What Girls Think of the Old Money Aesthetic - A Woman's Honest Reaction to Outfits 

Book a 1-1 style consultation with me - calendly.com/gent-z-style/consultation

The point about old money is that if you don't have it you never will.

She's dressed up like that trad woman meme and I can't unsee it lol but you both look great together. Cheers

Yes, bring the Lady back. She brings honesty and wisdom to the table in a very pointed way with out being overly critical. I hold her opinion in high regard. I am new to this channel and will be coming back often. Good work! By the way, I am 53 and I am so glad more younger men are taking style and manners seriously again!

I had no money in college, yet still dressed old money. I was a Kappa Sig, who went to an old boys catholic high school. Today, I have money, and dress old money, still. If you remember anything gents, don’t buy cheap shoes. Nice video my friend. Your girlfriend has good taste, like my wife of 30 years. Semper Fidelis, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps (Retired) and now a C-Suite executive 🇺🇸

"You can break rules, but it's helpful to know them first..." is wild! Clear violation!

This channel is criminally underrated!

I wouldn’t call it old money I call it classic

Good idea to include Augustina's POV. I would also enjoy hearing Jeeves' evaluation on these ensembles as well.

My main issue with the 'old money' look is that too often you'll look like a complete twat if you try it. Imagine wearing a cricket jumper on a night out in Manchester. You'd have your own blood on it before too long. Old money outfits work great if you're attending a polo match or a regatta. If you live on a council estate in Wigan, they're not going to help much. My experience has been that it's better to have your own sartorial style, and base it on the Four Commandments of dressing well; -Put some thought into your outfit -Choose your shoes wisely; women WILL notice them -Put your outfit on with care -Forget you're wearing it. Nothing looks worse than a self-conscious man trying to look cool.

Offensive pants? Well, there you go. I love those sky-blue colour pants.

Def. great video. Bring her back. I worry about some of the Brooks Brothers clothes I purchased recently (mostly casual ones tbh) because they're trying to appeal to the streetwear crowd and i like classic/traditional looks even though I'm a new age/law of attraction type.

When you are doing your solo videos you should pretend your girlfriend is there or you are talking to her because in this video you are much more relaxed and engaging on camera.

Love it. Great job

Your girl friend is your secret weapon you should do more videos with her she’s great

I kind of changed completely both my way of clothing *and* my mindset when I was 19 (long, long ago). I *fully* endorse your points on most issues regarding this and can only recommend your views. Gen Z, millennials and, to be honest, even older guys need these insights very badly. Keep on the good work!

Very informative and interesting video. And having Agustina’s input was a huge plus. I definitely vote for bringing her back… Thanks so much for everything you do!!

I agree with her 100%. She's got a good eye for what looks good and what doesn't. You should bring her back more often.

Hello. What do you think about "plus fours" (real Knickerbocker)?

Thanks for having the beautiful lady and her input. 🧡 It is very important to me what women “think “. I always ask my wife for her opinion before I buy or wear anything. I dress for my wife and woman and not men. ✅😎

She’s very cute, but I would rather see what you’re talking about a bit more, the pictures a bit more on the screen. Love hearing her 👍 (And you as well! 😊)

Woooooooow ! You are both classic people of London ❤

I can never get used to trousers being called "pants", especially by a Brit. The idea of ironing my pants is hilarious although I think Mr Bean does that.

i find apple watches and similar a crime :)

Love it. Great job. Augustina (spelling) adds a great commentary. I love Italian loafers and wear them most days. Also supple textured knits

How about the timeless Cary Grant look. E.g., In movie To Catch a Thief on the Riviera. in addition to his more casual look.

A pin-striped suit should never be worn casually unless it is a wide-spaced stripe and worn as a seperate with jeans, or pin-striped trousers with a contrasting knit sweater or a linen shirt.

I think it’s awesome that you got your girlfriend to give her feed back on the different styles that fall under the old money aesthetics which helps us as men I just wonder if this perspective and like also applies to other women of nationality.

"Old Money" is a trend, nor should they wear "Ivy League", etc. Gentlemen should not wear trends, they should wear classic men's wear. If that includes elements of old money or ivy then it is fair, but one shouldn't try for an entire time period/trend. If you want to see a chunky shoe, check out Doc Marten's loafers; I say a few pairs today.

How did she hate on that brooks brother add? That was pure class

You guys are lovely together

She's gorgeous. White bucks look great with a crisp linen suit.

The white shoes are “white Bucks” Buckskin. You also see them in a brown beige. They have been around sine the 30’s

Could you do a gentleman’s guide for groomsman or general wedding etiquette? (Including plus one rules?

