100%, typical Americans completely missing the point 😂 always making everything about money and turning everything into a consumerist opportunity. By definition it’s impossible to fake it till you make it, you’re either born into it or you’re not. People imitating it can be easily spotted a MILE away lmao, there’s a 100 other things involved that are more important than just the way you dress. Tbh dressing to appear ‘expensive’ is the more obviously cheap thing to do, ironically.
@@astrid-3 true, no offense but rich people just have this certain aura that even if they dress plainly, it just never goes away because they were raised that way.
The people I know with old money, you’d never guess it. They wear clean, conservative clothing they mend and keep forever, do their own chores, travel like middle class. They do not bring attention to themselves. Under the radar. Always. And they never mention money or bills. Ever.
The people I know with old money yes, look understated when they travel as not to catch attention and don't talk about money, but they absolutely don't mend their clothes or have never done any chores. Even as exchange students in foreign countries (I was in Paris and Oxford), they would hire cleaners for their student's apartments and eat at restaurants daily so they wouldn't have to wash a plate.
@@andreacigala2709 It depends on the level of money. Money can be old without there being an enormous amount of it (relatively speaking). You can have generations losing quite a bit of money before someone competent with money (or at least frugal) comes along in the family line. The wealth might also get split up between siblings further decreasing it. And while it is a meme for out-of-touch rich people to talk to poor people like the poor people are too stupid to know how to use money, there is truth when they say rich people mostly prioritize investment over material goods and services. Someone who doesn't work and lives comfortably without doing so (and always will be if expenses are kept minimal) but not enormously rich is who I imagine the OP is talking about when it comes to doing their own chores.
@@andreacigala2709Bcz they are students. They have not learned to cook by themselves yet. With time they learn everything. When I came to London to study I never used public transport before. Did not know how to navigate on the tube. I thought the stop button on the bus was for emergency or something, bcz I saw the bus was stopping at every stop. Onetime I was trying to get out at one stop and the bus didnt stop, that's how I learned you need to push the stop button. It's not about flashing money, its mostly that its difficult to shift from one type of living to another quickly as a student.
@@andreacigala2709again, these are American or Asian old money. Most English old money family, young people I know are quite humble, shop in charity shop, never talk money, are very active and they do everything themselves.
Ikr?! Heavy makeup, fuller lips, and symmetrical noses maybe the contrast between tiktok's old money portrayal and what old money actually is. Idk maybe I'm missing the difference cause I ain't got no money
One reason for this difference is that old money does not feel like they have to "show off" their wealth. It's quality materials over fancy (often gaudy) details, Old money also grew up spending time with activities like horse riding, golf, other upper class sports, for which they preferred clothes that are practical rather than chic.
The real wealthy prefer NOT to look obviously wealthy is called conspicuous consumption the working rich and the desperate WANT to look rich so they wear labels.
While you're correct, old money is subtle, but that subtle nature is glaringly obvious that they're wealthy. Old Volvos, Oxford shirts, skiing, sailing, may not be flashy like diamonds but it's obvious like a pile of money.
My mom is no longer with me but I remember she'd tell me that when she was young, people would often assume she came from a wealthy family. Anything she wore, she made it look utterly expensive. From shades, dresses, hats, coats etc... Her clothes were simply either hand made or from the thrift store. Lol
You can find so many nice quality clothes at thrift stores now or secondhand online, I'm finding much higher quality clothes than most things at the mall.
It depends how you style and match up. Not everyone has that skill. I’ve been told my dresses/tops are unique and “always beautiful” since I was like 16. And I am middle class person.
Im sorry to hear that about your mom. May her soul rest in peace. Stay strong and keep healing. And yes some people have a certain class or style idk that whatever they wear looks pretty ❤
Old money = values , genetics , duty, manners, education, wealth, discreet status games New money = lack of values, love of money and materialism, overt status games.
@@yournightmare7197 because thats not old money. old money is like the hiltons and the Rockefellers. people who are rich for generations and generations to come.
"Old money" literally means that the family has been rich for a long time but that their wealth came from generations ago. Before fast fashion, people who were 'old money' wouldn't wear brand new or flashy garments. Instead opting for clean and classic. 'new money' is more what you see today, flashy popular brands and items, and spending a lot on things. Old money is more investing in good, timeless attire while new money is what's popular. Hope this cleared up confusion for some people.
This is a perfect explanation, it should have more upvotes. The two might even shop from the same shops, but new money will want others to know, using the items like status symbols. In my experience, wealthy people are still concerned with getting good value for their money at every opportunity. Otherwise, they would go broke in a few years like retired sports players. They'd rather spend their cash on investments or travel, and buy 90% of their clothes at normal stores on sale. When they splurge, it's usually on timeless pieces that don't look flashy/trendy.
@@Discordia5 True, the definition of new money and old money is basically how long the wealth has been in their family. Old money tend to have class due to upbringing and reputation. Some new money may also try to have that class. Not all are attention seekers. The attitude here is class and it is not necessarily because they are from old money. Even a middle class or working family can have class. My mom for instance likes flashy clothing as she is a self made professional who escaped poverty through hard work. I myself prefer simple clothing and timeless looks as much as possible. One can see this difference more with well to do middle class and the working class. The well to do often focus on education when acquiring wealth while the working class can barely afford that so many focus on looking more affluent than they are. Trying to look expensive is not really bad, it's an expected preference when you have limited opportunities.
Spot on. But it’s not just “wealth”, it’s about power and influence within their respective community. Their last name is part of their brand. Their wealth is typically a byproduct of the “brand loyalty” their peers endear to them. They wouldn’t apply to Harvard, the university would reach out to their family years prior to establishing an “understanding” with the family. For example, “The Rockefellers” great great grandchildren are afforded opportunities for higher education, position, and political power that wouldn’t be afforded to someone of similar wealth.. who doesn’t brandish the last name. The old money aesthetic is simple and plain because they’ll never have to prove anything. They’ll pair $60 khakis with a $150 merino wool sweater… and a $75,000 bracelet from their family jeweler, slim, and completely unbranded. Only other “old money” individuals would recognize it’s value. It would be completely unrecognizable to a “commoner”. Stealth Wealth is apart of their lifestyle.
@@notanotherone5564 btw, may I know did you ever meet an old rich? Because your perception is completely wrong. Old rich have their own clothing line and tailor made clothes that's why you can't see logos in it. They paid millions for their clothes, jewelries, and even custom made shoes only for them. Other major brands they don't invest are considered rivals so they don't wear them. NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE SIMPLE. How can you say their plane? Have you been to their exclusive party? Cause they party anytime they want and you will be suprised to see how they spend. 😂 Old riches are not CEO's like Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and other famous billionare, these old riches aren't busy as you think, they are usually in the golf course and travelling. They are low key investors and stockholders so they could have fun without working. They funded apple, elon musk's, etc major companies. You know why they are low key? Because their endless wealth was earned in a horrible way. They are usually from the long line of royal officials and politician (corruption), colonialism officers, capitalist & monopolization, land grabbers, drug/slavery syndicates, mining and resources exploitation, war and depression exploitation. Think about it, how could their great great grandpa could earned endless wealth in the past? I'll leave it to you mydear. Now if you know that's how your granpa earned the clan's wealth. Do you think it's okay to flaunt your wealth on social media? So that is why new money are confident cause they earned it themselves.
The look and lifestyle of “Old Money” is actually much more about class, poise and value in everything you do, rather than net worth. I know several families who come from “old money” and have many things like property and heirlooms handed down to them but they themselves work regular jobs and aren’t all that ‘rich’. But they truly value the things they have and take care of them, pass them on and have so much class, etiquette and sophistication. I also know plenty of wealthy people who are, for lack of a better word, trashy, vulgar, tacky and ostentatious. I think real wealth is how you utilise what you have, how you value yourself as well as others and conduct yourself. There are many ‘poor’ people with mountains more class and sophistication than obscenely rich people.
In the U.K growing up, whenever I've met people who come from old money, they have this relaxed and chill air about them. They dress casually but for some reason as soon as you see them, you can instantly tell. It's the way that they talk aswell that gives it away.
Basically, old money is to dress in classic and timeless aesthetic, whereas new money is to dress in a more trendy and social media rich idea way. Old money ppl are used to it and they have a reputation to maintain. They can dress like new money ppl too but they tend to prefer the classic and timeless fashion, especially for important events. Vice versa. That was what I was told. It's not this or that but more of which one do you adhere to the most. Issa tendency, not a fixed rule. Every family have their own rules, preferences, and tradition. Edit: Some people in the replies have understandibly misunderstood my comment. My comment is referring to the old money vs the new money aesthetic but I didn't include the word "aesthetic" nor "fashion" to clarify it, hence the confusion. Thank you for those who have provided a proper definition to what old money and new money mean and thank you to those who clarified what I was actually referring to. My apologies for the misunderstanding.
that’s really not the definition of old and new money though. old money is wealth that’s been passed down throughout multiple generations and will most likely never leave the family. new money is wealth that may have been just acquired in the current generation or the one previous. those terms really have nothing to do with the way you dress or act in my opinion.
@@ni-kitten and it does have to do with the way you dress. Think of the preppy style. It comes from “old money.” You also see this difference in gossip girl
this is all about class meaning classy but actual class too. + actual knowledge, education, traveling, being humble, kind, interested in different things. Just my addition here what I’ve learned
Old money = values , genetics , duty, manners, education, wealth, discreet status games New money = lack of values, love of money and materialism, overt status games.
Anyone who puts rich people in different categories of lifestyle based on how long those riches have been running in that family knows nothing about rich people. Rich people do what they want and some may keep traditions, old or new to the lifestyle, the inverse is also true. Because idiots hate being wrong I must edit this. People who have had money for longer will of course have had an access to great education their whole life and they will have grown in a certain way with some manners but the bottom line is their legacy doesn’t define their life style, they may stick to tradition or they may not, they are rich, they do what they wish.
I’m from south Florida, old money here dresses in flip flops , boating attire and hangs at your local dumpy bar lol they might be wearing a 100k watch though
Lol that’s so true….my husband is a waterfowl hunting guide (he takes clients on goose and duck hunts) and for many years he had a family that he guided for. He also often went on offshore fishing trips with them. After their fishing trips, my husband would often hang out at the marina and dock bars with them, but based on their clothes, you would never know how much money they had. Another funny story about them….we live in Maryland, so it gets pretty cold here in the winters. Once my husband and I went to the father’s house outside of Ocean City Maryland. He had these huge palm trees surrounding his pool. Dozens of them, and very tall and mature as well. I asked him “how do you keep your palm trees alive year round in our climate?” He laughed and said “I don’t! I just buy new ones every year.” I’ll never forget that. That’s when I realized just how wealthy he was. But some of the most fun, down to earth people I have ever met. Lots of great memories with them!
The video is about European old money. Americans are classless people, no matter how much money they have. And I didn't say this to offend anyone from USA, I love the USA and the way everything is there but that's the reality.
