So what is old money aesthetic?
Old money aesthetic has grown massively in popularity on Tik-Tok recently and embodies all things wealth and quiet luxury. It’s sophisticated and classy, as opposed to flashy and in your face – think Rosamund Pike in Saltburn (or just Rosamund Pike in general), Princess Di, and Sophia Richie, there are no flashy logos on show here but you still know it’s expensive. It’s giving generational wealth – a vibe so wealthy you don’t need to flaunt it. You’ve got enough money to not even care if people think you don’t, there’s nothing to prove with flashy logos. The old money aesthetic is clean, simple, elevated, and chic.
An old money girl uses holiday as a verb, she spends her winters skiing and her summers in Italy or the family house in France. She’s always got the perfect bouncy blow and eats olives by the bucket. Naturally, she has two black labs and at least three tweed pieces in her wardrobe. She took tennis lessons when she was younger and is now the perfectly dressed, perfectly tanned girl we all aspire to be. We love to hate her and we’re desperate to look just as put together.