I am german, Brittas boyfriend. During guided historical tours i visited a number of castles, where i saw the noble owners. Some had been dressed in english country gentleman style, some in german country gentlemans style, one in classic german hunters dress.

The left outfit is quite well composed. The problem is the location, that looks like NYC, not a picturesque seaside town.

I think the last comment Augustina made was the most accurate and relevant. Everything else is subjective. Especially that all but 2 guys in your sample photos are models, I think they can get away with wearing a lot more than what normal fat, short, bald, disproportional bodied men can't pull off. With women it's more about the looks, build and height of the man than his clothes. If you put a well dressed short bald ugly guy next to a tall muscular well chiseled jawlined model wearing thongs and a t shirt; I guarantee she will always pick the better looking guy than the best dressed. And there's nothing wrong with that because it's an instinct humans are drawn to attractiveness for procreation of our species. But to judge clothing style is an individual choice. To be honest I don't find Augustina's style was to my preference. That 1950s dress and headband reminds me of the Happy Days era. A bit outdated for modern times. She was also wearing an Apple watch which was offensive. However, if she looked like a supermodel I'm sure I would overlook her style mistakes

What Iman Gahdzi was wearing was far from “Old Money” in my opinion it is the embodiment of Neuvo Riche. Pin stripe suit with sneakers and white t shirt and a pocket square. I stand corrected, it’s old money if someone like Rod Stewart might have worn something like this in the 1970’s.

"cricket sweater looks lumpy" next picture: 10/10 cricket sweater on a 10/10 guy haha

She is not a fan of white bucks shoes but she likes white sneakers. Interesting.

cricket sweater is a classic, disagree completely

A tucked in sweater is a major fashion crime.

Gentlemen, buy an iron and an ironing board. Learn how to use it. It may take some trial and error, but you'll learn. You don't want your good clothes to look like they double as pajamas. Ahhh! When did white pants with everything come back in style?

I believe she nails it everytime. Like the toe being off with the cheesy guy.

Iman Gadzhi just looks like a poser, "I'm so cool I can break all the rules, look at me I'm such a rebel."

Who do you recommend to get tips from for like a 57yo man or do you have any thoughts that might help?

She's "Offended " by a pair of pants! Just SMH !

Really felt like I was vibing with these two until she mentioned being in middle school when I was 25…

We ca;; it a "Tennis sweater" and it belongs on the tennis court (or at a cricket match)Pants are too dark, they say Winter and sweater says Summer.

The bar is low. 😂

These studies need to look at real vintage fashion . They don't give any hint at any notion of "Old Money " at all! Young boys with bangles and shirts unbuttoned ,T shirts under shiny suits! Pah!

What they call a "cricket sweater" we in the US would call a tennis sweater.

In my mind, white t-shirts are just undershirts even if they were designed to be worn as an outside shirt.

my primary problem with "old money" is that it's just, like, prep but if you wanted to look like even more like an asshole. and i like polo shirts and nice sweaters and chinos! but "old money" is all very clearly super artificial. it's just a facade to disguise a lack of self.

The rakish gentleman with his buttons undone to reveal his tooth necklace looks like he's trying to seduce a 1980s Helena Bonham Carter character. It's way too try-hard and it's trying to combine the 'Alpha Hippy Traveller' look with 'English Gentleman on the Grand Tour' trousers.

Dude looks like old Elvis Presley

How can you not like the white shoes!!

Well done. Your girlfriend is a dead ringer for the model on the 1978 Cars album.

I would never dress for a woman, any woman. They are too emotional and quickly change their opinions. I dress for myself, and it works well.

The guy at 11:44 looks too tough or rugged to wear those kinds of eyewear.

The problem with every guy you showed is they were all 6’2 and 170lbs. That’s just unrealistic.

Why did you choose the most casual outfit that Iman wears. He dresses normally very nice.

12:40 you guys married yet? haha

This guy definitely tweezes his eyebrows. Looks off.

You sound British, your girlfriend sounds American, you say you live in a "hot country"? Where in the world are you?

If she were in Utah people would think she was a polygamist wife. That is exactly how they dress.

I don't like the contrasting of the soles at 2:22. It's not elegant, looks somewhat corny, and it just reminds me of those silly VANs canvas shoes.

Is your girlfriend from Argentina?

Geez, I actually think all of the outfits were horrible... dreadful, as a matter of fact. Their nannies should have dressed them better.

Your girlfriend's dress style looks a little old money. Shes like something out of the 1930s. How can a pair of trousers be offensive ?. Anyway good to hear a females point of view.

T-shirts under formal jackets. No. Just no.

More videos without your beard please.

Trousers please, not pants.

10:35 is too wannabe. Nice hair though.