I come from a old money family I just wear whatever I want hoodie/ sweats/ skirt/ dress etc but I have to say one thing, I don't really care what people think how I dress nor do I care about showing off the newest trendiest shoes/ bag etc. I rather have clothes that is good quality instead of buying multiple clothes that is not as long-lasting and I do not like logos around clothes as it kind of look trashy in my opinion. A shirt can be from the same high quality brand as a shirt that has logo plastered all around but I generally prefer without logo/ small logo instead of having it everywhere
As an Englishwoman who comes from old money, here’s my essay: (I live with the side that currently isn’t rich, but my dad side very much is) it looks similar but it’s also very different. It’s the things like having silver knives and forks instead of stainless steel ones (they’ve been passed down, why would we buy new ones), it’s the massive portraits of my ancestors in my stair well (they’re worthless if we sold them because no one would buy a very average portrait of someone not in their family, and massive silver candle sticks and wine holders which have also been passed down. (And not me personally:..) It’s huge houses and money troubles and social climbing, having one house in the Home Counties and another in Kensington and Chelsea in London, it’s random worthless titles and large dinners, its having au pairs raise the kids and be closer to the children than their own parents, it’s white blonde woman who all have the same plastic surgeon, it’s long drinks parties where you have the same stilted conversation 17 times with different people, its asking anyone with the same accent as you ‘what school did you go to” and expecting to know the name of where they say, since there’s a few main private schools, same with where do you ski (there’s a few resorts everybody goes to), it’s gillets and schoffels, linen shirts and chinos, shooting, hunting, getting blooded, sailing, skiing, wine snobbery, and very rarely the brand which new wealthy people love. Not many people wear anything branded like Gucci or Versace as it’s viewed as very tacky. It’s insane. I don’t live in it most of the time, (Since I live in my mother’s side) but when I visit that world it’s mad. (Edit: ppl seem to be getting a bit confused in the replies but thank you sm for all the nice comments too. But *99.9% of the time I live with my mum and I work a minimum wage job as a waitress and I only see the other side of my family/their lifestyle a few intense week(s) a year.* So no, me and my family I live with are not super rich, it’s just parts of my family I associate with (I have never lived with my wealthy father) just to clarify, bc I needed to after some of the replies 😭💀 no, I don’t live like this (I am not Elon musk), but I know many who do via family - okay thanks for coming 🫣 I literally cannot afford new shoes rn guys lmao)
@@AliKhan-ct7bv I would certainly say it’s less “name brands” like Burberry, Balenciaga, and gaudy things with labels. It’s much more reserved things that aren’t covered in logos in the vein of Charles T, obscure designers, and the white company but idk but bc I buy my clothes from H&M and shein ngl. The only exception I’ve seen is that lots of Ppl have Louis Vuitton bags for travel
Right , I notice ppl with money are easy to spot. It’s not flashy. It’s not doing the most with flashy-ness. It’s a polished clean look with minimal accessories. Your clothes should be of great quality like a silk shirt that last. And your clothes should look like they come from the cleaners. It’s luxurious in a way but really simple.
that's my experience too. the flashy extravagant outfits from tiktok are so not old-money. truly rich people wear basics, but expensive basics and they always look put-together, like basically...a person who has money to afford the best
@@luna1r mhmm, the flashy outfits are usually what new money wear and do. Like Gucci and Verace is seen as tacky, but that’s the stuff new might buy. Old money generally don’t get those sorta branded stuff with the logos all over it, cause once again, tacky. It’s funny when people portray old money as new money since old money is very European, most rich people in the USA are considered new money. Of course there’s exceptions, but those exceptions aren’t the rule yknow?
Love the real old money aesthetic. It’s so simple. The less makeup and styley hair you do, the better. Simple Clothing of excellent quality. Growing up in Connecticut this is how many ppl dressed and it comes pretty natural to me. And I’m definitely NOT from old money! 😂😂
Old money = values , genetics , duty, manners, education, wealth, discreet status games New money = lack of values, love of money and materialism, overt status games. People from New England that are surrounded by the best private schools in the country are descendants of old money culture even if their family is middle class. You can see the same in Florida. Puerto Rico South America Pockets of people who are middle class descendants of old money and have generations of siblings that all went to the best private schools because even though they aren’t loaded with money their middle class families spent every dime to ensure the lineage was preserved in that aspect.
Well obviously , the history of white people in the US doesn’t go back much further than the 1700s when they all migrated 😂 Historically, most white Americans today can trace their family back to their poor ancestors who immigrated from Europe out of desperation - the absolute opposite end of the scale to what they’re now calling ‘old money’. Kinda funny and very classic American how they think being generationally rich is an ‘aesthetic’ you can achieve. If you think it’s a clothing trend you can learn and adopt, you’ve already missed the point completely 🤦♀️ you can’t acquire all the necessary components, or learn all the traits, if you weren’t raised with it. You either are or you aren’t, end of story
The richest ppl i know who inherited their shit from older generations are often spotted wearing flipflops and baggy sweats on a good shopping day. I Went to different private schools w kids with big names in asia and they were def trying to keep a low profile but u will know they're important asf from all the entourage and body guards standing frm a far with tinted cars ready to pick them up in slippers and sweats at the corner of the resto haha. As a kid it never rly sank in to me who they were until my parents told me abt how the teachers always make a fuzz abt them and overly mention their surnames
Yesss I know this kid from my school. His parents are very famous in Korea (I won’t mention their names) and all he wears is Nike sweats and t shirts he gets dress coded soooo much 😂😅😂
I swear all the kids in my school are super rich and their parents or ancestors are famous. Not class but I mean the entire school. Including me. But this one kid in my class I nick named him Sammy the salmon cuz he's his name sounds like Sammy lol he's mom is from Singapore and his dad has connections with the Prime minister of my country and his great grandmother or grandmother's friend is a famous writer named Begum Sofia Kamal who was known for protesting for woman or something I have no idea tbh but but he is literally the most annoyinest kid in the entire world. Like he's literally going attack random kids at any time. He breaks in line and noen of the teachers yell at him cuz of his status. But no matter how rich and famous and well known he is around the school ( everyone knows him literally everyone in the school) he has mud all over him lmao.
As I see it’s a new generation of rich people like Mask or some crypto/app-creator-investor .. old money exactly in Korea so much classy and traditional in everything. Especially in Korea, you know why, if you are living there 😉 but same in America. As example Gossip Girl, of course, it’s just series, but all their style based on reality.
they generally wouldn’t wear flip flops and baggy sweats in europe (wannabes for this style are going for more of a european aesthetic, not rich american) rich europeans, they dress nice and put together, but not tacky designer stuff or things that look like a movie character (the first pics made me cringe).
Old money dresses how they want or how they were taught to dress. New money dresses in what is trending or what they think looks similar to old money. Definitely a difference let’s just be honest.
For I know "old money " is a legacy and richness of ones family that uphold their reputation that even their great great grandchildren can still live the life of someone who can still afford middle class lifestyle without doing anything
Me as a customer service rep for a bank, answering calls to elderly women and men complaining about .03 cents missing from one or two money market accounts. Then when you pull up their info on the screen you see they have 15 to 30 acts with anywhere of $5 million-$20 million in each savings. Now that’s old money.
I mean they could have made their money during their lifetime, so it could also be new money. Just because someone has a lot of money, it does not necessarily mean they have had it for generations.
The “old money” people where I live in Southern California typically have had generational wealth and they wear Birkenstocks and do sports like snow boarding and kayaking 😂
Old money in the uk tends to buy clothes that will last them. Think the same white linen shirt for 5+ years. Less fast fashion, more key pieces that they can dress up/dress down. So I imagine it’s the same in the states?
old money in my country rarely show off their wealth and prefer to mind their own business so i guess it's hard to know what they really look like, while it's so easy to spot on new money bc no matter how much money they have, most of them don't have good fashion taste. they just gonna wear something with high class brand logo on it.
“old money” doesn’t mean rich people who are old now or rich people from the 70s-90s or whatever old money means someone who is rich because of their parents or grandparents or because of their family😭😭
Basically they don’t care about trends and dresses comfortably. They value the quality and the craftsmanship put into their clothes, and sometimes they like to dress uniquely (if they care about fashion at all). But aside from clothes what really distinguish them is their demeanor, I have friend who are insanely rich and I never knew that about them until our friendship goes deeper and they trusted me. They are the most open-minded, calm, zen people who doesn’t really worry too much and just basically do what they want to do and never forgetting to be kind, polite, and respectful to all kinds of people. Unfortunately, for me I don’t have that excessive money and when I ran out, I go into spiral of anxiety which makes me irritable and sometimes rude to people
Old money is about any outfit that can hop on a horse in a jiffy, and in which you can spend all day going stalking (and you’re not old money if you don’t know what that term means). I can’t tell you how blown away I’ve been by the people in the riding circles. They seem perfectly normal, but nothing short of aristocracy.
I can't imagine what it must be like to be born into an extremely wealthy family. You have to create your own drive to make money, even though you'd be set for life if you didn't work. They have to find a purpose in life that's higher than simply "being successful," but find things in life that give it meaning beyond the material aspect.
my experience: old money have nothing to flaunt. theyll have nice homes and stuff but not over the top. classy new money tenda to get carried away and goes ostentatious
Uhh, the thing is, that's the difference between rich and wealthy. Perhaps their "OG rich" was building all that and then pass on to their descendants, which the descendants wont know (or at least wont feel) a difference in their lifestyle cuz they're born that way, so they neednt to show it
old money don't spend time perusing tiktok for things to wear, they have personal shopper, or at the very least, some boutiques would send them curated collections to pick from. also they really can't stand being in a crowd with "common people" so they have their own circles to hang out with, and this also influence the way they dress.
Reading the comments on this is a joy, all the shared personal experiences and discussions regarding flexibility vs tradition. A wealth of information.
Actually real rich people don’t put that much effort into how they dress because they don’t need to prove to anyone they’re richer, because they know they are. People who want to appear wealthy dress like this.
Old money doesn't shout out its presence. It's usually subtle. The cut of the clothes and the material are always high quality. The over-stylized obvious examples from Tik Tok look like someone trying to dress up like a Gossip Girl character for Halloween.
I don't know about old money or new money but I love to dress classy and elegance not to show off the branded clothings. after some searches I figured that my styles were actually old money which is from 80's to 90's to up till now its trending
tiktok old money: 50s inspired fashion and pastel colors old money from this video: straightforward, textured, subtle, occasionally layered clothes with desaturated colors
my side of the family is what people called "Old Money". You don't spot anyone wear a big brand like Gucci, LV or something who got a very big brand names tattoo-ing their things, except a few like Birkin bag who's good for investment. i went to school with many people that come from this generational wealth, and we received the same amount of education, but different enviroment and different 'tips' inside the family about how to maintain this wealth and how to be a clpse-knitted family, and how to respect other people regardless of whatever you have. All of us (at least people i associate with most of the school time) didn't even said any bad words, or cursed or did something shameless and we are always polite wherever you go, whoever you meet abd whenever it is. and most of us go to Uni after High School. very rarely to not continue to pursuing our education. Education is a must, at least in my family it is.
I mean style variety exist in many groups of people. People can dress extravagantly or moderately, some flashy, some are reserved. The style above average across more as yuppie preppy sort of aesthetic.

