I think your channel is the best explanation of old money and classic style. Old money is not simply a fashion. It's also an attitude and lifestyle. People who naturally adopt it have been accustomed to it from birth. They attended private schools and socalized with other families of similar upbringing which moulded the way they think, speak, act and dress. Social media is only covering one aspect of the multi dimensional aesthetic and most influencers don't have real experience to be able to give proper advice. They themselves are following a trend. I have friends with generational wealth and they are very conservative. Their fashion sense was gained by interacting within their own social network, not digital social media or 3rd party advice from strangers. Which brings up another criticism of people following this trend, in that they may pretend to dress old money but they are not capable of showing educated intelligence through their presentation, mannerisms or speach. I also argue that it's not the clothes or accessories that maketh the man. It's the attitude in which it is worn. e.g. If two women held the same LV handbag; one being a social media follower and the other being of old money upbringing. As soon as they start a conversation with me or I can see their body language, then I can identify instantly whether they are real or fake. I once brought up this subject of old money to a friend from generational wealth. He was confused with the labelling of his style of dress. He was offended that I mentioned the word old as he thought I was saying his style was obsolete. For him that's just how he learned to dress since birth to ensure his clothes were clean, that they fit properly and were of lasting quality. I think if old money had to be described in one word, it would be Sprezzatura.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you like the channel. I totally agree. It comes down to it looking and feeling natural. I am from a middle class background, so I like the look of the old money style, but I have zero experience with every other aspect of their life and what makes real old money. The one upside of this trend is that more young people are trying to dress up more.
A brilliant comment on this brilliant channel I had a luck to come across. As someone who's coming from a poor background and has a passion for elevating, improving itself spiritually, culturally, educationally, politically, but also style-wise, I'm seriously disgusted all the pretentiousness and fakeness I would come across in this internet community (althought I understand those people, too, as no one is perfect and they are trying their best to elevate themselves, too, prehaps stand-out so they end up looking vain and arrogant...). But those mistakes made me afraid of possibly commiting the same type of mistakes and ending up like them. I'm gratefull for your channel Lukas as you are covering these subjects from a very down to earth, no-show-off, mature perspective which earned my total trust in your expertise and I'm thankful for it. Again, brilliant comment Oysterman, if you haven't taken your time to write it and express some of the similar thoughts that I had myself, I wouldn't end up typing my own comment neither.
One thing I noticed is that everyone you showed having a better idea of the old money look is that they’re older. I do think that old money is more of a mature look but a younger family member would be wearing something similar to the preppy look that the younger guys are wearing. There’s a reason why Grandpa looks stylish but a man in his early 20’s would be wearing “grandpas clothes” if he wore the same outfit. I think it’s ok for a younger person to be a bit more fashion forward and then change into a more classic look as they age. This is still a great video and I even got some ideas for my personal wardrobe which is going through a bit of a restructure since I’m entering my 30’s.
don't forget the many YT channels who steal content and use AI voices. For me old money look means dressing well, minimalistic, no streetwear, timelessly classic, like a man and not a teenager. You can achieve all that just with Uniqlo.
@@mikew742OP was talking about the look not the quality. For all the fast brands, uniqlo tends to be more traditional and durable. Still, they're fast fashion.q
I agree 100%! My father was an immigrant, but my mother's family was old money. I remember my grandmother meticulously cutting designer labels off of her clothing. I asked her why she did it. She replied, "Mr. Dior is not paying me to be a mannequin and I refuse to be his billboard." My grandfather was the original Steve Jobs - he had an unvarying uniform of casual suit for every season, and two formal suits with waistcoats for every season, plus a variety of chinos and short-sleeved cotton shirts and long-sleeved flannels and sweaters for puttering about in the garden. He could easily afford an imported car, but it would never occur to him to own one. He thought imported cars were vulgar; entirely the province of the nouveau riche, thug dictators, and Hollywood actors. Grandfather was a Buick man. He wore a leather-strapped Shinola watch, his wedding ring, and plain gold cufflinks (button cuff shirts were only for the most casual occasions). He always wore hats, straw boaters in the summer, wool fedoras most of the rest of the year. He passed in 1969 and I think he would be horrified by the currently false representation of "Old Money Style" which, I can guarantee you, he would view has hopelessly nouveau riche ignorance.
Thanks for another great video! You're right in the first point- old money is not about showing off, it's about being confident enough in who you are to not need to. I only unbutton 2 on my shirt at most :). Your examples are very good, and the points are spot on. I appreciate your attention to detail, and how you pull them out in these videos. I feel like I look somewhat "old money" even though I'm more "little money" ;)
Thank you for making this. I agree 100% I’m new to this style and was looking at tips but noticed these “old money” styles were look very forced & way too try hard
The other thing I noticed about the “correct” old money style photos is that most of the men are smiling. It’s subtle, but it adds to the relaxed, natural, and unpretentious feel. Even though they’re all photo shoots, It feels like those men are just being themselves, rather than trying to be someone else, which I think was one of your more important points.
