Study Rich People with me (OLD MONEY Style)

Join me as we take a deep dive into the Old Money Aesthetic. We’ll time travel back to the colonial days and America’s Gilded Age and get to the root between the Old Money vs. New Money divide. How do you tell if someone comes from old money? Fancy is the life they lead and we’ll get deep into their clam bakes and pachance for tomato sandwiches.
Last but not least, we’ll break down the wardrobe essentials you will need to look like you stepped out from the pages of a vintage Ralph Lauren Polo ad.

This has been the funniest “Old Money Aesthetic” video on KZbin that I have yet watched. Thanks for the laughs! I hope you get adopted soon. 😂

[@teresachaotic.corner]

🤣 thank you!

[@mch43856]

"So that's when you know you have old money, when you live in a castle and then you find random Egyptian artifacts from your famous archaeologist grandfather." That cracked me up so hard 🤣

[@teresachaotic.corner]

oh what a life! 🤣

[@christinareynoldsmusic]

This is the best old money video I’ve seen so far😭

[@teresachaotic.corner]

thank you🥰

[@kathleensiemion5108]

So basically think the Gilmores from Gilmore girls and within that think more the grandparents than Rory and Lorelai. Emily definitely wears the blazer skirt set.

[@mathiasmorrison1530]

I think you are talking about my grandma. She sadly passed away in 2020 with 94 years but the things you were saying brought a smile to my face. She had this sunday easter church look. She looked like the Queen. A lot of her belongings (paintings, furniture etc) are no inside my parents house. We also moved some of her rose bushes. Guess i am old money now... Sorry for my bad english

[@teresachaotic.corner]

I'm sorry about your grandma, but I'm happy this video brought her closer in your memory. Sounds like she had tons of style and exceptional taste!

[@mathiasmorrison1530]

@@teresachaotic.corner Yeah! She was some kind of stylisch old Lady!

[@kilianwinkelmann]

I am not going to adopt you, but your show was very cosy, and I love you very much.

[@teresachaotic.corner]

🤣🥰

[@c004857]

Don't forget Martha Stewart. Definitely new money. I always imagine myself like her canning left over summer fruits or tending to her rose garden at the Hamptons. I just realized that being quite poor like me can be mistaken for having quiet luxury.

[@teresachaotic.corner]

🤣

[@KSlivinghappy]

Very entertaining and great explanation. 😊

[@teresachaotic.corner]

thank you!!!

[@cecehowl]

This video is great, I laughed a lot watching it 😂 I’m not old money, but not poor either, and there are different types of dressage and it’s not all the fancy footwork you see on the Olympics. I was taught to ride dressage when I was growing up and my sister showed dressage with our horses and it can be way different.

[@teresachaotic.corner]

Dressage is an elegant sport and I had no idea there are so many different types! thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@mike.p.1400]

I grew up in New England Teresa. The Boston area. I like a lot of the stuff you showed. Although I’m certainly not old money.

[@teresachaotic.corner]

Have you been to a clam bake?

[@mike.p.1400]

@@teresachaotic.corner almost every year. Up the cape.

[@teresachaotic.corner]

@@mike.p.1400 oh man! I can only imagine🥰you don't need to be old money to partake in shellfish and live the dream!

[@mike.p.1400]

@@teresachaotic.corner no you don’t. It’s fun and cheap. Clams oysters steamers and lobster and corn on the Cobb. A couple of bears with friends and family. Nice fire on the beach. It’s nice.

[@isotopebunny]

Excellent video, but old money *never* wears mini-skirts. Minimum 15” length or just above the knees, activewear exempted. Anything shorter is only worn by the 20-years-younger 2nd wife who will be dropped by age 35.

[@zothandomzizi]

You are very funny, I really enjoyed this 😂❤.

[@teresachaotic.corner]

🥰 thank you!

[@sc6658]

Every time a KZbin video alludes to royal incest, I wait for the classic Charles the Bewitched to flash across the screen. And today I was not disappointed.

[@tentimetex]

But if everyone starts dressing like this, then you have no advantage....

[@jodiem3520]

Today years old finding out that tights are called pantyhose over there 😆 I thought everyone called them tights

[@teresachaotic.corner]

Summoning up the 70 yr old lady in me who calls them "pantyhose" 👵🏻

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

“Tights” usually refers to the heavier, colored (especially black) or textured hosiery or what ballet dancers wear. “Pantyhose” usually mean the flesh-colored sheer hosiery. Old school “hose” - short for “hosiery” - were the ones from before the 60s that had to be attached to garters. When the one-piece hose (with an attached panty) came out, they were called “pantyhose!”

[@TanayaDavis]

This was great! 😂

We all wore RL , we all dressed preppy in the late 80's. Believe me, we were not wealthy teens. We all went to private schools, Catholic schools.... All Nuns.... The best education anyone could get.... We were all kids of Irish immigrants. This was in the Boston suburbs. We all went to better colleges, Boston college, Dartmouth in New Hampshire , Notre Dame, these were the Irish schools that were our first choices. Our parents worked so hard, we all had at least 4 siblings.... We all did well, because we worked hard.. Bags weren't a big thing with us. You sound so sour and jealous. Get over it.