Most important Aesthetic and Good Physique.
And a lot of white?
Old money = values , genetics , duty, manners, education, wealth, discreet status games
New money = lack of values, love of money and materialism, overt status games.
Half of those are literal picture from Victoria’s Secret catalog in the 90’s😹😹
loll
And?
@@yournightmare7197 because thats not old money. old money is like the hiltons and the Rockefellers. people who are rich for generations and generations to come.
@@genshinF2Play it’s just how they named the aesthetic
@remi nii That’s called tiktok syndrome
"Old money" literally means that the family has been rich for a long time but that their wealth came from generations ago. Before fast fashion, people who were 'old money' wouldn't wear brand new or flashy garments. Instead opting for clean and classic. 'new money' is more what you see today, flashy popular brands and items, and spending a lot on things.
Old money is more investing in good, timeless attire while new money is what's popular.
Hope this cleared up confusion for some people.
This is a perfect explanation, it should have more upvotes. The two might even shop from the same shops, but new money will want others to know, using the items like status symbols. In my experience, wealthy people are still concerned with getting good value for their money at every opportunity. Otherwise, they would go broke in a few years like retired sports players. They'd rather spend their cash on investments or travel, and buy 90% of their clothes at normal stores on sale. When they splurge, it's usually on timeless pieces that don't look flashy/trendy.
@@Discordia5 True, the definition of new money and old money is basically how long the wealth has been in their family. Old money tend to have class due to upbringing and reputation. Some new money may also try to have that class. Not all are attention seekers. The attitude here is class and it is not necessarily because they are from old money. Even a middle class or working family can have class. My mom for instance likes flashy clothing as she is a self made professional who escaped poverty through hard work. I myself prefer simple clothing and timeless looks as much as possible. One can see this difference more with well to do middle class and the working class. The well to do often focus on education when acquiring wealth while the working class can barely afford that so many focus on looking more affluent than they are. Trying to look expensive is not really bad, it's an expected preference when you have limited opportunities.
Not “literally”
Spot on. But it’s not just “wealth”, it’s about power and influence within their respective community. Their last name is part of their brand. Their wealth is typically a byproduct of the “brand loyalty” their peers endear to them. They wouldn’t apply to Harvard, the university would reach out to their family years prior to establishing an “understanding” with the family.
For example, “The Rockefellers” great great grandchildren are afforded opportunities for higher education, position, and political power that wouldn’t be afforded to someone of similar wealth.. who doesn’t brandish the last name.
The old money aesthetic is simple and plain because they’ll never have to prove anything. They’ll pair $60 khakis with a $150 merino wool sweater… and a $75,000 bracelet from their family jeweler, slim, and completely unbranded. Only other “old money” individuals would recognize it’s value. It would be completely unrecognizable to a “commoner”.
Stealth Wealth is apart of their lifestyle.
@@notanotherone5564 btw, may I know did you ever meet an old rich? Because your perception is completely wrong. Old rich have their own clothing line and tailor made clothes that's why you can't see logos in it. They paid millions for their clothes, jewelries, and even custom made shoes only for them. Other major brands they don't invest are considered rivals so they don't wear them. NOT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE SIMPLE. How can you say their plane? Have you been to their exclusive party? Cause they party anytime they want and you will be suprised to see how they spend. 😂 Old riches are not CEO's like Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and other famous billionare, these old riches aren't busy as you think, they are usually in the golf course and travelling. They are low key investors and stockholders so they could have fun without working. They funded apple, elon musk's, etc major companies. You know why they are low key? Because their endless wealth was earned in a horrible way. They are usually from the long line of royal officials and politician (corruption), colonialism officers, capitalist & monopolization, land grabbers, drug/slavery syndicates, mining and resources exploitation, war and depression exploitation. Think about it, how could their great great grandpa could earned endless wealth in the past? I'll leave it to you mydear. Now if you know that's how your granpa earned the clan's wealth. Do you think it's okay to flaunt your wealth on social media? So that is why new money are confident cause they earned it themselves.
The look and lifestyle of “Old Money” is actually much more about class, poise and value in everything you do, rather than net worth. I know several families who come from “old money” and have many things like property and heirlooms handed down to them but they themselves work regular jobs and aren’t all that ‘rich’. But they truly value the things they have and take care of them, pass them on and have so much class, etiquette and sophistication. I also know plenty of wealthy people who are, for lack of a better word, trashy, vulgar, tacky and ostentatious. I think real wealth is how you utilise what you have, how you value yourself as well as others and conduct yourself. There are many ‘poor’ people with mountains more class and sophistication than obscenely rich people.
In the U.K growing up, whenever I've met people who come from old money, they have this relaxed and chill air about them. They dress casually but for some reason as soon as you see them, you can instantly tell. It's the way that they talk aswell that gives it away.
Like serial kyllerssss chill
Basically, old money is to dress in classic and timeless aesthetic, whereas new money is to dress in a more trendy and social media rich idea way. Old money ppl are used to it and they have a reputation to maintain. They can dress like new money ppl too but they tend to prefer the classic and timeless fashion, especially for important events. Vice versa. That was what I was told. It's not this or that but more of which one do you adhere to the most. Issa tendency, not a fixed rule. Every family have their own rules, preferences, and tradition.
Edit: Some people in the replies have understandibly misunderstood my comment. My comment is referring to the old money vs the new money aesthetic but I didn't include the word "aesthetic" nor "fashion" to clarify it, hence the confusion. Thank you for those who have provided a proper definition to what old money and new money mean and thank you to those who clarified what I was actually referring to. My apologies for the misunderstanding.
that’s really not the definition of old and new money though. old money is wealth that’s been passed down throughout multiple generations and will most likely never leave the family. new money is wealth that may have been just acquired in the current generation or the one previous. those terms really have nothing to do with the way you dress or act in my opinion.
Than kyou
..nah.
I think the top one is right
@@ni-kitten they never said that was the definition. She only talked about how they dressed
@@ni-kitten and it does have to do with the way you dress. Think of the preppy style. It comes from “old money.” You also see this difference in gossip girl