Great video, lots of people on social wanting to look rich. One tiny detail,not that it matters, but in English we pronounce Reiss as "Ree-s" . A great brand as well. All the best!
Great video, I just find it funny that 'Old Money' has become a huge fashion phenomenon in America, in England it was always seen as a bit stuffy, old hat (literally), as it was posh people in the country where there ancestors made alot of money 200 years ago and still live off the handed down wealth and happily get by, the fashion style was Earth tone Cords, Granville Tank Tops (An old English TV show called open All Hours), Tweed jackets, clapped out old Land Rovers and the estate in need of a new roof. It's not a good look LOL What made it sexy and popular? Is the the TV show Succession? Not complaining as the new rendition of 'Old Money' as a fashion trend is very tasteful and I support any trend that gets men dressing better in a timeless classical way. It's way better than the sea of drab grey hooded tracksuits, sneakers and smart watches as far as the eye can see. So many thanks in spreading the culture.
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. Ha I had to look up the Granville Tank Tops 😂 Definitely not a great look. You're right. Anything that gets people to dress better is a win. Same with the Peaky Blinders or Mad Men trend.
@@Lukas_Schanderl Regarding the above comment, it is true what is said about the landed gentry of Great Britain by the 1970s. But some were scruffy , as their fortunes had been declining for the last hundred years, and for others since the Labour Government came in in 1945( which I agreed with ) These landowners were super taxed on their estates which caused many of them to enter total decline. Many were demolished . Finally saved by becoming open to public visits etc and modernised . It is a complex story because Britain was bankrupted by the war. Regarding the fashion, British tailoring was a massive influence in the first half of the 20th Century and related to this class of people you describe the "old money" , You will see beautiful examples of it on actors like Basil Rathbone , Tyrone Power, David Niven, and many others , including Cary Grant which show that it was not a shabby era at all despite the austerity. My parents who were living in a beat -up old caravan on concrete blocks after WW2 due to the housing shortage after Dad came home from service as a soldier . still look so smart in their suits and sports jackets and tweeds and flannels (Mum in her dresses made on a sewing machine etc) No "old Money" there but they looked pretty tidy and not out of place at the racetrack with the posh types either.
Old money: just take some picture of your 30yo grandfathers on a Sunday/Christmas day, back in the 50s, observe how he was dressed, then try to dress in a way he wouldn’t feels embarrassed for you.
@@nahouledeb5949 the same for mine, a lemon warehouse keeper in Sicily back in the 50s. Classy for nowadays, normal for when people were much less rich. It tells you something about our generations, really…
Ironically, my father want me to wear some bright, skinny jeans or neon tshirts, because "that's how young people dress nowadays. And gods forbid i wear creased pants or high rise...
I personally think the the combination of trendy and old money is quite admirable too. as long as they keep the outfit minimalistic, the aesthetic still pops out thou its not exactly old money
What kind of socks should you wear with loafers? On these photos people tend to go no socks but in my opinion that's quite uncomfortable, especially when you go for a walk in the city. I tried noshow socks but stil you see a liitle bit of the sock? Do you guys have any recomendations?
Thanks for watching. I typically go for no show socks but I had to try a couple until I found some that were low enough to not be visible when wearing loafers. The ones I found were by s.Oliver
Your points are 10000% valid. I would say though maybe the old money style meaning has changed with the times. It's obviously taken inspiration on the concept. But I love the video, very honest! :)
Tbh, I prefer the balance between fake and real old money. On both sides there are "louder" design and other's that are more minimalist and well tailored. Although fake old money does seem to have more vices.
Love your vids, could honestly watch 20 mins+ hoping you’d make longer vids! Could you make a video about how to dress old money for spring and summer seasons! Since it’s usually polos, trousers and loafers, without going over the top with accessories right? So I’m confused here- Thanks!
Thank you, Sarin. I really appreciate that :) Thanks for the video suggestion :) I will put it on the list of videos. I think you pretty much nailed it, though. I would only add maybe some button down shirts and a light sports jacket.
Amazing video. I learned to dress more sophisticated about a year ago and really enjoy the minimalistic quiet luxury old money style but it doesn’t seem very authentic across social media most of the time. Too much going on, too much character-type acting, and too modern for my liking. In general I have no problem but like you mention specifically saying you’re “old money” and then wearing 3 chains and 3 bracelets just doesn’t make much sense to me.
My favorites were from piniparma and then the following look, seated with turtleneck and blazer. Very good video; unfortunately so many people today seem to think that Succession was the be all and end all of old money, when they were its antithesis. Now, do you have one for ladies?
Old money men’s jewellery - at most the following at any one time: expensive watch but not covered in diamonds. If married a yellow gold wedding band/ring. Plus a signet ring with an onyx type stone - not a flashy diamond. Potentially an onyx with a small diamond but not a diamond only signet ring. That is it. Less is more.
