My mother sewed, she shopped the Goodwill and she watched out for bargains. We had little money, I had few clothes, but I remember being the best dressed wherever I went. I love quality clothing.
Amen and yes ma'am! My mom and grandma's sewed and taught us girls to sew. I love making outfits. And as you say,buy thrift store itemsy and remaking them. I always had new clothes to wear to school. I'm 67 and to this day I'll still shop the thrift store And you can find some great items there. I've gotten designer shoes, clothes and purses them. Got a Gucci (real one) practically new for $2.49 ❤ Macy's had the same identical purse for $1000. The strap is broken on it now but I still have it. Maybe I can take it to a shoe repair shop and they can repair it. 😊
Until you bring home an entity. A few decades ago, when I had zippo money, an acquaintance and her friend brought me a bunch of donated 2nd-hand jeans to try and pick my own. This one pair I couldn't remove them fast enough. I blurted out: "the person who wore them before was ev*l!" Back in the pile, they got mixed up as I tried others. Unbeknownst to me, I tried them again and I said the same thing. You should have seen the face of the 2 friends: they talked amongst each other as to who had given them: she really wasn't a good person, they said, and they looked at me wondering how I knew: I sensed it in my energy field! I since seen people interviewed on TV who brought entities with objects from a 2nd hand place. There used to be a thrift store walking distance from where I stayed, it had the nicest items and for real cheap! So I'm not snubbing pre-owned items nor putting you down, just sharing my past experience. That was long ago, but today I would never wear someone else's used clothes because of all that.
@@carmenhealer4635 quality clothing is where it’s at and lasts decades and never goes out of style. Good for you and sounds like you had a level headed mom that taught you the same.

I love the cut of RL on their shirts- Have some “ dresses” that I can wear a simple Jed shoes with- coastal/ hanging out on the boat look- RL is my favorite brand along with Chico- Not rich, but if I’m going to work hard- I rather buy 1 or 2 outfits of their brand than a couple of pieces that wear out by the end of the season
You go girl! I mean miss lady😂😂😂. You probably stun the room when you walk in. We'll done. My grandmother was 100 and recently passed away, but she always dressed impeccably
I think there is a tasteful way to wear bold colors and patterns. That's where the natural fibers, the correct fit and the quality accessories come into play. As for me, I am probably the whitest American woman you will ever see and I get the most compliments when wearing bright colors like red, sunflower yellow and leafy green. I've had African immigrant neighbors who wear their traditional clothes and the bright colors and bold prints fill me with joy . Plus they approve my use of bright colors more than other people do.
You missed the repeated part “ old money” … Africa was always known to be poor…..associated style will reflect as such….also, that doesn’t make it bad either… they’re just different aspects of fashion and couture culture
People can have lovely personalities and the kindest on earth but when you see someone tattooed up it totally takes away from sophistication and elegance. Some brides suddenly cover up their tattoos on their arms for their wedding day. Why? I think because suddenly they feel unattractive, and tattoos are unattractive no matter what they look like. Male or female in my opinion. Sophistication and elegance are my game. ❤
My dad always told me about old money versus new and said old money is always understated and not flashy or gauche. He also told me to leave something to the imagination. Therefore, I try to dress modestly with taste.
Yes, I remember my Dad pointing out some relative's gold chains & jewelry, commenting that their insecurity about status was obvious from their visible need to show their "prosperity".
You don't need a lot of money to look good and you don't need 'old money' whatever that is. I buy most of my clothing second hand off ebay and I stick to classic labels like Burberry, Jaegar, Givenchy, Dior and so on. Classic fashion never goes out of style and it doesn't cost a fortune either.
Agreed...and, for the record, "old money" is an outdated term snobs use (or used to use), to make themselves feel better about inheriting money rather than earning it.....
@@ali-jean People do use it in a snobby way, really often. But it's also used as a way to distinguish between the cultural characteristics of people who come from the "old guard" or "landed gentry"-type families, and who have a very exclusive social set, that only other old money people can be in...and people who made their money and don't come from those places. For example, the whole book the great gatsby is about how jay gatsby can't break through into the "old money" social stratus and marry Daisy, the woman with whom he's obsessed.
I mostly shop in 2nd hand charity stores. And I get compliments All the time. "Where did you buy that?" I'm proud to Tell them. "You won't find another one ' Second hand shops are the best places to be an individual and get quality and Labels for a lot Less.
Tailoring is going to be my watch word I have gone from a size 26 to an 18 on carnivore. I have 60 more pounds to go and being able to now choose clothes rather than settling for what fits means that being tailored will make it all look better. I love the tips to help me build a well put together look I can be proud of. Thank you,
Congratulations. I’m proud if your success. I love tailored simple clothing. Never a fan of trendy clothes. I’m short and curvy. So trendy clothes look ridiculous on me. I was on carnivore and was losing weight and feeling good. But with the last several months and a few surprise surgeries, money is tight and carnivore is more expensive. Hoping to get started back soon and have a successful story like yours! All the best. ❤❤
Build a tier of tailors... the very best for evening wear. A mid level for hard to change pieces (for when you cannot avoid a side zipper), and then a lower level for things that dont need much adjusting, or aren't very difficult
I'm not an old money person by any means, I go for classic timeless pieces that can last me a good couple of years or as we say here "battle horses". I work with people, I am the face of my job so even if I'm dead beat tired or feeling lazy, I must look all put together and neat. I'm picky with colours because not all of them fit my skin tone and undertone well. I do use the colour palette you suggested but with a few changes: I wear a darker and cooler shade than the classic beige, dark green and red. Whenever my spirits are low, I wear red and it's like an instant boost up.
Of course real money does not care and wears whatever they want. Plenty of women wear big statement pieces with plain clothes but the real confidence comes from wearing what you want and owning it. This and having impeccable manners😊
No, that's not true. Their peers are constantly judging them. The need to conform is very strong. You want to be seen as "above" certain things. "Old money" does not mean confident. Those are two different things.