@@cherishsam2954 LMAOO
this is all about class
meaning classy but actual class too.
+ actual knowledge, education, traveling, being humble, kind, interested in different things.
Just my addition here what I’ve learned
I agree. Definitely being interested in things and having an open mind that never stops learning.
Old money = values , genetics , duty, manners, education, wealth, discreet status games
New money = lack of values, love of money and materialism, overt status games.
Basically how some people dressed in the 80s with money or without.
Anyone who puts rich people in different categories of lifestyle based on how long those riches have been running in that family knows nothing about rich people. Rich people do what they want and some may keep traditions, old or new to the lifestyle, the inverse is also true.
Because idiots hate being wrong I must edit this. People who have had money for longer will of course have had an access to great education their whole life and they will have grown in a certain way with some manners but the bottom line is their legacy doesn’t define their life style, they may stick to tradition or they may not, they are rich, they do what they wish.
it's because of the aristocracy from Europe. But yes. they do whatever they want
I interpret "old money" as in money in an older age. Like the 80s and 90s
@@faithtrout1181 You interpret it wrong
completely true
Old money comes with education. New money does not. You'll see old money in families of Harvard/Yale legacy.
I’m from south Florida, old money here dresses in flip flops , boating attire and hangs at your local dumpy bar lol they might be wearing a 100k watch though
Lol that’s so true….my husband is a waterfowl hunting guide (he takes clients on goose and duck hunts) and for many years he had a family that he guided for. He also often went on offshore fishing trips with them. After their fishing trips, my husband would often hang out at the marina and dock bars with them, but based on their clothes, you would never know how much money they had. Another funny story about them….we live in Maryland, so it gets pretty cold here in the winters. Once my husband and I went to the father’s house outside of Ocean City Maryland. He had these huge palm trees surrounding his pool. Dozens of them, and very tall and mature as well. I asked him “how do you keep your palm trees alive year round in our climate?” He laughed and said “I don’t! I just buy new ones every year.” I’ll never forget that. That’s when I realized just how wealthy he was. But some of the most fun, down to earth people I have ever met. Lots of great memories with them!
@@nickineuwiller9809 can i ask what is the father’s profession, the one with the palm tree story

