I AM NEW MONEY AND NOT APOLOGISING FOR IT.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- I have seen so many videos lately on "how to dress old money' , or 'how to style old money', and it made me think about why we should be trying to dress in a way to portray ourselves as something different, to fit in with people who most likely, don't want us in their club. I am never going to be old money, I have worked and earned everything I have, and I don't accept that is something to apologise for, or somehow lesser than someone who is old money, in this video I talk with you about why I am new money and not apologising for it.

“Old Money or New Money” One thing is for certain….The Tax man likes both 😂
Oh yes he does!
Word!
BINGO
All Dollies - I was raised Old Money. The only thing that says that you are refined and cultured is that you treat everyone, including yourself, with precious dignity. I wish New was exchanged with Vulgar. Anyone can choose Dignity. Anyone can choose Vulgarity. The age of one's fortune does not translate into Kindness and Empathy. I know plenty of Old Money Vulgarians and and plenty of 'New' discreet Angels
Oh this is so true and interesting, thank you!
One of the greatest things money affords anyone who has it, is the ability to express one's self. So, I say, ROCK WHAT YOU LOVE! 🤘🏻🤩💖
And I couldn’t agree more!
Ugh, the boring-a$$ beige old money thing has been bothering me for a while now. I’m totally with you on this.
Totally agree, its sooo boring. Give me maximalism, colors and glitter!!
loud and proud!
I’m new money, but I like the “quiet luxury/old money” aesthetic as people call it. I don’t want to pretend to be something I’m not - and no one would believe it the minute I opened my mouth lol - but I am really just attracted to the timeless style. I just want something that I feel comfortable in and don’t need to waffle too much over each day. My friend once joked I looked like I was heading to the Hamptons for the weekend and I replied only if I was there to clean homes. Great video!
What did she say to that reply!
@@ameliarosesclosetAll she could do was burst out laughing.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO EVER!!!!!! Amelia, you are so real! Give me my chrome Fendi Baguette, and my McQueen Sandals! But with cutoff jeans and a hoodie! LETS JUST HAVE FUN and enjoy! Thank you for posting this!
Thank you so much!
finally somebody freaking honest coz I never felt wanting to portray like old money people! I know for myself where I belong not fool myself haha
Exactly!
The difference between old money and new money lies in not how old the money is but rather in manners, education and elegance.
The things that are actually important
Back in the day, I met the old Lord Lever and the old Duke of Westminster. One was well mannered and considerate, the other was more brash and arrogant. One acted like the gentleman he was towards us, the other not so much.
While education can be difficult (but not impossible) with limited funds, manners are how you respect other people and have nothing to do with money (new or old) or the lack of it!
There’s a saying that “money doesn’t make the man/woman”. Well, old or new money doesn’t change anything. Like so many have said in their comments, kindness, respect, compassion, understanding, etc are the real wealth.
I agree.. I grew up middle class from parents who worked hard to give us a good education and lifestyle I wanted to maintain so I worked hard myself to give my kids the same and make them better than me
exactly this
I love this! If I had kids, I just want them to have more opportunities than I had but that they should appreciate that they have access to it.
I like your honesty. I'm from one of those families (and there are many of us) that *were* old money and are now no money 😅 I have never judged people by how much money or anything else that they had or have. I judge people by these criteria, being kind to others, being polite, understanding and accepting differences. This whole dress code thing is ridiculous. It is totally antiquated. You can spot 'old money wannabes' from a mile off. No-one is better than anyone else, we are all thankfully different! I love a logo and I love a bit of bling and I dress for me, I don't care what other people think 🥰
thank you, and exactly agree with those sentiments
Certain RUclipsrs started out with Primark hauls and now have large properties in the countryside and try to be "county"; they may dress the part, but their accents, vocabulary and behaviour give them away. It's as though they are ashamed of their humble beginnings. Thank you for your honesty. You have the right attitude.
Thank you x
Or maybe their situations and tastes have changed. I am neither old money or new money 😂 but I used to be skint when my kids were young and shopped in primark. Now my kids and myself are older my tastes have completely changed and I can afford to buy better quality timeless clothes.