While it's true OLD money wears what they want to. What she's saying is that OLD money WANTS to wear well made classics made of natural fabric that stand the test of time. She's talking about generational wealth, like the Kennedys or royal. Although the young do have a tendency to dabble in trends, albeit expensive trends. Those in the fashion industry industry might also sway to bolder pieces also.
My mom used to say Classic attire never fades because it’s not a trend or a fad. If you wear jewelry, make sure you don’t overdo it. The whole point is understatement in fashion is better. And my mom was told she looked very regal.
Its good for this temporary earth.Rather focus on Eternal things.Where will your soul go when you no more here? Nobody is promised tomorrow.Do you know Jesus Christ?He is coming soon,
I've always dressed like this, but not because I am trying to look like anything. I just appreciate quality fabrics, and my style is kind of boring and timeless. The bonus is that I still have a lot of clothing from 20+ years ago that I still wear. I absolutely love cashmere, so I buy 1 or 2 pieces every year or 2 on black friday. Quality clothing just feels better and fits better. Of course, every so often I will buy something trendy, but I won't spend much money on it because I know I'm only going to wear it a few times.
Same here.... My daughters all agreed while looking through a family photo album that they couldn't tell the decade I was in by my dress. I wore the same style decade after decade starting in high school
I do agree. I am not rich, but I love quality and classic style and I am happy with that. I have no need for drawing attention, I wear my clothes for my pleasure. ❤
If you buy whatever that make you fell happy then it's extremely Harmful for the environment . Polyester dresses are extremely unhealthy for this environment. This is reality. Polyester fabric are made with plastic . So people need to think about buying dress not just a small happiness. Disrespecting the environment is not a very happy thing for this world.
This video isn’t saying “this is what everyone should wear”…. It’s a video for those who want to dress elegantly- and there are things to avoid if you’re wanting to dress elegantly. There’s nothing wrong with learning elegance
You nail it! Synthetics are the death of style (and of the environment,too). I admit that I sometimes wear them but not as throw-away items but in classical and well-fitting pieces to last several seasons.
Bless your heart for not understanding that most of the world can only afford synthetics. You talk about the death of fashion when many people, even those with jobs, can't afford their bills!. Your world sounds like a nice place to visit
@@bellareid3488 I'm an European of rather low income and I can even afford cashmere sweaters. Of course I must look for bargains, and have to make smart choices and treat them well so I can wear them a long time. My oldest one is from 1996 and still alive and kicking😄
On a minor note: my father got a car from a dealer and they put the dealer logo on the car. He said "take it off unless you are going to pay me for advertising for you". I was just a kid but I remember that and to this day, I despise "logo" clothing.
I have always followed these basic rules as my mom taught me from early on that "classics" and "tailored" looks were the best, and that buying "for the long run" was the best and smartest thing to do. She was from the NE, and despite my being a "California girl" from birth, I wasn't allowed to buy so many "fad" items that my girlfriends had in middle- and high-school, other than for some casual clothes. Drove me crazy that I couldn't have "the latest and greatest" in shoes and clothing styles, but in retrospect, I'm glad that I had "my own" sense of style. Mom's lessons have followed me all through life, and I was able to adapt no matter where I lived, be it in NYC, across The Pond, or visiting cousins in the Deep South. I never felt "out of place". Nor did I ever feel self-conscious at special events I've had to attend over the years. I find that having a "classic" wardrobe is even more important when one works in a male-dominated field, like Wall Street, when I often found myself being the only woman around a table of well-dressed men.
I pair my Walmart finds with Chico's or Ann Taylor and accessories from thrift stores. Sometimes wearing all Walmart and no one knows. The secret is confidence in your look and attitude. As an 81yo Latina, my wardrobe is classically timeless with items from 20 years ago.
Loved the suggestions. I have been studying classic outfits for a while now and I know it's time to revamp my wardrobe. However, here in Ahmedabad, it's pretty difficult to find such quality clothing. Everything around me is in line with some sort of trend. But one piece a time, wherever I find it, will have to do for now. I loved the colours you showed - tan, beige, white, black and I would suggest browns too; especially the darker shaed go beautifully with white and beige. And also, finding a good tailor is key to the entire wardrobe. Hard to find these days.
You forgot to mention No tattoos No piercings in nose, lip etc other than the ear (1 or 2 max) The nails !!!! No extremely long pointed nails as belonging to a witch !!! Short nails, maybe a few mm long with neutral colors and no prints or stuff glued onto them !
i love my long Pointy witch nails. In Nude. it's so nice to scare people away in puplic with them. because it Shows you do not have to Do the mundane Tasks . 😈😏
No tattoos is a rule I wouldn’t be caught dead following. For me I like to think of it as a symbol of strength, endurance, and resilience because apparently they are painful.
I love quality, but have little money for clothes. My first tip is to save up for things rather than repeatedly buy something that will 'do' for now. I have great luck (and a lot of fun!) shopping estate sales, vintage shops, and thrift stores--and no one knows how little I paid unless I choose to tell them! 😊 Just the other day, I got several compliments on my tall leather boots which are not only on their 5th year for me but supremely comfortable, and cost me $12 US at a local charity shop! I have an assortment of colorful silk scarves that were $1 each; I'm still learning 1,000 ways to wear them, thanks to videos online 😊
It is always better to buy quality because it is going to last longer than having to replace items all the time because they were poorly made. Of course when menopause hits, you have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe thanks to weight gain.😜
I don't care what anyone says, I like prints and bright colors...and I get compliments... clothes should suit your personality (I'm not "boring")...Yet, I don't wear tight or tasteless clothing...
I agree. Originality is key. Older women, even with tattoos (like them or not) are still making a statement of what they believe in, and that's the most important.
I do not agree about bright colours. A lot of rich stylish women love bright colours. Black and navy blue are reserved for funerals, lighter colours such as white, blue and pearl grey are appropriate for work, but for holidays and special occasions bright colours are considered appropriate.