A new trend pops up and all of a sudden eeeverything gets lumped under the umbrella of the new label. How many times have we seen it? I can't wait for this one to pass and leave my style alone 😅
I don't think you have to wait much longer, Vasil 😂 Probably a few months and there's something new coming. It's still nice to see more young people try to dress up a bit more.
I agree with everything you said, especially with how open your shirt should be and how much jewelry a man should wear. I would have included Nantucket Red chinos. With respect to watches the Cartier tank is great as a dress watch but for a casual dressed I prefer a Santos de Cartier or a Rolex Submariner.
I am newmoney and I love to flaunt my wealth. From rags to riches I made it. I love hosting parties, I hire maids, gardeners, driver, secretary, guards, chef. I don't have a private plane and not thinking of buying one. I wear branded labels because I can afford it.
Super deep shirts and excessive jewelry seems like the polar opposite of ‘old money’: more like extremely gauche, new money. I think people tag posts with the old money hashtag, not because they truly believe their post exemplifies that aesthetic but because it’s trending to help draw attention to their posts. 🤷🏾♂️
Perhaps a point of clarification: you seem to be talking about old money people who live in urban areas. For old money people in rural areas, where I am from, the choice of clothes would be different, including things such as wool and tweed.
Meanwhile the actual old money people: T-shirt & Khaki pants with flip-flops or sport shoes, having breakfast at a local mom & pop restaurant every 6 in the morning. Seriously no one dress that nice casually, it gotta be a special occasion for people to put on blazers and dress pants. 😂
Hi, I would really appreciate it if you took your time to read this. I am seeking an elegant and timeless aesthetic and the closest to my taste is old money. The photos where they made mistakes, disregard it for now as it's not relevant. Let's talk about the garments "itself" and the outfits. They are the closest to the style I am seeking. Basically beige pleated trousers/ chinos paired with a linen shirt or oxford shirt and a pair of loafers (not the chunky ones). The photos without the mistakes, you happened to choose very formal wear which isn't what I want haha. What style would you call the photos with the mistakes? Old money is more about the history and generation and not about the aesthetic, however I don't want to that to be the case, I wanna dress timeless classy and elegant pieces without trying to look I am trying to fake an old money look like. Is there a name for it rather than old money or perhaps a way to modify the look and not look fake and stereotypical? When you look at female models from the past, their face is classic beauty and you can instantly tell they are from the 1980s-1990s rather than 2000s+. I want that classy vibe which gives off a timeless vibe that looks like it's from the 19th century but still looks good now as it's timeless. It's so hard to describe. I hope you understand where I am coming from
If you go to Lydia Tomlinson's channel, a fashion TH-camr, what style would you call it? I am a guy and wanna dress elegant and sophisticated with a old money colour palette aka all the neutrals, kinda like how Lydia Tomlinson is dressing
Thank you for your comment. I hope I didn't come across as too strict on the definitions. I would say it's a modern take on the old money style, or maybe quiet luxury. I would call her either minimal chic or elevated casual, but in the ends it's just definitions. Do you like the look of brands such as Pini Parma, Suit Supply or Grand Le Mar?
@@Lukas_Schanderl Thank you so much for your reply! I subscribed. I don't know any of the brands you named, when it comes to fashion and styling I am no amateur but I didn't really care about brands as long as the quality is decent. Do you think it's good to wear classic garments but have a bit of inspiration from old money but not trying to look like it. When you say modern take on old money do you think it would be more like old money inspired styles so classic timeless pieces with some old money vibes?
Yes, I like that your vids are a little more down-to-earth or whatever, especially considering that mostly we are just dealing with a lot of rebranding of looks that have been around for a while under different names or something. Decades?
Showing off your body (also applies for tattoos) is definitely not something old money would ever do. Also, there is a quote about accessories (applies to men, not so much to women): 'Your only golden thing, should be your wedding ring'. And even then, less is more. Don't over do it. But no matter how hard you try, you'll never fool real 'old money' people into thinking you're also old money. They can spot you from a mile away.
Social media trend acceleration has quickly morphed the old money aesthetic into the big flowing coats, pants and cropped shirt look. It stared in Japan but it’s everywhere now.
My father would’ve asked if I was robbed if I ever dared to wear a short sleeve shirt. 😅 The one and only true old money style brand is still „my tailor“. Where did you got this outfit from? - My tailor. 😉
@@Lukas_Schanderl its also because i work at the beach a lot, and i love the old money style but also want to keep it a bit beachy, but you wouldnt say this is an actual other style to research ? Its just another take on the old money ?
Thanks for watching, Johan :) I like high waisted, wide leg pants (at least wide to a certain degree). The ones I meant in the video are those that flare out and become wider only at the bottom of the trousers.
If you get old money style right, it should not be obvious whether you bought any particular wardrobe item yesterday, or ten years ago. A watch or piece of jewelry could be new, or it could be a decades old family heirloom, and it shouldn't be obvious which. Blend traditional menswear with some more modern items styles that are neither on trend nor passe, but instead sit somewhere near centre point around which trends revolve.