@@hilo_milo16count me in! 😂
I come from a old money family I just wear whatever I want hoodie/ sweats/ skirt/ dress etc but I have to say one thing, I don't really care what people think how I dress nor do I care about showing off the newest trendiest shoes/ bag etc. I rather have clothes that is good quality instead of buying multiple clothes that is not as long-lasting and I do not like logos around clothes as it kind of look trashy in my opinion. A shirt can be from the same high quality brand as a shirt that has logo plastered all around but I generally prefer without logo/ small logo instead of having it everywhere
As an Englishwoman who comes from old money, here’s my essay:
(I live with the side that currently isn’t rich, but my dad side very much is) it looks similar but it’s also very different. It’s the things like having silver knives and forks instead of stainless steel ones (they’ve been passed down, why would we buy new ones), it’s the massive portraits of my ancestors in my stair well (they’re worthless if we sold them because no one would buy a very average portrait of someone not in their family, and massive silver candle sticks and wine holders which have also been passed down.
(And not me personally:..) It’s huge houses and money troubles and social climbing, having one house in the Home Counties and another in Kensington and Chelsea in London, it’s random worthless titles and large dinners, its having au pairs raise the kids and be closer to the children than their own parents, it’s white blonde woman who all have the same plastic surgeon, it’s long drinks parties where you have the same stilted conversation 17 times with different people, its asking anyone with the same accent as you ‘what school did you go to” and expecting to know the name of where they say, since there’s a few main private schools, same with where do you ski (there’s a few resorts everybody goes to), it’s gillets and schoffels, linen shirts and chinos, shooting, hunting, getting blooded, sailing, skiing, wine snobbery, and very rarely the brand which new wealthy people love. Not many people wear anything branded like Gucci or Versace as it’s viewed as very tacky.
It’s insane. I don’t live in it most of the time, (Since I live in my mother’s side) but when I visit that world it’s mad.
(Edit: ppl seem to be getting a bit confused in the replies but thank you sm for all the nice comments too. But *99.9% of the time I live with my mum and I work a minimum wage job as a waitress and I only see the other side of my family/their lifestyle a few intense week(s) a year.* So no, me and my family I live with are not super rich, it’s just parts of my family I associate with (I have never lived with my wealthy father) just to clarify, bc I needed to after some of the replies 😭💀 no, I don’t live like this (I am not Elon musk), but I know many who do via family - okay thanks for coming 🫣 I literally cannot afford new shoes rn guys lmao)

