The Inner Party provided the spectable for the Proles in "1984" because the party members were thought to be taken care of by the government, while the proles were left to their own devices in caring for themselves.
Just as the quote goes "Only the proles are free" and if there's hope, it lies in the proles. Winston knows that the only one that are free from the monitor of the party are the proles. Hence he viewed them as the only hope for freedom. However, the proles are not really concerned about this.
The greatest threat to the inner party is people of the party and/or the proles beginning to think as individuals with their own individual feelings allowing them to revoke the subhumaness that the party has placed upon them and possibly use that power to revolt.
The proles wear normal clothes. Often rugged and ruined ones. The Outer Party wears boiled outlined blue jumpsuits. Which are given out by the Party since you work for the state. The Inner party members wears black jumpsuits and trousers, which means you could easily spot them.
George Orwell depicts the relationship between the three classes in the society of Oceania in a very doom and gloom manner. The Inner Party is a small-ish group of people that rules with an iron fist more totally than any communist leader or dictator that has ever existed in the present or past. They make up the upper class of Oceania. The outer party is like the middle class today, they do all the dirty work of the Inner Party. The main character in 1984 had a was a member of the outer party and worked to cover up errors made by the Party and put in lies instead. The lowest class is called the Proles. They are viewed as nothing more but simpleminded animals who have no more value than a beef cow or any other animal that can be sold commercially.
The proles are the only ones that are free in the society in 1984. They are not monitored by the party or telescreen and are free to do whatever they want. Hence Winston see them as the only hope to overthrow the party. However the proles usually just spend their days betting on lottery, drinking etc.
Inner Party, Outer Party and the Proles
Orwell describes the proles in 1984 as being uneducated, impoverished, and politically apathetic because they represent the majority of the population in the novel who are kept ignorant and distracted by the ruling party. By keeping the proles in this state, the party maintains control over them and prevents any potential uprising or rebellion. This serves to emphasize the stark contrast between the oppressed proles and the privileged Inner Party members.
According to Winston in the novel 1984, hope lies with the proles, the working class citizens of Oceania who have not been fully indoctrinated by the party. Winston believes that if the proles were to rise up and challenge the oppressive regime, there could be a chance for a better society.

The proles are controlled through a constant supply of meaningless entertainment, keeping them occupied enough to prevent them from becoming politically-minded, and therefore revolting against the Party.

In George Orwell's novel "1984," the society is divided into three main classes: the Inner Party, which consists of the ruling elite; the Outer Party, which comprises the middle class and serves the Party; and the Proles, who are the working class and make up the majority of the population. The Party maintains strict control over all aspects of society, ensuring that these classes remain in their assigned roles.
