Pulling off the old-money look is all about subtle elegance, timeless style, and effortless refinement.
In this guide, we explore the key pieces that define this classic aesthetic. Think tailored blazers, crisp button-down shirts, luxurious cashmere knits, perfectly cut trousers, and elegant loafers or brogues.
Accessories are kept minimal yet refined – leather belts, understated watches, and silk pocket squares add the finishing touches. To achieve this look, prioritise quality over quantity, steer clear of logos, and embrace a “less is more” philosophy in both fashion and lifestyle.