My family has a huge history of fantasising about being old money. My great-grandmother (herself a talented seamstress married to a landscape painter and 3 or 4 other guys) used to say her grandfather was a baron before the Russian revolution. I did some research and turns out he was a cobbler's son turned soldier of the imperial guard turned an accountant. He was such a pretentious guy that his own cook laughed at him (he used to throw tea cups and saucers at housemaids if they were mismatched). After the revolution he literally lost his mind and died in the asylum. He was also ethnically German and had three names, I guess this added to his "aristocratic" image. By the way, his wife's niece was a ballet dancer in Mariinsky Theater (at the same time as Anna Pavlova, they were colleagues, though not friends). She married a nephew of Leo Tolstoy's wife. They were quite well-off, but she still used to ask all the rich people around her for huge sums of money (including Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich, one of the murderers of Rasputin). After the revolution they emigrated to France, and one of her daughters married some Russian duke there. The irony is that that ballerina herself was from a family of shopkeepers (in and out of poverty), which was considered to be very unrefined. On my grandfathers side of the family there is a legend that we are the descendants of one quite famous figure from the Ukranian history of the early 18th century, even though the ancestors we know about (from the late 19th century) were really poor and mostly illiterate peasants (but they had the same surname and originally came from the same place as he did). So, I might not be old money, but at least I'm an old wannabe (with some really nice landscapes).

[@teresachaotic.corner]

Your family history is literally a sprawling historical novel! I love it! 🥰

[@Tatiana_Palii]

@@teresachaotic.corner thank you so much🥰

[@da3749]

Does it count if they founded a town (relatively big) in a different country? 😅

[@teresachaotic.corner]

yes🤣

[@thisisnotaarealname]

The Kennedy's are Catholic, so technically not WASPs

[@GAYRURALGUY]

Close to what old money is like.

[@luxuryminimalism]

Funniest thing!😂

[@RCDiaz-Balart]

For the Ritz crackers thing, I don't know where that came from maybe that's a West Coast thing, on the East Coast (specifically New York and Connecticut, with my parents later Summers becoming Jupiter Florida) we always did Carrs crackers. I feel like this video itself would be an interesting interview or collaboration style where you could go through your notes and I could tell you my perspective cuz I feel like there's a lot of things I want to reply to but there's definitely not enough room and it'd be far too long to read.

[@echezona.ukachukwu]

Chic is funny.

[@tajemmanuel1582]

hahha.. you are so funny

[@nawhatererr]

Jesus, it was so painfully sarcastic. A lot of frustration coming out of it 😬

[@markwalsh6714]

You learnt about the royal family by watching the crown lol 😂good luck with that approach to life lol 😅

[@sputnikcaviar5592]

LOL...the Kennedy's are Catholic!!! and the old school is WASP!! But I get it you are young and not on your game.

[@AlonsiniGil]

I’ve always wondered why East Asians are so obsessed with our culture. They want to imitate our European essence as much as possible. Style, art, color, skin, way of dressing It doesn't happen with Latin people or Hispanics, it doesn't happen with Arabs, it doesn't happen with people from Africa. This is like a resort deep in the far east. They should be proud of their culture

[@margesherwood5103]

I guess the same reason European have borrowed from other cultures. Chinoserie, black culture and cosmetics surgery...tans...

[@Imxel21]

Lol europeans are notorious for taking from other cultures

[@sophieartmusic]

Polo is an Arabian sport. Golf ⛳️ originated from China. Who copying who? Europeans were obsessed with East Asia.

[@teresachaotic.corner]

What images come to mind when you think "Old Money"?

[@jodiem3520]

Fashion wise I think natural colours/ next to no patterned fabric and absolutely no graphic T shirts 🤔 it’s almost the clean girl aesthetic I find

[@teresachaotic.corner]

Yes! Very clean girl aesthetic!

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Seriously? I think of dumpy women who wear the same expensive clothes they have worn for decades sitting on worn sofas on worn but priceless carpets with dogs everywhere. The men hunt and go to the club. Maybe (like King Charles) they paint or carve or something. The women garden and knit and and read and occasionally meet sorority friends for lunch to discuss the weather and charity efforts.

[@mike.p.1400]

Well dressed and quiet confidence. Coming of a private jet with a limo waiting. Polite. Well mannered. And impeccable hygiene. Hair. Skin and nails. Just to name a few. ❤

[@adriluda]

Wheat thins for sure

[@donodegard2749]

Serina is Old Money, Blair is New Money.

[@Lalalu74]

Serena is new money too because her parents were poor.

[@XDgrl1232]

lol same, adopt me

[@teresachaotic.corner]

🤣 all our problems are solved if the Kennedys want to start an adoption program for grown up women. Actually... I think there's a name for that🤔

[@siabhatia9003]

No joke but the matching suit thing was wrong but other things were legit I come from this background but we are def very low key not what people always imagine

[@mikegrowe9060]

Wow this vid drips with such a smug tone. She seems disgusted with "WASPy" culture.

[@isotopebunny]

What other response is there?

[@Imxel21]

As one should be

[@Sam-tq6xr]

Gen-Z might be the most cringiest generation of all times. They brought back exile (AKA cancel culture) and classism into fashion all at once😬

Advice: if you want to have easy life , get rich bf who's average looking, increase cooking skill, start faking things like anxiety, depression, make your self feel vulnerable, make sure distance yourself from male friends, make sure don't talk about feminism. May be watch tv whole day make sure not to use phone too much This works majority of time unless he is closeted gay guy or sexseeker .
