Restraint, sophisticated elegance, minimalism, and the highest quality replacing brands and logos that overshadow clothing – that's what "old money aesthetic" is all about.
This aesthetic is characteristic of the wealthy individuals who inherited their fortune from their parents.
As reported: Сlutch.net.ua
People from these circles prefer to "whisper their wealth" (rather than shout it to the world) through exquisitely crafted and timeless ensembles, tantalizingly comfortable textiles, and eye-catching, cleverly designed accessories.
The good news is that you don't have to be an heir to a multimedia empire.
The old money aesthetic is not limited to a specific socio-economic class. In fact, quiet luxury is less about wealth and more about self-assurance – the choice of quality items that not only last a lifetime but also make you feel like a million dollars, regardless of your fashion budget.
The key here is refinement, an effortless attitude towards the expensive piece you're wearing, and the confidence to carry it. Brands associated with the old money style include Loro Piana, Brioni, Delvaux, Jil Sander, Canali, BODE, Brunello Cucinelli, and The Row.
There are two approaches to exploring the realm of old-fashioned fashion.
You don't have to spend over $850 on Loro Piana loafers, but there's nothing wrong with acquiring a few classic pieces.
If you take care of them properly, high-quality coats, cashmere knits, blazers, silk dresses, luxurious watches, or even a pair of loafers can last for years.
Flashiness is not welcome. Logos and loudness are almost nonexistent, replaced by clean lines, dark and neutral tones, relaxed and easy silhouettes.
However, it's not always minimalism.
It is believed that individuals following this style do not seek to flaunt their status through clothing, hence they choose items that appear simple yet "expensive" and reflect the style and admiration of old money representatives.
For example, tennis, golf, or equestrian activities.