Excellent video. Personally, the Ivy Style is old money. Better yet, what a gentleman of action, not talk, wears. Go watch what the male actors wear in the recent film, The Leftovers.
The two boys at 7:22 can definitely be old money, not in a traditional sense but in the more Scandinavian sense. It even says "Stockholmstil" aka stockholm style. Altough you'll also find people in the upper middle class with these clothes. In Scandinavia the class differences is very minimal and not that big, especially in Norway (altough these two are swedes) But in this case i do think these boys are matching for fun and not really fully committing to the old money shtick anyway. Definitely not tryhards in my opinion.
I actually knew two old money families. One was behind a well known brand. None of the members were dressed like these Instagram posers. They all wore regular clothes and were virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the general public.
The deep unbutton is the "neo" aspect to the look which is the "trend" version of old money. Old money is heavy on classics and generally timeless in style as opposed to being a trendy style. If you're younger you can get away with the "neo" "trendy" version of old money, if you're older, stick to the classic, timeless version of the style.
To me most of the outfits you went over are NEW MONEY style or nouveau Riche. I see no vintage pieces either which is a huge thing for old money as many things are passed down.
Thank you for watching. Do you mean the outfits at the beginning or the examples at the end of the video? I agree, especially with the ivy or preppy look, vintage pieces make a big difference.
Old money is a term that means buying more high quality pieces as opposed to expensive pieces with giant logos like Gucci (new money). Just because a piece is newer doesn’t automatically make it not old money
As someone who would be considered old money (3rd generation). I think you have some basic directions. But the old money style is natural fabrics and natural colors. Everything is exclusive but not excessive. Leather band Cartier watches are normal. Gold/platinum jewelry is only maritial jewelry being worn. The rest of the jewelry is expensive costume and that's usually a brooch or lapel pin. I will take into consideration your age, and perhaps the fact that you're not clear on what old money actually is. By default, there's no such concept of wearing money. Therefore the old money aesthetic is to not look rich. I hope this helps.❤
:53 hard disagree, being too "show off" with your looks isn't a bad thing. The reality is though, that girls find this attractive. Coming from you as a guy, I can see why you might think that. It depends on the purpose of your style, style can be subjective. The term being used 'old money' can be also construed as a way to achieve a stylistic look, not always about what really represents "old money". Just my opinion, but dressing real old money is more in-tune with dressing for business casual which is a bit stuffy. Unless you want to look like a tech nerd and not someone with some style sense, there is nothing wrong with adjusting fits to be more attractive to the eye for the opposite sex.
Thank you for watching, Jack. To an extent, what old money is supposed to look like is also up to personal interpretation. I just think when it feels a bit too show off, it doesn't feel right to me (personal opinion). Nothing wrong with dressing in a way that women find attractive, but especially if you are over 30, I don't think it should look and feel too flashy (again, my opinion).
You are correct but need to say it more bluntly. Those photos you showed are mostly fakers. Old money is about comfort, practical approach, and timeless. However, one must possess the basic understanding why a person must dress that way. Good video 👍
I can't believe that this is a thing. Doesn't anyone want to just work hard for anything anymore. When I started my career on Wall Street 30 years ago. We didn't call the way we dressed old money. We call it going to work and being professional. These young people are the laziest and most fake, unintelligent generation I've ever seen. Thank you for the video. It was very entertaining..
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. The upside of the trend is that more young people try to dress up more, even though it can be a bit staged, as is the nature of social media.
Old money style doesn't mean Old man style, yes it shouldn't be overplayed especially talking about excessive jewelry, over sized clothes otherwise a young guy in his early age that comes from an old money family will definitely follow his generation fashion but he should do it tastefully and be aware of his body nature and never go to excess especially in hair style and tattoos .
Thanks for watching, Mahmoud. Good point. The look definitely evolves over time, but some things like the ones you mentioned (hair style, tattoos, jewelry) should remain classy.
7:58 He's the creative director of BEAMS (Japanese departement store). Can't help but notice that your examples for old money are "old people". The young dudes are just playing dress up. My take is you cannot pull off old money unless you really are old money.
Thanks for pointing that out. I love BEAMS but I had no idea that's the creative director. You're right. Maybve not even real old money but also just life experience that makes it more authentic.
lol i see so many people say they prefer to dress old money, new money, whatever but I know actual people who are old money because of aristocracy and to me, old money isn't so much how you dress but your personality and the way you behave.
➡Old Money vs. Quiet Luxury: th-cam.com/video/sfJg7euyh4w/w-d-xo.html
Finally, someone who knows what he's talking about. So many of these "old money" outfits are not truly old money. Great video.
Thank you, Sven. I apprecite that.