@@AliKhan-ct7bv I would certainly say it’s less “name brands” like Burberry, Balenciaga, and gaudy things with labels. It’s much more reserved things that aren’t covered in logos in the vein of Charles T, obscure designers, and the white company but idk but bc I buy my clothes from H&M and shein ngl. The only exception I’ve seen is that lots of Ppl have Louis Vuitton bags for travel
Right , I notice ppl with money are easy to spot. It’s not flashy. It’s not doing the most with flashy-ness. It’s a polished clean look with minimal accessories. Your clothes should be of great quality like a silk shirt that last. And your clothes should look like they come from the cleaners. It’s luxurious in a way but really simple.
that's my experience too. the flashy extravagant outfits from tiktok are so not old-money. truly rich people wear basics, but expensive basics and they always look put-together, like basically...a person who has money to afford the best
@@luna1r mhmm, the flashy outfits are usually what new money wear and do.
Like Gucci and Verace is seen as tacky, but that’s the stuff new might buy.
Old money generally don’t get those sorta branded stuff with the logos all over it, cause once again, tacky.
It’s funny when people portray old money as new money since old money is very European, most rich people in the USA are considered new money.
Of course there’s exceptions, but those exceptions aren’t the rule yknow?
yess polished and every piece compliments the other :3
IT SHOULD NOT BE FROM SHEIN LETS START THERE 😂
You have said it all 😴👌
Money is money. Self made is better than generational wealth. Let people enjoy life in stead of finding new ways of discrimination.
Love the real old money aesthetic. It’s so simple. The less makeup and styley hair you do, the better. Simple
Clothing of excellent quality. Growing up in Connecticut this is how many ppl dressed and it comes pretty natural to me. And I’m definitely NOT from old money! 😂😂
Lol, it doesn’t look like it comes natural to you, do you think you actually look like these women? 😂
Old money = values , genetics , duty, manners, education, wealth, discreet status games

