the ‘old money’ aesthetic

The rise of the old money aesthetic in today's culture originates in escapism. It was the daydreaming of spending your quarantine in a mansion, a villa with an inbuilt gym, getting to pretend it's simply an extra long spa retreat instead of spending it in your single-room studio apartment, in the shittiest part of the city.

Of course, it's a lot older than most people think. It was a time when schools were for the white, rich males. It was the old-money-verses-new-money struggle, it was the fine line between the generational, old money (think the Bridgertons) and the gaudy, over-the-top, attempting to fit in new money (think the Featheringtons). The style has progressed over the decades, an almost secret-language between the elite of today's society. It's the right number of buttons on your shirt, it's the amount of fade on your trousers. Being this level of rich gives the classy, almost careless style among the rich today.

The Bridgertons and Featheringtons, as mentioned above, describe this divide between the old and new money. The Bridgertons are in the muted blue, the elegant and distinct class, while the Featheringtons must prove their place in society, showing off with gaudy clothing and have a slightly desperate sense in their clothing, asking people to pay attention to them.

Being of new money is considered almost cheap, an irony in itself. We've all seen the Kardashians, and almost all of us hate them, for a multitude of reasons. Some may hate them for what they've done, some of might hate them on first glance simply because of how Featherington they seem. Most of us, however, hate them for what they represent. The Kardashians are almost everything wrong with new money today, like flying a private jet to save 20 minutes, or posting about extravagant parties when people are losing jobs. It's people like them that cause us to hate the new money, and gravitate towards the old, even if we might resent the old all the more. While it may be because we're jealous, the old money have always had racist undertones, traditionalist values and a rather rigid social hierarchy.

Perhaps you've seen the tiktok about west coast rich vs east coast rich. The west coast is logomania, flashy, extravagant. It's all about a designer sports car and the latest model of iPhone. The east coast is about wealth, its the casual class, the, 'tell me you're rich without telling me you're rich' trend without the gaudy, over-the-top displays of wealth.

The old money aesthetic is (from what I've seen) button-down shirts, tennis skirts, sweater vests, cardigans, polo shirts, pearls, headbands and loafers, all in shades of off-white, beige, cream and white, with hints, of black, brown, grey and navy. You'll see sailboats, private yachts, country clubs, vintage cars, dinner parties, lush (not lavish) gardens, floral wallpaper and mansions, but of the classier variety. It's about studying at places like Oxford (a dream of my own), Cambridge, Ivy-league schools, with the Legacy application instead of the normal one. Picture Blair Waldorf, Evelyn Hugo, The Inheritance Games. While Evelyn and Avery aren't old money, their vibe certainly is.

Some of the middle-class often fake this 'classier-than-thou' lifestyle with similar clothing, which to the untrained eye seems like the real deal. However, after a period of time, it is clear in certain mannerisms that they weren't born into the seemingly picturesque lifestyle, rather they are pale imitations. Perhaps it's in the overly-rigid manner of clothing, or the unconfident manner, but it is easy to differentiate between the aspiring preppy students, and the ready-made. Their is a nonchalant carelessness in the ready-made, while the aspiring aren't completely aware of every rule in this unofficial handbook.

While it is undoubtedly a stunning aesthetic, it's roots are some of the reason it is slightly taboo. In older times, to have this old money flair, you had to be white, Anglo-Saxon protestant. The conservative mannerisms are definitely not something you'd want to casually show off in today's society. They are given an almost fast pass to the higher-level universities, primarily due to the generations of their family having attended a certain place. Think about Paris, or Rory from Gilmore Girls, both who had generations of their family attend Harvard or Yale respectively. It's unfair on the average Joe who wishes to attend the school all the same.

You may have the heard the audio 'Brown is an ivy league school' and the response 'Everyone knows the real Ivy's are the Holy Trinity: Harvard, Yale and Princeton'. It's another distinction between New, and Old. In Gossip Girl, while the show is a near-masterpiece, most of the characters are old money (adding to the aesthetic), but you can understand from there the very clear vibe of the old money. The Inheritance Games, with the country-club, wealthy-not-rich outlook, that the Hawthorne's also have a very distinct old money vibe.

So, in conclusion, when Gen Z talk about old money, they don't mean in the 'racial-oppression, better than thou' manner, they mean the 'tennis skirt and reading Ovid in an elite school'. Dark Academia, overlooking its criticisms (which at the present I haven't fully understood, so a deeper dive is to come), makes the elite aesthetic more accessible. As Ana Quiring argued, "You don't need the Ivy League to read Ovid. In fact, reading the Metamorphoses with your online friends might be better, more joyful, than reading it at a top-notch school." In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the top- notch school, aside from the bias to alumni's children, but it's definitely better to make this wonderful culture more widely available. The old money aesthetic is beautiful, after we put aside it's critiques.