@@angelasims2759 I think you got that wrong. Particularly in the UK, you can never can cross class barriers. Even the current Princess of Wales knows that.
When I hear the word "brand", I think of cattle getting branded and that's basically what they're doing -- showing their logo shows you belong to them.
Since I was little, clothes have always been my toys. That's how I play. Wanting to come across as "old money" or "classic", or "chic", is making others the center of our attention... It's making sure we come across to them in a certain way (or don't). I am French, and was raised with classic, flawless style. Booooring! Like is too short. Enjoy yourself. Play! 😊
@MadamoftheCatHouse I do too. Even as a French person.... The perfectly cut pair of jeans, the white button down, the impeccable classic blazer, the scarf and the sensible classic loafers. Blahhhhhh
So exactly true… But “ old money woman attire “ can be somewhat “ BORING “, there is a difference in LOUD clothing attire and SUTLE TASTEFUL attire… For that tasteful classy look always go for a SUTLE ( If you are not sure what “ SUTLE “ means in fashion )… LOOK IT UP 💫. Class never goes out of style… Check out the movies from 1900- 2000. 1940 particularly, Those ladies ( and men ), really knew how to dress. On stage, off stage, everyday life, and the hugh majority was not wealthy . Good article, quite a few individuals really needed this ! Great job 👏😌👏
Agree in theory about natural fabrics, but wool and cashmere have to be carefully stored in cedar cabinets or closets so it doesn't get moth-eaten. Both woolens and linen fabrics often require dry-cleaning. Dry cleaning can get expensive and it's an environmental hazard. I continue to hope that more blended fabrics - cotton, hemp, bamboo, and linen - will trickle down to the mid-priced retailers, but so far, not much joy in that respect. I have certainly seen wealthy women wearing chunky jewelry, but it's paired with clothing that makes it work well and looks very sophisticated. Being well-mannered and having good social skills goes a long way even if you can't afford to dress upscale or struggle with getting a tailored look.
This style is definitely my preference - the emphasis is on the woman rather than what she is wearing. Staying away from fast fashion is also important for humanitarian and environmental reasons. Unfortunately, my body size has changed so much over the years that I can no longer wear any of the timeless pieces I have purchased over and over in multiple sizes. 😔. Having a timeless wardrobe really only works if you don’t have changes like my double-mastectomy, or fluctuating weight.
Outside labels were invented as a segment for the population who can’t afford couture. When you are wearing labels on the outside, you are screaming that you’re too poor to afford the higher end couture version. Nothing screams mid like a walking billboard for a design designer.
I love these tips. But I do love loud colors and prints. I love turquoise jewelry. I hate logo clothing. But I did love that little alligator on my chest in the eighties.
Denise, frankly, you sound like you're too good for these silly tips. You know what you like and you wear it. You don't care about conforming, you like to have fun and do what makes you happy. And you can still buy the alligator shirts! They're from the French brand Lacoste, and they're made from cotton, which is a great natural fabric not mentioned by this snobby narrator.
The best style for you is what makes you happy, comfortable and confident. Plenty of wealth doyens of style wear prints colours and chunky jewels. Key is quality in harmony
What does that alligator do for you? What are you trying to tell others... that we got suckered into 1980's over the top consumerism... that made shoppers poor & textile conglomerates wealthy. [Now we know better: If you have stock in the company instead of wearing the logo, you can be in a better place)
I tend to wear clothes without patterns and prints except for some pieces with small checks or stripes. I do like to accessorize my solid-colored clothes with patterned scarfs with the same color palette. As for color, I wear lots of greys, whites, creams, and beiges, but I also like jewel tones. I avoid neons because they don't look good on me, but I think they look great on some women.
If confidence really comes "from within" as she says, it doesn't matter what you wear, as long as it is appropriate and comfortable. Buy something responsibly made (or vintage, even better) and you'll be confident knowing you are a person who cares about other people, not what class other people think you're in.
Another thing that is not mentioned is old money, they watch thier weight. They dont fluctuate so buying quality stable pieces of clothing, that is timeless cause once tailored, they have to do so..
I enjoyed this video but I worked hard to achieve the financial status that I have today so nobody but nobody is going to tell me what to wear or what looks doesn’t😂 I enjoy styling mysel☺️
I'm retired and live in Florida now. I wear shorts and a tee shirt most days, and flip flops. I have a couple of nice outfits to wear to events, and a few to wear traveling. Thats all I need. I save so much money, and I'm very happy with my life. So, bottom line, who cares what wealthy women wear?
@GoddessBlessYou It was of interest, but it's comedic interest. I think it's funny that people put so much importance on what wealthy people wear in an attempt to impress others.
@GoddessBlessYou Of course it's about impressing other people. Isn't that the point of this video, to help people dress like "old money" so people won't think they're nouveau riche?
@@kathleenstoin671 That could be one reason, of course. Perhaps if you're clever enough, you could come up with three or four additional reasons why this might be of interest to someone.
It's about never having food, living a life of someone else's money to pay so much to look well dressed. Most stores don't sell natural fabric clothing and most people can't afford to buy natural fabrics anymore. Synthetic fibres were promoted by the oil industry and took over the market and wool, cotton and linen got a bad wrap instead of being naturally the best for humans to wear. They breathe but Synthetics don't.
Not true: "most people can't afford to buy natural fabrics anymore." The day a person stops buying crap for the sake of buying buying buying, then that person is on the way to saving/investing It's about CHOOSING quality It's about wanting things that are well made, feel great on & are not made solely to fill a landfill. If you pay for any streaming service, or ever eat in a restaurant, or buy any food that is not on sale... then you already have the funds to buy QUALITY (not quantity). Bad clothing habits are something that any one can change... it's a CHOICE to not buy garbage, only to complain it's garbage.
