A huge conversation has been had over the last year or so regarding quiet luxury vs loud luxury and the general 'old money' aesthetic, but I think more recently it's peaked in popularity with more brands producing 'recession-core' looks and focusing on timeless pieces. So let's have a little chat about this whole old money thing...ENJOY!

I think that trying to look old money is the most new money thing a person can do🤷🏾‍♀️

@glaciergang Год назад

This is a hot take🔥

@wintermatherne2524 Год назад

Unless it happens to be your true style. I’m not old money but when I see people using luxury to be seen I cringe.

@LovelyLittleLillies Год назад

There's no reason to shame people who are into that aesthetic. Why is it the most prettiest, intriguing things are left exclusively to the wealthiest - ask yourself? Being lower class doesn't mean you haven't got taste or eyes that enjoy seeing pretty things. From gorgeous, intricate private gardens to architecture that's very artistic to views from the upper floors of sky scrapers.... Even things like cinema and television and phones were once only afforded by the rich. Things like capturing your childhood in pictyand videos this new generation don't know how good they have it. Coming from a poorer world I barely had baby photos and no videos. Yet there's RU-vid videos of someone capturing their highschool experience in the 80's and 70's. I don't think we should look down on people enjoying the old money aesthetic. To call it new money thing is elitism and snobbery if it was coming from an old money person just bc they don't like sharing their spaces.

Interesting video. First timer on this site. What I found interesting here is quiet luxury. A sort of minimalism; classic color choices, quality fabrics, RL ads. That all sounds y good to me. Good taste acquired over the years of making choices and experimenting with our individual preferences, we find personal style. Thank you for this discussion. Lots to think about.

As someone with "no money" I still enjoy timeless pieces. I have found it more important to wear what flatters me. Such as going by my color analysis, fit, etc. I also love vintage for it's uniqueness. It's very likely no one else in the world will have the same pieces.

To me the real "Old money" aesthetic was always the "Quiet Luxury" because it is about quality fabrics, tailoring, having great posture, manners, vocabulary and being able to discuss a diversity of subjects.

@CocoB22 8 месяцев назад

Yes!!! The “Old Money” esthetic is about appropriately dressing. It is also about being comfortable in different situations. And being kind. But one thing about Old Money, they have people to take care of their clothes - or they do it . And it’s not that they don’t care if something is ruined by you spilling wine on their cashmere - they should be well mannered enough to not concentrate on the item damaged but make you feel ok and not as though you ruined them financially.

Idk how they could spin this and turn the joke around lol. One brand I could see hopping on the trend is telfar with their notoriously capacious bags lol. And they definitely wouldn't wanna be seen as old money quiet luxury.

@gaiamorgosi7181 Год назад

I’m surrounded by people that have some generational wealth and the idea the live by is “I’m rich so I don’t have to prove that to anyone”, who believe in quality over name. Which, by the way, it’s not a bad idea, being judged by how much luxury you have shouldn’t be a thing, many people think that to be important you have to prove that you have luxury things, otherwise you’re a poor person that can’t afford that. No. Please. Have fun and buy what you want, what is good for you and what makes you feel like a boss.

@bridgetdickert5040 Год назад

This is sooooo interesting! My older lady experience is it’s the STRIVING for the “old money” aesthetic that’s kind of sad. If quiet and minimalist is one’s comfort zone (that’s me), good on you; but if bright or quirky or shouty fills your life with joy and zip, lean into it and enjoy every minute. I LOVE watching other women (and men) figuratively strut their stuff, no holds barred. Conversely, I have no time at all for folks who sniff dismissively at a certain style because of a “new money” connotation. The whole point of fashion is putting an outward appearance on your inner self. I do, however, draw the line at Teletubbies footwear. No, just no. ❤

@CassieThorpe Год назад

WORD FOR WORD I AGREE!!! I too draw the line at the teletubbies 👀😂

@jjpp412 Год назад

Striving, especially doing so in a perceivable way, is the most vulgar thing to actual “old money” people too. People should wear what they want, but looking like you’re trying too hard to look like a caricature of a wealthy person gives the opposite of what it’s supposed to give…

