Contemplating about middle class in Iran society has always been a controversial issue. In such a manner, doing research on the lifestyle of middle class members can be considered as a useful investigation. This research aims at describing and analyzing various dimensions of middle class members’ lifestyle in 80s and 90s in Tehran. I carried out my research thanks to Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical perspective on social class and lifestyle. The main methods of data collection were life history and focus group. I interviewed 15 middle class members based on theoretical sampling, and continued interviews until I reached theoretical saturation. Furthermore, data was analyzed and interpreted with the help of the content analysis method. According to the findings of this research, while the economic, cultural, social, and symbolic capitals of middle class members were considerably increased in 80s and 90s, such capitals have been dramatically decreased since mid-90s. Then, the most of interviewees, thanks to the growth of their diverse capitals, upgraded themselves in the fields of power and social classes between the beginning of the 80s and mid-90s. In contrast, they lost their previous positions and fell into lower positions between mid- 90 and the end of this decade.