We grew up near the best consignment shops on Long Island. Gently used cashmere sweaters ,a treat to find wool jackets ,Corderoy pants ,great boots and loafers ! A blouse selection for three seasons too. Trendy just didnt do it for us. Lucky to be size 8-10 it was easy and reasonable to buy clothes that would be in style for year not just months. Comfortable, natural fabrics, Understated clothes to live in. Mother frowned on showing too much skin. She was so right!. Not rich but thrifty and comfortably retired now. Love clothes! Dressi is on it!
@@joyceellis9722 I completely agree with this. I've gotten to where I can't stand the way cheap fabric feels, and it definitely doesn't wear the same. Quality clothing just hangs right. It looks tailored without needing to be tailored. It feels right against my skin and it moves right when I'm moving.
No skinny jeans or big big floppy ones. The classic gently broke in five pocket jean never goes out of style - paired with a chic linen white shirt, to die for. No big clunky athletic shoes. Instead, wear a pair of Keds or a leather loafer. These are my go-to for shopping on my day off.
A couple of things I disagree with here. Some natural fabrics like linen and even cotton can wrinkle and look messy. There are many quality synthetic fabrics that wear much better. I don't see anything wrong with a print now and then. It should be tasteful and can make an outfit look better.
I was going to say the same about synthetic fabrics. They look great, they feel great, and they are practical. I don't wear much cotton and linen not because I can't afford it, but because I just don't want to waste my life trying to make them look polished.
Wear what makes you feel like you. Designer clothes don’t mean better. Following your rules and feeling good about yourself always works. Old money tips are for old money people but for us that are not in that 1%, be yourself and you’ll look radiant.
I agreed with everything except color. I could never live without the color red. Not in everything but a red trenchcoat or red pant or skirt suit. Love!
I'm the poor version of wearing classic clothes. Can't afford the natural fabrics but always hated logos let alone loud ones. I love dressing up xx ❤😂 xx
Linen is a mass of wrinkles 5 minutes after putting it on, and the item completely loses its shape. The linen sold today in woke culture is cheap straight linen made globally. The linen fabric acceptable for those who dont want to look like they slept and live on the street is a linen blend.
When you invest in quality clothing and take proper care of it, it lasts a lifetime. You don't need a closet packed with clothes either, just a few well-chosen pieces. I wear wool socks all winter, and the best part is you can wear them more than once before washing. Don't try that with some cheap acrylic socks.
My son calls me "Abercrombie old." I think is a compliment because i wear what i have worn for decades - not the clothes, but the lovely & comfortable.
TLDR version so you won't waste 10 minutes of your time. 1. no logo to flaunt 2. no overly trendy items 3. no cheap synthetic (polyester, acrylic) fabric 4. no loud colors or prints (not about commanding attention, it's about inspiring admiration) 5. no overly revealing clothing (less is more) 6. no flashy jewelry 7. no poorly fitting clothes 8. no overdone makeup or hair I also don't like the 'old money women' idea. Old money does not make someone elegant. Elegance comes out of within, authenticity sincerity, not something superficial. I see this video as a guide to express your inner elegance. One can dress elegantly as much as she wants (here all models are women), but if she doesn't have empathy, grace, humility, her elegant clothes are nothing but a shadow of snobby 'old money'.
Malakies!!!! People wear what makes you feel good, happy and what Is affordable to you!!! A.I telling humans what to wear, please take a seat behind me!!!
I think one thing to add to the list is: symmetry. While there's some natural asymmetrical things (you're not going to carry *two* handbags just to achieve 'symmetry') in general you don't tend to see much if any asymmetry in classic, "old money" styling. So the things I'm seeing in the other comments, like complaints about heavy piercings and tattoos, could just as easily fall under complaints of a lack of symmetry (very *very* few people even *try* to have perfectly symmetrical tattoos from one side to the other of the body.) Tattoos would also likely fall under "flashy makeup," too.
My mom used to say that a perfect dress is when the next day every one remembers that you looked amazing, but no one can remember the details of your dress. I've always followed that advice.

Not rich, but if I’m going to work hard- I rather buy 1 or 2 outfits of their brand than a couple of pieces that wear out by the end of the season

I'm 86 and have always followed these premises. I was criticized but held to my ideals. Not wealthy but discerning.
Exactly. My mother was a model in the mid 1940s. She taught me….find your style, buy the best and keep it forever.
Wise!
My sentiments exactly.
You go girl! I mean miss lady😂😂😂. You probably stun the room when you walk in. We'll done. My grandmother was 100 and recently passed away, but she always dressed impeccably

I am African and, we absolutely love bold prints and colors and, we pull it off perfectly.
I think there is a tasteful way to wear bold colors and patterns. That's where the natural fibers, the correct fit and the quality accessories come into play. As for me, I am probably the whitest American woman you will ever see and I get the most compliments when wearing bright colors like red, sunflower yellow and leafy green. I've had African immigrant neighbors who wear their traditional clothes and the bright colors and bold prints fill me with joy . Plus they approve my use of bright colors more than other people do.
No worries; African fabrics are not what they mean by loud/garnish.
They are pretty.
TACKY 😂
And I am puerto rican and I love the same and pull it off perfectly too.

No piercings at all except ears. No tattoos ever.
YES!!!!
People can have lovely personalities and the kindest on earth but when you see someone tattooed up it totally takes away from sophistication and elegance. Some brides suddenly cover up their tattoos on their arms for their wedding day. Why? I think because suddenly they feel unattractive, and tattoos are unattractive no matter what they look like. Male or female in my opinion. Sophistication and elegance are my game. ❤
Agree, tattoos are disgusting.
I haven't seen anyone whose tattoos had aged well unfortunately 😕
Some hidden, actually.
My dad always told me about old money versus new and said old money is always understated and not flashy or gauche. He also told me to leave something to the imagination. Therefore, I try to dress modestly with taste.
when you know who you are, you don't need to shout or brag
Yes, I remember my Dad pointing out some relative's gold chains & jewelry, commenting that their insecurity about status was obvious from their visible need to show their "prosperity".