@s.a.4358 Год назад

Agree! I do like colour in life in general, but my personal style is more neutral, soft colours, minimal-ish and comfort / practicality over fashion statement. I also try to have all my clothes and accessories go with each other as much as possible versus having statement pieces that only go with certain looks. So logos, bold prints and colours are not something I buy usually (except for earrings as I love bold earrings). Do do not at all think those things are tacky or ugly. In fact I love watching Cassie and other content creators and often think items looks nice (LV bags especially…they have so many things I find pretty) but I can appreciate the aesthetic while preferring to buy something else for myself. Iris Appel is a good example. That lady looks amazing and I love how she expresses herself through her style, but it is not something I will replicate.

Unfortunately, as a POC, having an old money aesthetic is a great weapon for getting basic social respect, appropriate service at restaurants/stores, and better perception in the workplace. I do love the old money look (read: plain & simple) as it’s my comfort zone. It reminds me how good my grandparents looked at formal events. But sometimes I also want to have those things while wearing my “trashy” got-this-from-an-NY-thriftstore look. 😂I’m still hesitant about my *obnoxious* pink ultra-puffy sleeve and garden print skirt.

But whenever I get dressed up to go somewhere, I find myself asking myself "Would Grandma wear this with this?" I can't help it😂😂😂

@RayneRain77 Год назад

This is an aspect that people don’t acknowledge. For marginalized groups, dressing in this aesthetic leads to more respectability and opportunities at upward mobility. Sad way of the world but it’s a reality. If people perceive you to be wealthy, they interact with you in a completely different manner than if you were just normal.

I don’t think dressing in an old money aesthetic is automatically encouraging elistim because at the end of the day it’s just a style.

I like a lot of elements that fall under ‘old money’, though I don’t say I had made any conscious elements to do that, but it doesn’t define my personality at all. I just prefer less logos, sharp lines and block colours 😂

@LovelyLittleLillies Год назад

Old money loves to gatekeep that's why they get snobbery if you start owning what they own. Yet the prettiest of things in the world, from architecture, to gardens, to clothes (haute couture) has been exclusive for the wealthy. They genuinely consume very aesthetic things, why wouldn't working money not gravitate or enjoy them either? Don't people go to art shows and theatre?. People who dress that esthetic whether cosplaying or just liking the clothes doesn't even matter. To aspire to be old money or daydream about it there's nothing wrong. Better than the tacky dressing of the current times. There's just a level of harmony and naturalness in old money aesthetic - like more natural makeup - that celebrates nature and people in the skin they were born in why new money is destroying every aspect of what you were born with: plastic fake nails, false lashes the size of a caterpillar, plastic procedures that ruin your natural form (bums, boobs, and lip filler) and that harsh heavy makeup from conturing just to name a few

I dont necessarily think they are pro elitism. At least normal people like this aesthetic because its not flashy and obnoxious. For example imagine how your all logo obviously expensive clothes would make a broke not so glamorously dressed person feel? I like it because dressing discreetly wont put someone around you down, wont make them feel insecure in your presence. But thats my personal opinion tho not everybody agrees. Also its often times just better fitted therefore looks more flattering. Flashy brands don't usually accentuate on good fitting they're more about sales.

I think that there is a difference between true 'old money' and 'quiet luxury'. Mary Kate and Ashley have obviously mastered 'quiet luxury', but they are not 'old money'. If you are truly 'old money', you generally inherited it from your family, you didn't earn it. You just happen to have been born into it and can afford to pay exorbitant amounts of money for items that no one would recognize, other than other people who also happened to be born into 'old money'. 'New money' can also buy the 'old money' aesthetic through brands that produce 'quiet luxury'. And the Olsen twin that was carrying the beat-up Hermes bag, what was that all about? Is she trying to say that she has 20 more in her mansion? The whole situation is laughable!

If you have a generous trust fund, or if you already live on government benefits, then you don't have to worry. The rest of us have to account for the tastes of the people we work for. Also family members to whom we may be accountable. And the potential in-laws.