@@Lukas_Schanderlyeah we can call this a minimalist style but not old money more like new money😂

Many were demolished . Finally saved by becoming open to public visits etc and modernised . It is a complex story because Britain was bankrupted by the war. Regarding the fashion, British tailoring was a massive influence in the first half of the 20th Century and related to this class of people you describe the "old money" , You will see beautiful examples of it on actors like Basil Rathbone , Tyrone Power, David Niven, and many others , including Cary Grant which show that it was not a shabby era at all despite the austerity. My parents who were living in a beat -up old caravan on concrete blocks after WW2 due to the housing shortage after Dad came home from service as a soldier . still look so smart in their suits and sports jackets and tweeds and flannels (Mum in her dresses made on a sewing machine etc) No "old Money" there but they looked pretty tidy and not out of place at the racetrack with the posh types either.
Old money: just take some picture of your 30yo grandfathers on a Sunday/Christmas day, back in the 50s, observe how he was dressed, then try to dress in a way he wouldn’t feels embarrassed for you.
Great point, Gabriele :) Back when almost everyone dressed classy.
It worked with my French grandpa, despite being a little shopkeeper he was very classy back in the days !
@@nahouledeb5949 the same for mine, a lemon warehouse keeper in Sicily back in the 50s. Classy for nowadays, normal for when people were much less rich.
It tells you something about our generations, really…
Ironically, my father want me to wear some bright, skinny jeans or neon tshirts, because "that's how young people dress nowadays. And gods forbid i wear creased pants or high rise...
What a great vid! I liked all examples of a true old money style you showed in the end.
Thank you, Anton :)
Glad you liked it.
I personally think the the combination of trendy and old money is quite admirable too. as long as they keep the outfit minimalistic, the aesthetic still pops out thou its not exactly old money
Thank you, Michael.
I agree, it's definitely a lot better than sweatpants or super baggy clothes.
Just pointed out some differences in my opinion :)
I think there's some overlap (and confusion) between old money look, riviera look and quiet luxury.
I agree. There's definitely some overlap and some confusion
What kind of socks should you wear with loafers? On these photos people tend to go no socks but in my opinion that's quite uncomfortable, especially when you go for a walk in the city. I tried noshow socks but stil you see a liitle bit of the sock? Do you guys have any recomendations?
Thanks for watching.
I typically go for no show socks but I had to try a couple until I found some that were low enough to not be visible when wearing loafers.
The ones I found were by s.Oliver
Incredible video! Thank you
Thank you 🙏
Congrats Lukas, nice name by the way, I appreciate you taste and appreciation for natural elegance
Thank you, Luca 🙏 Likewise 👌
Need more of these videos where you talk about pintrest outfits. Thanks a lot for this awesome video!
Glad you liked it :) That's a good idea.
Any specific topic you would like me to cover in pinterest outfits?
Hey@@Lukas_Schanderl, I think this videos was a pretty good concept. Maybe a part 2 similar to this one?
Thank you :) Sure, that's a good idea.
What do you think about mock neck sweaters , I kind of prefer them over turtleneck sweaters. are they old money look ?
Thanks for watching, Victor.
I think they might not fit the traditional old money look, but they definitely look great, especially at a younger age.
@@Lukas_Schanderl I also like that mock neck sweaters don't scratch my neck beard like regular turtlenecks do
I love mock neck, it's the "proportional turtleneck" for those that have shorter necks.
Your points are 10000% valid. I would say though maybe the old money style meaning has changed with the times. It's obviously taken inspiration on the concept. But I love the video, very honest! :)
Thank you, Sean.
Great point.
It definitely evolves over time, I personally just prefer the more classic version of it.
Tbh, I prefer the balance between fake and real old money. On both sides there are "louder" design and other's that are more minimalist and well tailored. Although fake old money does seem to have more vices.
An old money casual look to me is very simple, nice trousers with a quarter zip and loafers and a nice watch
Great look for sure :) Quarter zips are fantastic.
Love your vids, could honestly watch 20 mins+ hoping you’d make longer vids!
Could you make a video about how to dress old money for spring and summer seasons! Since it’s usually polos, trousers and loafers, without going over the top with accessories right? So I’m confused here- Thanks!
Thank you, Sarin. I really appreciate that :)
Thanks for the video suggestion :) I will put it on the list of videos.
I think you pretty much nailed it, though.
I would only add maybe some button down shirts and a light sports jacket.
I have been looking for this kind of channels for weeks, finally a good one, nice job!
Thank you 🙏
definitely you nailed it
Thank you :)
Amazing video. I learned to dress more sophisticated about a year ago and really enjoy the minimalistic quiet luxury old money style but it doesn’t seem very authentic across social media most of the time. Too much going on, too much character-type acting, and too modern for my liking. In general I have no problem but like you mention specifically saying you’re “old money” and then wearing 3 chains and 3 bracelets just doesn’t make much sense to me.
I totally agree :) Thank you for your comment.
My favorites were from piniparma and then the following look, seated with turtleneck and blazer. Very good video; unfortunately so many people today seem to think that Succession was the be all and end all of old money, when they were its antithesis. Now, do you have one for ladies?