I’ve Been In Some Wealthy Home If You Could See The Gotti Jewelry Theses Woman Buy Walk Up Down Beverly Hills You’ll See Taste Is Yours Along
You don't need a lot of money to look good and you don't need 'old money' whatever that is. I buy most of my clothing second hand off ebay and I stick to classic labels like Burberry, Jaegar, Givenchy, Dior and so on. Classic fashion never goes out of style and it doesn't cost a fortune either.
Agreed...and, for the record, "old money" is an outdated term snobs use (or used to use), to make themselves feel better about inheriting money rather than earning it.....
@@ali-jean People do use it in a snobby way, really often. But it's also used as a way to distinguish between the cultural characteristics of people who come from the "old guard" or "landed gentry"-type families, and who have a very exclusive social set, that only other old money people can be in...and people who made their money and don't come from those places. For example, the whole book the great gatsby is about how jay gatsby can't break through into the "old money" social stratus and marry Daisy, the woman with whom he's obsessed.
I mostly shop in 2nd hand charity stores.
And I get compliments All the time.
"Where did you buy that?"
I'm proud to Tell them.
"You won't find another one '
Second hand shops are the best places to be an individual and get quality and Labels for a lot Less.
lol. Not if you buy used Goodwill. Costs practically nothing. lol.
@@ali-jean Old money is about working for $ generation after generation... not flaunting skin or hawking products on line for a fast buck
Tailoring is going to be my watch word I have gone from a size 26 to an 18 on carnivore. I have 60 more pounds to go and being able to now choose clothes rather than settling for what fits means that being tailored will make it all look better. I love the tips to help me build a well put together look I can be proud of. Thank you,
Congratulations, and good for you! You will reach your goals. 😊
Congrats on your hard work! Keep it up, go, go, go!!! I believe in you! ❤
Congratulations!!! Very exciting!
Congratulations. I’m proud if your success. I love tailored simple clothing. Never a fan of trendy clothes. I’m short and curvy. So trendy clothes look ridiculous on me. I was on carnivore and was losing weight and feeling good. But with the last several months and a few surprise surgeries, money is tight and carnivore is more expensive. Hoping to get started back soon and have a successful story like yours! All the best. ❤❤
Build a tier of tailors... the very best for evening wear. A mid level for hard to change pieces (for when you cannot avoid a side zipper), and then a lower level for things that dont need much adjusting, or aren't very difficult
I'm not an old money person by any means, I go for classic timeless pieces that can last me a good couple of years or as we say here "battle horses". I work with people, I am the face of my job so even if I'm dead beat tired or feeling lazy, I must look all put together and neat. I'm picky with colours because not all of them fit my skin tone and undertone well. I do use the colour palette you suggested but with a few changes: I wear a darker and cooler shade than the classic beige, dark green and red. Whenever my spirits are low, I wear red and it's like an instant boost up.
Of course real money does not care and wears whatever they want. Plenty of women wear big statement pieces with plain clothes but the real confidence comes from wearing what you want and owning it. This and having impeccable manners😊
Totally agree and well said!
Well said..and of course.. they can afford it😅@@bboggs1277
No, that's not true. Their peers are constantly judging them. The need to conform is very strong. You want to be seen as "above" certain things.
"Old money" does not mean confident. Those are two different things.
Wear what you want with class!!
While it's true OLD money wears what they want to. What she's saying is that OLD money WANTS to wear well made classics made of natural fabric that stand the test of time. She's talking about generational wealth, like the Kennedys or royal. Although the young do have a tendency to dabble in trends, albeit expensive trends. Those in the fashion industry industry might also sway to bolder pieces also.
My mom used to say Classic attire never fades because it’s not a trend or a fad. If you wear jewelry, make sure you don’t overdo it. The whole point is understatement in fashion is better. And my mom was told she looked very regal.
I am 65, follow most of these rules. I love to coordinate scarves and classic accessories. But my heart does go out to hot pink and animal print 😊
Elegance and class are the keys
Its good for this temporary earth.Rather focus on Eternal things.Where will your soul go when you no more here? Nobody is promised tomorrow.Do you know Jesus Christ?He is coming soon,
I've always dressed like this, but not because I am trying to look like anything. I just appreciate quality fabrics, and my style is kind of boring and timeless. The bonus is that I still have a lot of clothing from 20+ years ago that I still wear. I absolutely love cashmere, so I buy 1 or 2 pieces every year or 2 on black friday. Quality clothing just feels better and fits better.
Of course, every so often I will buy something trendy, but I won't spend much money on it because I know I'm only going to wear it a few times.
It’s not boring, it’s timeless
Same here.... My daughters all agreed while looking through a family photo album that they couldn't tell the decade I was in by my dress. I wore the same style decade after decade starting in high school
@@bluesageful Exactly!!
It’s also important to take good care of the clothes so that they last.
I do agree. I am not rich, but I love quality and classic style and I am happy with that. I have no need for drawing attention, I wear my clothes for my pleasure. ❤
Just wear whatever you feel happy in,and stop worrying about what other people think , Judge people by their attitude not by their appearance 👌
If you buy whatever that make you fell happy then it's extremely Harmful for the environment . Polyester dresses are extremely unhealthy for this environment. This is reality. Polyester fabric are made with plastic . So people need to think about buying dress not just a small happiness. Disrespecting the environment is not a very happy thing for this world.

You nail it! Synthetics are the death of style (and of the environment,too). I admit that I sometimes wear them but not as throw-away items but in classical and well-fitting pieces to last several seasons.
In Ontario, Canada, l have a hard time finding natural fiber garments such as wool blended dress pants. Any suggestions?
@@louisekunkel1757 Vintage stores!
Bless your heart for not understanding that most of the world can only afford synthetics. You talk about the death of fashion when many people, even those with jobs, can't afford their bills!. Your world sounds like a nice place to visit
@@bellareid3488 Cotton is a natural fabric, and is cheap, warm, long-lasting, and versatile.