People from New England that are surrounded by the best private schools in the country are descendants of old money culture even if their family is middle class.
You can see the same in Florida.
Puerto Rico
South America
Pockets of people who are middle class
descendants of old money and have generations of siblings that all went to the best private schools because even though they aren’t loaded with money their middle class families spent every dime to ensure the lineage was preserved in that aspect.
I grew up in the south and didn't come from old money either but there were just some things you knew meant quality
Tik tok doesn't know because the essence of "old money" is European
Ah yes the essence of slave and child labor and stolen lands
Well obviously , the history of white people in the US doesn’t go back much further than the 1700s when they all migrated 😂 Historically, most white Americans today can trace their family back to their poor ancestors who immigrated from Europe out of desperation - the absolute opposite end of the scale to what they’re now calling ‘old money’. Kinda funny and very classic American how they think being generationally rich is an ‘aesthetic’ you can achieve. If you think it’s a clothing trend you can learn and adopt, you’ve already missed the point completely 🤦♀️ you can’t acquire all the necessary components, or learn all the traits, if you weren’t raised with it. You either are or you aren’t, end of story

The richest ppl i know who inherited their shit from older generations are often spotted wearing flipflops and baggy sweats on a good shopping day. I Went to different private schools w kids with big names in asia and they were def trying to keep a low profile but u will know they're important asf from all the entourage and body guards standing frm a far with tinted cars ready to pick them up in slippers and sweats at the corner of the resto haha. As a kid it never rly sank in to me who they were until my parents told me abt how the teachers always make a fuzz abt them and overly mention their surnames
Yesss I know this kid from my school. His parents are very famous in Korea (I won’t mention their names) and all he wears is Nike sweats and t shirts he gets dress coded soooo much 😂😅😂
I swear all the kids in my school are super rich and their parents or ancestors are famous. Not class but I mean the entire school. Including me. But this one kid in my class I nick named him Sammy the salmon cuz he's his name sounds like Sammy lol he's mom is from Singapore and his dad has connections with the Prime minister of my country and his great grandmother or grandmother's friend is a famous writer named Begum Sofia Kamal who was known for protesting for woman or something I have no idea tbh but but he is literally the most annoyinest kid in the entire world. Like he's literally going attack random kids at any time. He breaks in line and noen of the teachers yell at him cuz of his status. But no matter how rich and famous and well known he is around the school ( everyone knows him literally everyone in the school) he has mud all over him lmao.
As I see it’s a new generation of rich people like Mask or some crypto/app-creator-investor .. old money exactly in Korea so much classy and traditional in everything. Especially in Korea, you know why, if you are living there 😉 but same in America. As example Gossip Girl, of course, it’s just series, but all their style based on reality.
they generally wouldn’t wear flip flops and baggy sweats in europe (wannabes for this style are going for more of a european aesthetic, not rich american)
rich europeans, they dress nice and put together, but not tacky designer stuff or things that look like a movie character (the first pics made me cringe).