Thank you :) Glad you liked it.
I haven't considered making one for ladies but that could be interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.
This just earned you a new subscriber!! Well done!!
Thank you so much 🙏🙌
Same here
@@StefkeBoxingScience Thank you 🙏
Well done video, all of these were so spot on
Thank you, Zach 👌
Old money men’s jewellery - at most the following at any one time: expensive watch but not covered in diamonds. If married a yellow gold wedding band/ring. Plus a signet ring with an onyx type stone - not a flashy diamond. Potentially an onyx with a small diamond but not a diamond only signet ring. That is it. Less is more.
I fully agree. Thank you for watching and for your input :)
A new trend pops up and all of a sudden eeeverything gets lumped under the umbrella of the new label. How many times have we seen it?
I can't wait for this one to pass and leave my style alone 😅
I don't think you have to wait much longer, Vasil 😂
Probably a few months and there's something new coming.
It's still nice to see more young people try to dress up a bit more.
I agree with everything you said, especially with how open your shirt should be and how much jewelry a man should wear. I would have included Nantucket Red chinos. With respect to watches the Cartier tank is great as a dress watch but for a casual dressed I prefer a Santos de Cartier or a Rolex Submariner.
Thanks for watching, Walter.
The Santos is a beautiful watch as well :)
Great choices.
Exactly!!! We remark the same details...
Thank you, Yolaine 🙌
Great video but I can't do turtlenecks
Can you wear mocknecks?
Great video Lukas 👍🏼
Thank you, Per 🙌
Shoes without socks in the summer may be old money in Italy but not in England.
Good observation. There are definitely regional nuances.
Nice video to watch. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you, Antoine.
I am newmoney and I love to flaunt my wealth. From rags to riches I made it. I love hosting parties, I hire maids, gardeners, driver, secretary, guards, chef. I don't have a private plane and not thinking of buying one. I wear branded labels because I can afford it.
Super deep shirts and excessive jewelry seems like the polar opposite of ‘old money’: more like extremely gauche, new money. I think people tag posts with the old money hashtag, not because they truly believe their post exemplifies that aesthetic but because it’s trending to help draw attention to their posts. 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you, Ian. I totally agree with you.
Perhaps a point of clarification: you seem to be talking about old money people who live in urban areas. For old money people in rural areas, where I am from, the choice of clothes would be different, including things such as wool and tweed.
That's a good point :)
Great points. I’m saying few words so I’m not accused of trying too hard
Thanks for watching.
Haha no worries 😂 I hope I didn't come across as too judgemental in the video
7:10 is Stockholmstil, or Grisch. It is a style based on showing wealth but not over the top.
Thanks for sharing, Eric.
That's quite intersting.
I did not know that.
Meanwhile the actual old money people: T-shirt & Khaki pants with flip-flops or sport shoes, having breakfast at a local mom & pop restaurant every 6 in the morning.
Seriously no one dress that nice casually, it gotta be a special occasion for people to put on blazers and dress pants. 😂
Hi, I would really appreciate it if you took your time to read this.
I am seeking an elegant and timeless aesthetic and the closest to my taste is old money.
The photos where they made mistakes, disregard it for now as it's not relevant. Let's talk about the garments "itself" and the outfits. They are the closest to the style I am seeking. Basically beige pleated trousers/ chinos paired with a linen shirt or oxford shirt and a pair of loafers (not the chunky ones).
The photos without the mistakes, you happened to choose very formal wear which isn't what I want haha.
What style would you call the photos with the mistakes?
Old money is more about the history and generation and not about the aesthetic, however I don't want to that to be the case, I wanna dress timeless classy and elegant pieces without trying to look I am trying to fake an old money look like.
Is there a name for it rather than old money or perhaps a way to modify the look and not look fake and stereotypical?
When you look at female models from the past, their face is classic beauty and you can instantly tell they are from the 1980s-1990s rather than 2000s+. I want that classy vibe which gives off a timeless vibe that looks like it's from the 19th century but still looks good now as it's timeless. It's so hard to describe.
I hope you understand where I am coming from
If you go to Lydia Tomlinson's channel, a fashion TH-camr, what style would you call it? I am a guy and wanna dress elegant and sophisticated with a old money colour palette aka all the neutrals, kinda like how Lydia Tomlinson is dressing
Thank you for your comment.
I hope I didn't come across as too strict on the definitions.
I would say it's a modern take on the old money style, or maybe quiet luxury.
I would call her either minimal chic or elevated casual, but in the ends it's just definitions.
Do you like the look of brands such as Pini Parma, Suit Supply or Grand Le Mar?
@@Lukas_Schanderl Thank you so much for your reply! I subscribed.
I don't know any of the brands you named, when it comes to fashion and styling I am no amateur but I didn't really care about brands as long as the quality is decent.