@@bellareid3488 I'm an European of rather low income and I can even afford cashmere sweaters. Of course I must look for bargains, and have to make smart choices and treat them well so I can wear them a long time. My oldest one is from 1996 and still alive and kicking😄
Wear what you love and what makes you feel happily good about yourself! ❤️
Great video !!!! You made great points!!! Thank you!!!
On a minor note: my father got a car from a dealer and they put the dealer logo on the car. He said "take it off unless you are going to pay me for advertising for you". I was just a kid but I remember that and to this day, I despise "logo" clothing.
I have always loved dainty jewelry. At the same time, I do love some vintage costume jewelry and will wear it with a really plain outfit.
I have always followed these basic rules as my mom taught me from early on that "classics" and "tailored" looks were the best, and that buying "for the long run" was the best and smartest thing to do. She was from the NE, and despite my being a "California girl" from birth, I wasn't allowed to buy so many "fad" items that my girlfriends had in middle- and high-school, other than for some casual clothes. Drove me crazy that I couldn't have "the latest and greatest" in shoes and clothing styles, but in retrospect, I'm glad that I had "my own" sense of style. Mom's lessons have followed me all through life, and I was able to adapt no matter where I lived, be it in NYC, across The Pond, or visiting cousins in the Deep South. I never felt "out of place". Nor did I ever feel self-conscious at special events I've had to attend over the years. I find that having a "classic" wardrobe is even more important when one works in a male-dominated field, like Wall Street, when I often found myself being the only woman around a table of well-dressed men.
I pair my Walmart finds with Chico's or Ann Taylor and accessories from thrift stores. Sometimes wearing all Walmart and no one knows. The secret is confidence in your look and attitude. As an 81yo Latina, my wardrobe is classically timeless with items from 20 years ago.
Loved the suggestions. I have been studying classic outfits for a while now and I know it's time to revamp my wardrobe. However, here in Ahmedabad, it's pretty difficult to find such quality clothing. Everything around me is in line with some sort of trend. But one piece a time, wherever I find it, will have to do for now. I loved the colours you showed - tan, beige, white, black and I would suggest browns too; especially the darker shaed go beautifully with white and beige.
And also, finding a good tailor is key to the entire wardrobe. Hard to find these days.
You forgot to mention
No tattoos
No piercings in nose, lip etc other than the ear (1 or 2 max)
The nails !!!! No extremely long pointed nails as belonging to a witch !!! Short nails, maybe a few mm long with neutral colors and no prints or stuff glued onto them !
One piercing max in ears.
i love my long Pointy witch nails. In Nude. it's so nice to scare people away in puplic with them. because it Shows you do not have to Do the mundane Tasks . 😈😏
No cow bells going from the ear to the nose
😂😆😆 N Shore LI
No tattoos is a rule I wouldn’t be caught dead following. For me I like to think of it as a symbol of strength, endurance, and resilience because apparently they are painful.
Absolutely 💯, Originality is the key when dressing yourself with fashionable clothing, not being formed to what is trendy, excellent video ❤
Great points! Thank you so much for your video!
People need to stop buying clothes that wear out and fall apart!
I bought a red silk blouse, used. I have had it for years, wear it during the holidays each year. Still looks like new.
Lovely video, thank you. Absolutely true.
so true....doesnt matter the yr of fashion it matters to have pieces that stand the test of time....
I believe that one should use whatever one likes and can afford, obviously . It's difficult to choose quality when one is trying to make ends meet...
I love quality, but have little money for clothes. My first tip is to save up for things rather than repeatedly buy something that will 'do' for now. I have great luck (and a lot of fun!) shopping estate sales, vintage shops, and thrift stores--and no one knows how little I paid unless I choose to tell them! 😊
Just the other day, I got several compliments on my tall leather boots which are not only on their 5th year for me but supremely comfortable, and cost me $12 US at a local charity shop! I have an assortment of colorful silk scarves that were $1 each; I'm still learning 1,000 ways to wear them, thanks to videos online 😊
It is always better to buy quality because it is going to last longer than having to replace items all the time because they were poorly made. Of course when menopause hits, you have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe thanks to weight gain.😜
Elegant, Sophisticated, Refined, seeing A1....Thank you Kindly! 👗
At my father's country club many heiresses wear Isabel Marant, Erdem, Pucci , MaxxMara all of which are bold and colorful.
I've watched some of these videos, and you are the first to mention Max Mara. My coat will out live me!
While I agree I will say the owners & higher ups separate themselves this way. Look at the owners of the cc
CC is the bolder part of the day... The nod to summer & youth, but not representative of other daily wear
Are you thinking of Isabel Marant?
@kumaranvij That was the auto complete .
I don't care what anyone says, I like prints and bright colors...and I get compliments... clothes should suit your personality (I'm not "boring")...Yet, I don't wear tight or tasteless clothing...
To each his own. Be yourself whatever that is. One does not need to follow certain ranks
I agree. Originality is key. Older women, even with tattoos (like them or not) are still making a statement of what they believe in, and that's the most important.
I worked in a boutique many years ago and whenever I hear of understated elegance it always remind me of one Designer and it's Ralph Lauren.
I do not agree about bright colours. A lot of rich stylish women love bright colours. Black and navy blue are reserved for funerals, lighter colours such as white, blue and pearl grey are appropriate for work, but for holidays and special occasions bright colours are considered appropriate.
Life is short wear whatever you want!!!!
EXACTLY. Honestly, I think most of these looks are boring and frumpy.🥰
yeah, you'd wear that on a t-shirt, they wouldn't.

Buying logo clothes makes you pay someone to be a walking billboard. Hard pass.
Exactly!! If they want me to he a walking billboard, they glance give me the item, and then pay me to wear it.
When I hear the word "brand", I think of cattle getting branded and that's basically what they're doing -- showing their logo shows you belong to them.
@@janetplanet8678 That is precisely why people buy logo items... they want to belong to a group
Isn’t “I don’t care” old money?