Old money dresses how they want or how they were taught to dress. New money dresses in what is trending or what they think looks similar to old money. Definitely a difference let’s just be honest.
Facts. It’s obvious from a mile away, people just need to stop trying so hard, it’s embarrassing and tacky.
yeah apparently no one ever had to read the great gatsby in school so theyve never heard of the idea that old money thinks new money is tacky
@@vlad5042exactly, old money is based of etiquette that new money won't have that's why in the book the new money is described as less fashionable.
Leo Tolstoy said, "Change nothing in your style of living even if you become ten times richer."

For I know "old money " is a legacy and richness of ones family that uphold their reputation that even their great great grandchildren can still live the life of someone who can still afford middle class lifestyle without doing anything
Old money is where the horses are 🤣
I like how old money is so much less heavy on the makeup and styling but still has the same effect
Me as a customer service rep for a bank, answering calls to elderly women and men complaining about .03 cents missing from one or two money market accounts. Then when you pull up their info on the screen you see they have 15 to 30 acts with anywhere of $5 million-$20 million in each savings. Now that’s old money.
Do you happen to know what is their business about? Or what is their profession
I mean they could have made their money during their lifetime, so it could also be new money. Just because someone has a lot of money, it does not necessarily mean they have had it for generations.

Old money in the uk tends to buy clothes that will last them. Think the same white linen shirt for 5+ years. Less fast fashion, more key pieces that they can dress up/dress down.
So I imagine it’s the same in the states?
Yes; so they can pass wealth onto future generations.
Americans are crazy so who knows. They blow money on clothes but generally speaking they do buy good pieces and wear them forever
I think a clear example for "old money" or "generational wealth" is how the Royals of Britain or any other Royals dress. So subtle yet chic.
When old money dresses down, they still maintain the classical look that looks awesome.

old money people dress like shit tbh
what i've been looking for! like how do these old money people dress themselves during present time? give us the teaaa
Basically they don’t care about trends and dresses comfortably. They value the quality and the craftsmanship put into their clothes, and sometimes they like to dress uniquely (if they care about fashion at all). But aside from clothes what really distinguish them is their demeanor, I have friend who are insanely rich and I never knew that about them until our friendship goes deeper and they trusted me. They are the most open-minded, calm, zen people who doesn’t really worry too much and just basically do what they want to do and never forgetting to be kind, polite, and respectful to all kinds of people. Unfortunately, for me I don’t have that excessive money and when I ran out, I go into spiral of anxiety which makes me irritable and sometimes rude to people
a nice neat polo in a good soft color can really go a long way with this aesthetic.

Old money is about any outfit that can hop on a horse in a jiffy, and in which you can spend all day going stalking (and you’re not old money if you don’t know what that term means). I can’t tell you how blown away I’ve been by the people in the riding circles. They seem perfectly normal, but nothing short of aristocracy.

I can't imagine what it must be like to be born into an extremely wealthy family. You have to create your own drive to make money, even though you'd be set for life if you didn't work. They have to find a purpose in life that's higher than simply "being successful," but find things in life that give it meaning beyond the material aspect.

old money don't spend time perusing tiktok for things to wear, they have personal shopper, or at the very least, some boutiques would send them curated collections to pick from. also they really can't stand being in a crowd with "common people" so they have their own circles to hang out with, and this also influence the way they dress.

Old money appears as an elegant and classy aesthetic whereas new money seems greatly absorbed by the influence of the internet and all the “new toys.”
Reading the comments on this is a joy, all the shared personal experiences and discussions regarding flexibility vs tradition. A wealth of information.
Actually real rich people don’t put that much effort into how they dress because they don’t need to prove to anyone they’re richer, because they know they are. People who want to appear wealthy dress like this.
Old money has his own classic way
As a hoarder of Vintage clothing.... I agree 1000000 % ❤️❤️❤️
Very true! Finer lines and softer colours - less bold pieces this is more accurate of class.
Old money doesn't shout out its presence. It's usually subtle. The cut of the clothes and the material are always high quality. The over-stylized obvious examples from Tik Tok look like someone trying to dress up like a Gossip Girl character for Halloween.
I don't know about old money or new money but I love to dress classy and elegance not to show off the branded clothings. after some searches I figured that my styles were actually old money which is from 80's to 90's to up till now its trending

i went to school with many people that come from this generational wealth, and we received the same amount of education, but different enviroment and different 'tips' inside the family about how to maintain this wealth and how to be a clpse-knitted family, and how to respect other people regardless of whatever you have. All of us (at least people i associate with most of the school time) didn't even said any bad words, or cursed or did something shameless and we are always polite wherever you go, whoever you meet abd whenever it is. and most of us go to Uni after High School. very rarely to not continue to pursuing our education. Education is a must, at least in my family it is.

I love old money outfits so much!!
Finding a true love is the real wealth….
I mean style variety exist in many groups of people. People can dress extravagantly or moderately, some flashy, some are reserved. The style above average across more as yuppie preppy sort of aesthetic.
People always renaming stuff 😂. This is just classic style.
Lol. So true, and lots of people dressed that way regardless of income
That's not true Felicia just because you don't know something doesn't mean you get to change the meaning.
@@Leviathan762-zh4lq who’s Felicia?
@@jesslivinlife any ret&rded black woman
@@Leviathan762-zh4lq ohhh so your Mom got it! I was so confused at first who Felicia was thanks for educating me. You must be 10 years old with E.D. already that’s why you hide behind an avatar and make weak comments and music on TH-cam.
I love old money movies like the ones from Rosamunde PIlcher!