Do you think it's good to wear classic garments but have a bit of inspiration from old money but not trying to look like it. When you say modern take on old money do you think it would be more like old money inspired styles so classic timeless pieces with some old money vibes?
I got you... Old money is to show off while pretending that you do not like to show off your richness.
Amazing video, finaly someone said it.
Thank you 🙌
Most of these examples are what I would call Resort Gigolo. The Young Husler Look.
Yes, I like that your vids are a little more down-to-earth or whatever, especially considering that mostly we are just dealing with a lot of rebranding of looks that have been around for a while under different names or something. Decades?
Here we're trying to make Preppy style enter the Disco Era by showing off our chest hair and medallions????? Ugh. No.
Old Money, I would hope or think, would mean BUY A TIE, not LOSE some buttons...................
I tink dese are guys tryna get a date or free clothes more than anyting else.
Twinsies! But cigars are gross, anyway.
I don't get as much use out of turtlenecks as I would like.
Showing off your body (also applies for tattoos) is definitely not something old money would ever do.
Also, there is a quote about accessories (applies to men, not so much to women):
'Your only golden thing, should be your wedding ring'.
And even then, less is more. Don't over do it. But no matter how hard you try, you'll never fool real 'old money' people into thinking you're also old money. They can spot you from a mile away.
Thanks for watching, Mike.
I fully agree with all your points.
Great observation
I think it lead towards more to new money kind of version. For boys to be exact. Not for men. But good examples to clarify
Thanks for watching, Lawrence.
You're right, it looks more like new money
need old money summer style guide 🤝🏻
Thanks for the suggestion 👌🙏
glaube dem ist nicht mehr hinzuzufügen! top video!
Danke dir 👌🙏
Social media trend acceleration has quickly morphed the old money aesthetic into the big flowing coats, pants and cropped shirt look. It stared in Japan but it’s everywhere now.
I 100% agree, Will.
Especially all the AI channels are making it worse :D
My father would’ve asked if I was robbed if I ever dared to wear a short sleeve shirt. 😅
The one and only true old money style brand is still „my tailor“. Where did you got this outfit from? - My tailor. 😉
Tbh the deep unbuttoned shirts is the reason that i got in to old money, so what style would you call this then ?
Thanks for watching.
If you like it, go for it. I'm just personally not the biggest fan of it but it can still fit in the overall aesthetic.
@@Lukas_Schanderl its also because i work at the beach a lot, and i love the old money style but also want to keep it a bit beachy, but you wouldnt say this is an actual other style to research ? Its just another take on the old money ?
Overall a good video but high waisted wide pants are definitely a must if you want to achieve the old money look :D
Thanks for watching, Johan :)
I like high waisted, wide leg pants (at least wide to a certain degree).
The ones I meant in the video are those that flare out and become wider only at the bottom of the trousers.
Dein English ist sehr gut.
Danke dir, Edmund 🙏
Good video! Greetings from germany
Thank you :)

If you get old money style right, it should not be obvious whether you bought any particular wardrobe item yesterday, or ten years ago. A watch or piece of jewelry could be new, or it could be a decades old family heirloom, and it shouldn't be obvious which. Blend traditional menswear with some more modern items styles that are neither on trend nor passe, but instead sit somewhere near centre point around which trends revolve.
Excellent video. Personally, the Ivy Style is old money. Better yet, what a gentleman of action, not talk, wears. Go watch what the male actors wear in the recent film, The Leftovers.
Thanks for the tip :) I'll make sure to check out the film.
Just looking at this guy and his mannerism literally speaks old money. You remind me of someone's brother in my family business.
Thank you :) I appreciate it.
I actually come from a middle class background.
The two boys at 7:22 can definitely be old money, not in a traditional sense but in the more Scandinavian sense. It even says "Stockholmstil" aka stockholm style. Altough you'll also find people in the upper middle class with these clothes. In Scandinavia the class differences is very minimal and not that big, especially in Norway (altough these two are swedes) But in this case i do think these boys are matching for fun and not really fully committing to the old money shtick anyway. Definitely not tryhards in my opinion.
Many many people wearing old money with bank accounts with no money at all
Social Media old money is actually old broke, LOL
Haha that's true :D
I actually knew two old money families. One was behind a well known brand. None of the members were dressed like these Instagram posers. They all wore regular clothes and were virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the general public.
Thanks for watching, John.
Great point.
Old money families are quite diverse, so the dress code will differ immensly.
The deep unbutton is the "neo" aspect to the look which is the "trend" version of old money. Old money is heavy on classics and generally timeless in style as opposed to being a trendy style. If you're younger you can get away with the "neo" "trendy" version of old money, if you're older, stick to the classic, timeless version of the style.
Damn he's right
Thank you 🙏
Wear what you want to wear and how you want to wear it , if it's makes you feel good do it ❤
To me most of the outfits you went over are NEW MONEY style or nouveau Riche.
I see no vintage pieces either which is a huge thing for old money as many things are passed down.
Thank you for watching.