I've always loved the "rich lady going to a country club" fashion look, but I'll never be a quiet luxury bag girl - I love a really bold statement-y bag. Also, a lot of people I know have been choosing to dress in a more quiet luxury way for safety reasons these days - not sure if that's a reason the trend is taking off, but I've been hearing a lot about that lately. It might partially be paranoia, but a lot of people I know are afraid that dressing flashy with the economy the way it is right now could make them a target for theft, so they're not wearing obvious prints like Louis Vuitton that everyone would recognize as being from a luxury house.

It's WASP fashion, a culture not a costume. It has nothing to do with 'dressing expensive' but magazines dying without affiliate links would have you think that. Of course they would... The minimalism is not deliberate, people starved during the Great Depression in England too. It wasn't sparse out of some Zoomer aesthetic vanity, but necessity. As a WASP, they make us sick.

Great video! Interesting topic. I love luxury (I’m subscribed to this channel so duh) and I love pieces from both. I tend to lean toward “old money” brands but I also love brands such as Versace… I just buy what I love! For me it’s not just for style, it’s a safety issue. I can wear luxury that is “you know you know” and not worry about being mugged or robbed because someone saw me in a recognizable brand. It just also happens that “quiet luxury” I can style more easily for everyday and is more my aesthetic. While “loud luxury” tends to be more statement pieces where I am wearing them for a moment.

@CassieThorpe Год назад

I honestly could care less about the “old money” aesthetic. I love to see people wear what they love and what excites them! Additionally, old money isn’t accessible to ~90% of the world given that extreme wealth at that level was often built on the backs of others and inherited through generations. Cosplaying as old money is of no interest to me! 😅

I loved this video! I've actually found myself thinking about this a lot over the last several months. On one hand, I love and appreciate those who gravitate toward the "new money" aesthetic with the bold patterns and bright colors. It's loud and interesting and NEVER boring, and I love that. On the other hand, my personal taste leans more towards the "old money" aesthetic - I'm drawn to the neutrals and the quiet for myself. Not that I have old money and can afford quiet luxury 😂 but I'm just drawn to the look. However, I do not at all care for the snobbery/racism/elitism that goes with it.

@deborahcurtis1385 Год назад

Yes the main thing is that you actually WEAR the bags and they fit in with your clothes and lifestyle. Too often it's a fantasy purchase for a life that people are not actually living. In that case you risk looking silly and out of place wherever you try to go, I try to dress appropriately and have some fun with it as well. Some might say I'm trying to look quiet luxury but the truth is I"m making my wardrobe work hard and that's just 'sensible money'.

@blktauna Год назад

Quiet luxury is not minimal at all. Its just a different aesthetic. Besides you need neutrals to make your Bulgari jewelry pop, don't you? :-P Not everyone can carry off 5 statement pieces at once but almost anyone can look good in restrained colours. Even people who don't do 'fashion' want to look nice. Its easier in a restrained aesthetic. Like Garanimals. Its just simpler. Then it also allows those who like a crazed pop, have a nice canvas to display their wild pieces.

I have found that over the latter years, my luxury has been understated. Honestly, I started wearing luxury when I wanted everyone to know I was becoming successful...no cap 🎓. Then I graduated to wearing luxury because of craftsmanship, and I didn't care about outside validation. Now, I wear luxury that only the “few “ can recognize. But...I have a ridiculous collection because of all the stages I went through. Luxury makes us feel a certain way, and if that brings you happiness, them go for it. Also, people from ALL WALKS of the income spectrum partake in luxury. Luxury is not just bags, clothes, etc...Luxury is varied and can manifest itself in many ways. Old money is for a tiny percentage of people on Earth. Most of us have brand-new money. Live and enjoy life while being responsible.

It's two completely different mindsets and priorities and both can exist. However, old money can keep The Row 😂😂

@itstiffany510 Год назад

I think I’m definitely more old money in aesthetic, but not because I’m a big fan of IYKYK or the elitism associated. More because I feel a bit uncomfortable wearing logos and having people in my life recognize how much money I spend on fashion. I come from an immigrant family who would FAINT if they knew how much money I was spending, even though I have a good job and am capable of affording these things. I love the quality and design of luxury, not necessarily the logo. But that’s just me, and I very much admire the people who can rock the head to toe logo look because slayyyy. I just can’t get MYSELF to do it.