I love the fashion in this video thanks for the idea,s👍🎯💖💯🗽
Since I was little, clothes have always been my toys. That's how I play. Wanting to come across as "old money" or "classic", or "chic", is making others the center of our attention... It's making sure we come across to them in a certain way (or don't).
I am French, and was raised with classic, flawless style. Booooring!
Like is too short.
Enjoy yourself. Play! 😊
Then you dont need a video! But, not all careers approve of that finger flipping creativity.

Is the collar AJ is wearing in the thumbnail what Melania was going for at Carter’s memorial? She missed the mark.
Well put together 👏 thank you!
So exactly true… But “ old money woman attire “ can be somewhat “ BORING “, there is a difference in LOUD clothing attire and SUTLE TASTEFUL attire… For that tasteful classy look always go for a SUTLE ( If you are not sure what “ SUTLE “ means in fashion )…
LOOK IT UP 💫.
Class never goes out of style… Check out the movies from 1900- 2000. 1940 particularly, Those ladies ( and men ), really knew how to dress. On stage, off stage, everyday life, and the hugh majority was not wealthy .
Good article, quite a few individuals really needed this ! Great job 👏😌👏
Subtle*
Agree in theory about natural fabrics, but wool and cashmere have to be carefully stored in cedar cabinets or closets so it doesn't get moth-eaten. Both woolens and linen fabrics often require dry-cleaning. Dry cleaning can get expensive and it's an environmental hazard.
I continue to hope that more blended fabrics - cotton, hemp, bamboo, and linen - will trickle down to the mid-priced retailers, but so far, not much joy in that respect.
I have certainly seen wealthy women wearing chunky jewelry, but it's paired with clothing that makes it work well and looks very sophisticated.
Being well-mannered and having good social skills goes a long way even if you can't afford to dress upscale or struggle with getting a tailored look.
This style is definitely my preference - the emphasis is on the woman rather than what she is wearing. Staying away from fast fashion is also important for humanitarian and environmental reasons.
Unfortunately, my body size has changed so much over the years that I can no longer wear any of the timeless pieces I have purchased over and over in multiple sizes. 😔. Having a timeless wardrobe really only works if you don’t have changes like my double-mastectomy, or fluctuating weight.
I have lived my life by these rules, and I love it!!!!
Outside labels were invented as a segment for the population who can’t afford couture. When you are wearing labels on the outside, you are screaming that you’re too poor to afford the higher end couture version. Nothing screams mid like a walking billboard for a design designer.
I love these tips. But I do love loud colors and prints. I love turquoise jewelry. I hate logo clothing. But I did love that little alligator on my chest in the eighties.
Denise, frankly, you sound like you're too good for these silly tips. You know what you like and you wear it. You don't care about conforming, you like to have fun and do what makes you happy.
And you can still buy the alligator shirts! They're from the French brand Lacoste, and they're made from cotton, which is a great natural fabric not mentioned by this snobby narrator.
The best style for you is what makes you happy, comfortable and confident. Plenty of wealth doyens of style wear prints colours and chunky jewels. Key is quality in harmony
What does that alligator do for you? What are you trying to tell others... that we got suckered into 1980's over the top consumerism... that made shoppers poor & textile conglomerates wealthy.
[Now we know better: If you have stock in the company instead of wearing the logo, you can be in a better place)
@@rl3636 I hardly think buying a couple mid-priced polo shirts is "over the top consumerism."
I tend to wear clothes without patterns and prints except for some pieces with small checks or stripes. I do like to accessorize my solid-colored clothes with patterned scarfs with the same color palette. As for color, I wear lots of greys, whites, creams, and beiges, but I also like jewel tones. I avoid neons because they don't look good on me, but I think they look great on some women.
What tip am I going to use? I'm going to try confidence because tailoring is too expensive. Lol.
Actually it isn't, you just need to find a lady (or gentleman) who knows how to nip & tuck & hem properly.
Delighted to find your channel!
If confidence really comes "from within" as she says, it doesn't matter what you wear, as long as it is appropriate and comfortable.
Buy something responsibly made (or vintage, even better) and you'll be confident knowing you are a person who cares about other people, not what class other people think you're in.
I loved all the tips. I already do some of them, but others I did not know. Thank you for the tips.
Another thing that is not mentioned is old money, they watch thier weight. They dont fluctuate so buying quality stable pieces of clothing, that is timeless cause once tailored, they have to do so..
And those fabrics (wool, silk, organic cotton) aren’t as toxic. Good luck finding those natural, nontoxic, fibers.
Really agree about the clown makeup. The truly rich care about flaunting a healthy natural skin.
Great video!
I’ve been doing this for years!

I'm retired and live in Florida now. I wear shorts and a tee shirt most days, and flip flops. I have a couple of nice outfits to wear to events, and a few to wear traveling. Thats all I need. I save so much money, and I'm very happy with my life. So, bottom line, who cares what wealthy women wear?
Why did you watch this video if it's of no interest to you?

@@kathleenstoin671 It's not always about impressing other people, though. That's an assumption you're making.

@DonnaAllicock
Are you by any chance, an "artist"?
I love all the classics!!
It's about never having food, living a life of someone else's money to pay so much to look well dressed. Most stores don't sell natural fabric clothing and most people can't afford to buy natural fabrics anymore. Synthetic fibres were promoted by the oil industry and took over the market and wool, cotton and linen got a bad wrap instead of being naturally the best for humans to wear. They breathe but Synthetics don't.
Not true: "most people can't afford to buy natural fabrics anymore." The day a person stops buying crap for the sake of buying buying buying, then that person is on the way to saving/investing
It's about CHOOSING quality
It's about wanting things that are well made, feel great on & are not made solely to fill a landfill.
If you pay for any streaming service, or ever eat in a restaurant, or buy any food that is not on sale... then you already have the funds to buy QUALITY (not quantity).