Do you mean the outfits at the beginning or the examples at the end of the video?
I agree, especially with the ivy or preppy look, vintage pieces make a big difference.
Old money : smoking cigars with friends or family while drinking a
Good Scottish single malt whiskey in the afternoon. Springbank 21😊
This is not old money, this is no money 😂
Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you, Nagesh :)
They are more like italian beach style but not old money style
It almost seems like the social media, "old money", examples really mean "old world".
What is old money in the first place
not that what you see on insta
and pinterest
look at the british royal family
ich liebe es, wenn man auf einmal auf englischsprachige Deutsche trifft 😂 Der Akzent verbindet uns😂
😂😂 Den kriegt man nie ganz weg 😁

Old money is a term that means buying more high quality pieces as opposed to expensive pieces with giant logos like Gucci (new money). Just because a piece is newer doesn’t automatically make it not old money
I hate this "trend". People are always just pretending and it's sad. Just wear what you truly like and feel good in
ppl making themselves broke to look rich isn't new
That is what i like i dont like dressing how men are dressing today @Charlie092
When I saw this, this is what I call mean wear
As someone who would be considered old money (3rd generation). I think you have some basic directions. But the old money style is natural fabrics and natural colors. Everything is exclusive but not excessive. Leather band Cartier watches are normal. Gold/platinum jewelry is only maritial jewelry being worn. The rest of the jewelry is expensive costume and that's usually a brooch or lapel pin. I will take into consideration your age, and perhaps the fact that you're not clear on what old money actually is. By default, there's no such concept of wearing money. Therefore the old money aesthetic is to not look rich. I hope this helps.❤
Thank you for sharing your insight, Lola 👌
Appreciate it
You're neither old money, nor you're a queen. I hope this helps.
Moinsen, dein Chanel sagt mir direkt zu😅🫡
Danke dir :) Beste Grüße
:53 hard disagree, being too "show off" with your looks isn't a bad thing. The reality is though, that girls find this attractive. Coming from you as a guy, I can see why you might think that. It depends on the purpose of your style, style can be subjective. The term being used 'old money' can be also construed as a way to achieve a stylistic look, not always about what really represents "old money".
Just my opinion, but dressing real old money is more in-tune with dressing for business casual which is a bit stuffy. Unless you want to look like a tech nerd and not someone with some style sense, there is nothing wrong with adjusting fits to be more attractive to the eye for the opposite sex.
Thank you for watching, Jack.
To an extent, what old money is supposed to look like is also up to personal interpretation.
I just think when it feels a bit too show off, it doesn't feel right to me (personal opinion).
Nothing wrong with dressing in a way that women find attractive, but especially if you are over 30, I don't think it should look and feel too flashy (again, my opinion).
Tattoos will never be old money
Many people on tiktok mistalked old money they think it's not classy and also elegant they're just mad at me I think🤣
😂😂
Thanks for watching :)
You are correct but need to say it more bluntly. Those photos you showed are mostly fakers. Old money is about comfort, practical approach, and timeless. However, one must possess the basic understanding why a person must dress that way. Good video 👍
Great point. Thanks for watching :)
I can't believe that this is a thing. Doesn't anyone want to just work hard for anything anymore. When I started my career on Wall Street 30 years ago. We didn't call the way we dressed old money. We call it going to work and being professional. These young people are the laziest and most fake, unintelligent generation I've ever seen.
Thank you for the video. It was very entertaining..
Thanks for watching.
Glad you liked it.
The upside of the trend is that more young people try to dress up more, even though it can be a bit staged, as is the nature of social media.
Old money style doesn't mean Old man style, yes it shouldn't be overplayed especially talking about excessive jewelry, over sized clothes otherwise a young guy in his early age that comes from an old money family will definitely follow his generation fashion but he should do it tastefully and be aware of his body nature and never go to excess especially in hair style and tattoos .
Thanks for watching, Mahmoud.
Good point. The look definitely evolves over time, but some things like the ones you mentioned (hair style, tattoos, jewelry) should remain classy.
Plus, over sized or relaxed fit is also not ‘old money’ look.
I agree. Especially if the clothes are very over-sized.
7:58 He's the creative director of BEAMS (Japanese departement store). Can't help but notice that your examples for old money are "old people". The young dudes are just playing dress up. My take is you cannot pull off old money unless you really are old money.
Thanks for pointing that out. I love BEAMS but I had no idea that's the creative director.
You're right. Maybve not even real old money but also just life experience that makes it more authentic.
This is better than that
final touch 😅
lol i see so many people say they prefer to dress old money, new money, whatever but I know actual people who are old money because of aristocracy and to me, old money isn't so much how you dress but your personality and the way you behave.
Tats and jewelry - signs you likely aren’t actually wealthy. Just a watch boys. Just a watch.
Great points 👌Thanks for watching
This is like street wear pretending to be old money
*What is Being called old money has already attained by by uncle in 90s in India*
Well dressed uncle 👌
