The Ugly Truth Behind Old Money Aesthetic

[@ahrlj24]

These boys will be dressing in old money and speak the most informal English “Wassup” Whas good” “Cap”

[@kylemazur1447]

If I dress like I’d from the hood should I say the N word? No.

I don't understand how Jay Gatsby has become the exemplar for this "old money" style when he epitomizes all the traits of the nouveau riche.

[@MarcillaSmith]

More like, "old 'new money' aesthetic." Real old money = miserly. Most "old money" is trying to hold on to what's left of a fortune that gets further diluted with each passing generation.

[@ianinkster2261]

Well he aimed for kind of old money notions , faking a history at Oxford etc, but made a hash of it, if I remember.

I still drive a 1983 Mercedes 300D. My (very successful) attorney step brother asks me "why I still keep that old thing? " It has 300K miles on it. It purrs like a brand new sewing machine, and I turbo it up on a nearly abandoned stretch of highway to 130 mph every once in awhile. I'm keeping it until it falls apart! My family were the Dukes - who founded American Tobacco Company. He's the first one in his family to experience immense success. Also, I listen to how people order at restaurants. Lower class people will say "can I get a hamburger?" A well-educated and culturally well-rounded person will say: " I'd like a hamburger - with no pickles, please." Also grammatical errors like "we have went" and "I seen a tornado" - the minute you open your mouth, certain cultural markers readily appear...

IF you are obsessed about "old money aesthetics", you are not old money. LOL Real old money don't give a crap about some kind of "aesthetics"; they just simply dress in whatever they like. All those people who try to dress the "old money aesthetics" are all non-old money trying to mimic "old money". Be yourself! Create your own style and dress in your own style!! You look the prettiest when you dress in your own style. Do not ever mimic others!

[@stevemiller7949]

TOTALLY!

[@Austin8thGenTexan]

Old money will often have noble pedigrees before coming to the United States. (Some of our ratty furniture will be nearly as old!) It doesn't deal with old money per se, but an interesting book is "The Millionaire Next Door." Looks can be deceiving... 🤔

I find it fascinating how anyone could draw conclusions about others based on the close they wear and how they wear it. For example, one person could buy louis vitton with a lot of monogram while someone else buys a louis vitton product with nothing on it. Although both products are from the same brand, they both distingush the consumers into completely different categories of buyer.

[@123_matthew1]

It's almost how they market products to the poor knowing that they cannot afford it. It's the brand that people pay for and not necessarily the quality of product. Even fashion amongst aristocrats is a secret language only they understand.

[@patrickgunn.p]

Thanks for sharing an intriguing insight! I agree that these luxury high fashion brands have done a great job in marketing. For people who are only attracted to the status that the brand represents, these brands just offer a mere T-shirt with a large screening logo (and end up making lumpsum on it). For aficionados who value substance and sophistication in a design element, they can exclusively sell their haute couture collection to these people (to establish their position as high-end designer brands). A pure masterclass on leveraging human nature, I must say. 🤣

[@CoveringFish]

@@123_matthew1even for them it’s exhausting

[@patrick383ironworker]

Or the words they spell wrong.........

[@bevygaines]

Close they wear????

[@sentiasatransformasi]

old money aesthetic is a lifestyle. its an attitude. posting stories of you in a golf course or fancy restaurant is lame. you need to live it n embrace it, even if it means you go to one of these places once in a while

[@kingofbithynia]

I wonder what i would be considered? An old money person or a new money person or a new old money person? My family was part of the Ottoman Border Lords in Balkans after lose of Bosnia to Austria they settled to Anatolia and bought lands on a planned railroad track and get rich again and buy many shops and rented them but my great grandfather lost everything when he was a 9 or 12 years old kid. He and his little brothers all given to families in different cities by God knows who after his father’s death from injuries of WW1. They even stolen our family sword from the First Bey(Lord) of our family. Anyways my great grandfather had 2 brothers he and middle brother managed to meet and settle together to the same town but they never managed to find their smallest brother.

[@AnimationKing-]

I have a similar story. My great grandfathers on both sides were landowners in the Ethiopian Empire. On my father’s side, there was a military tradition, and my father’s grandfather (my great-grandfather) was rewarded for his military service. This communists seized most of the family lands, so my parents grew up in modest circumstances and emigrated to the West (I won’t say what country for privacy reasons). But it is fascinating, no?

[@JT-rx1eo]

Im working class. I love "Old Money" style. It seems to me that, often, running away from the Old Money aesthetic is less genuine that embracing it, regardless of socioeconomic class.

[@bjrnnorman8916]

[@Jomaxp]

Realisticly seen no person who falls under the social media definiton of "Old Money" Would Ever Wear Ready to Wear

[@saifdoc]

[@channelchen]

Aristo-crazy. Love the pronunciation of this term.

[@jdblack9703]

Excellent presentation.

[@thatsagoodone8283]

Joel Edgerton here looks like a beefed up Ricky Gervais casted for the Hollywood biopic of Rickys life

[@LiamPalomba1]

Good take.

[@bjrnnorman8916]

Love your video

[@CoveringFish]

[@simdsn3215]

You never mentioned the racial aspect of this term

[@patrickgunn.p]

Well, I intentionally used the image from 'Dead Poet Society' to describe it instead. 😉