Bad clothing habits are something that any one can change... it's a CHOICE to not buy garbage, only to complain it's garbage.
We grew up near the best consignment shops on Long Island. Gently used cashmere sweaters ,a treat to find wool jackets ,Corderoy pants ,great boots and loafers ! A blouse selection for three seasons too. Trendy just didnt do it for us. Lucky to be size 8-10 it was easy and reasonable to buy clothes that would be in style for year not just months. Comfortable, natural fabrics, Understated clothes to live in. Mother frowned on showing too much skin. She was so right!. Not rich but thrifty and comfortably retired now. Love clothes! Dressi is on it!
I have sweaters and jackets that are 20 years old. Timeless. Care for them. Quality clothes hang different feel better move better
@@joyceellis9722 I completely agree with this. I've gotten to where I can't stand the way cheap fabric feels, and it definitely doesn't wear the same. Quality clothing just hangs right. It looks tailored without needing to be tailored. It feels right against my skin and it moves right when I'm moving.
Good solid advice used on the right occasion.
❤ Timeless pieces...
No skinny jeans or big big floppy ones. The classic gently broke in five pocket jean never goes out of style - paired with a chic linen white shirt, to die for.
No big clunky athletic shoes. Instead, wear a pair of Keds or a leather loafer.
These are my go-to for shopping on my day off.
A couple of things I disagree with here. Some natural fabrics like linen and even cotton can wrinkle and look messy. There are many quality synthetic fabrics that wear much better. I don't see anything wrong with a print now and then. It should be tasteful and can make an outfit look better.
I was going to say the same about synthetic fabrics. They look great, they feel great, and they are practical. I don't wear much cotton and linen not because I can't afford it, but because I just don't want to waste my life trying to make them look polished.
I thought it was generally accepted that linen wrinkles easily, and so the wrinkles are not frowned upon ??
@@mickbethful I guess it depends on a person's preference. I don't wear linen because of the wrinkle issue.
Cotton is far less problematic than linen, as long as it is a good quality. I don't bother with linen due to instant wrinkles.
I can agree about linen. I bought it when I was younger but I won't buy it again. It gets wrinkled in a heartbeat.
Wear what makes you feel like you. Designer clothes don’t mean better. Following your rules and feeling good about yourself always works. Old money tips are for old money people but for us that are not in that 1%, be yourself and you’ll look radiant.
I agreed with everything except color. I could never live without the color red. Not in everything but a red trenchcoat or red pant or skirt suit. Love!

I'm the poor version of wearing classic clothes. Can't afford the natural fabrics but always hated logos let alone loud ones. I love dressing up xx ❤😂 xx
You sounds exactly like me. I could have written your post :)
Sounds totally like me. :)
the hair is one for me to try and I’m quite petite so I seem to have trouble tailoring to my frame but tailored styles!
Linen is a mass of wrinkles 5 minutes after putting it on, and the item completely loses its shape. The linen sold today in woke culture is cheap straight linen made globally. The linen fabric acceptable for those who dont want to look like they slept and live on the street is a linen blend.
What is "woke culture" sold linen? What does woke have to do with linen?
I love black dresses.
When you invest in quality clothing and take proper care of it, it lasts a lifetime. You don't need a closet packed with clothes either, just a few well-chosen pieces. I wear wool socks all winter, and the best part is you can wear them more than once before washing. Don't try that with some cheap acrylic socks.
Not to mention they let your skin breath!
Don’t forget affordable 100% cotton! Also some skins suit jewel colours and look washed out by beige, so a pop of colour works well.
My son calls me "Abercrombie old." I think is a compliment because i wear what i have worn for decades - not the clothes, but the lovely & comfortable.
I can never get tired of watching this show. I love their friendship and just reminds me of how me and my friends were in high school.
Life's not fun without flashy jewlry
TLDR version so you won't waste 10 minutes of your time.
1. no logo to flaunt
2. no overly trendy items
3. no cheap synthetic (polyester, acrylic) fabric
4. no loud colors or prints (not about commanding attention, it's about inspiring admiration)
5. no overly revealing clothing (less is more)
6. no flashy jewelry
7. no poorly fitting clothes
8. no overdone makeup or hair
I also don't like the 'old money women' idea. Old money does not make someone elegant. Elegance comes out of within, authenticity sincerity, not something superficial. I see this video as a guide to express your inner elegance. One can dress elegantly as much as she wants (here all models are women), but if she doesn't have empathy, grace, humility, her elegant clothes are nothing but a shadow of snobby 'old money'.
Malakies!!!!
People wear what makes you feel good, happy and what Is affordable to you!!!
A.I telling humans what to wear, please take a seat behind me!!!
Well done!
Linen, no matter the price point, wrinkles the second you sit down in a car. Result = unappealing.
odd there was no mention of Cashmere... so much nicer than wool, esp if you are petite
Exactly!
@rl3636 cashmere IS wool.
Linen is meant to be worn slightly wrinkled. Thats the appeal of it. It's non chalant elegance.
Wash linen in a high-quality laundry soap, such as Tallow & Ash. It will remain crease free for much longer. All natural fibres should be air dried.
Hello have a great day 🎉.

Anna Wintour wears colorful prints. She knows fashion.
She also knows no one likes her.
But they are subdued prints
You are correct, however the subject of this video is how to dress in a certain refined and subdued style. The focus of the video was not fashion.
@@AllergicToFantasy It’s called adding context. Lighten up.
@@1bonnierussell Your perception of me being heavy or intense is incorrect.
I think one thing to add to the list is: symmetry. While there's some natural asymmetrical things (you're not going to carry *two* handbags just to achieve 'symmetry') in general you don't tend to see much if any asymmetry in classic, "old money" styling. So the things I'm seeing in the other comments, like complaints about heavy piercings and tattoos, could just as easily fall under complaints of a lack of symmetry (very *very* few people even *try* to have perfectly symmetrical tattoos from one side to the other of the body.) Tattoos would also likely fall under "flashy makeup," too.