🙋🏼♀️ New money and proud of it. I don’t have the brain space to consider what I’m wearing to try and fit a certain aesthetic, I just put on clothes I like. Take me as I am or leave me be 🤷🏼♀️
love this my friend!
Hi Amelia!! I've never really worried about what people thought about how much money we have. I've reached the age where I want to know the person, not their monetary worth. As my husband and I aged, the better off we were, but I agree we didn't want our children to be spoiled and have an attitude that they were better than others. All we can do is hope we've taught them morals with kindness mixed in! Great topic, thank you.💕☺️🇨🇦
thank you x
Personally, I hate the old money trend. It's just like any other trend that brainless people follow xD I care much more about truly expressing yourself via clothing and accessories. Old money is so boring, I would never fit into that lifestyle and tbh I would never even want to.
Thank you so much for the video, finally someone talking about this matter from this point of view. 😊❤
Thank you!
It's not a trend. It's been around for many decades. It's not just about beige. It's all neutrals and a timeless, elegant style that is well made.
Greetings from Finland, so happy that I found your channel 😊. Concerning this toppic, for some reason some people seem to think that they are better and their opinions matter more. It is easy to criticize us who love brands and logos, because the logos are visible. However, that is simply bullying and bad behaviour. It is never ok to judge someone because of how a person looks or what she wears.
totally agree with this!
I love this video! I am proud to have worked hard to be at a different place than the generation before because they worked hard to help me get an education and then work hard myself. And I love bright colors too :)
Love this!
Yes!!!! thank you like WHY are people trying to PRETEND to be old money like i'm not and 99.999% of people aren't... so why are people pretending to come from old money???
my thoughts exactly!
Yes i agreed with you Amelia. Who cares and have to look like old money when we are not. We work hard, earned it with pride and dignity that matters. Yes, i do agree that raising kids and not letting them to think that they have "old money" and do not need to work hard is important. They have to work for it and knows the value of money. In this sense they will know how to appreciate it even more that just those easy-pissy or easy come easy go type of attitude in the generation of so called "old money". I do not come from old money too but work my way up. So, i feel you too and each handbag we bought are with pride. Great video 🤩😍
Thank you so much
New money here 🙋🏼♀️ I made it all myself. I came from social housing and welfare, but like you I took advantage of the education offered to me in Australia.
I’ll never understand how working hard and positioning yourself well financially is often snubbed, while money handed down without any blood or tears is glorified??? It flies in the face of reason!
I know full well I look like new money, and I have zero cares to give 😂😂😂
Love this!
I agree. Every time I see a title that is like "truly wealthy people wouldn't buy that", I'm like "what does that have to do with me?" Even if I buy to stunt or for status, it's to other middle class people like myself. That's my peer group, and they can see and be like "hey girl, we see you with that Cute Puuurrse!" and I can be like "mmmhmmmm". Forget old money or new money, I'm 'barely money'. I got $15 and I'm heading to Gucci!
love this!
Money is just money. I’m glad you don’t let it ruffle you. I do find it ironic - in this whole discourse - that when we take a step back and look at “old money”, we find that significant portions of old generational wealth came from methods many of us would consider abhorrent today (slave labour, indentured servitude etc.). The individuals with that wealth today may be truly wonderful people, and may do a lot of good in the world, but it’s hardly appropriate to look down on new money (or it’s associated aesthetic) as somehow déclassé or bad.
absolutely agree
My uncle in England runs in old money circles, and guess what many of them buyand wear flashy things, they are not all dressing in boring beige and they dont care what others think theydo what they like 😂
this is so true!
"Aesthetics" is a trend that comes along with not having an identity... When you know who you are and what you want you are your own aesthetic.
Absolutely agree
Dress for yourself!!! Who gives a fig what anyone else thinks?? Trying to be something you’re not, must take a huge amount of effort - life’s too short!! 🤣❤️
Totally agree and love this!
I actually have much more respect for those who are new money and are self-made with grit and hard work. I don’t think bragging about coming from old money and having it all handed to you as something to be proud to. I find people who work hard for what they have much more inspirational and actually something to aspire to. You can’t aspire to old money.
I grew up in social housing with both parents working all the hours god sent and often having to take us to work with them because they had no one to help them. They have made such a good life and really worked hard to build new money and my parents are the very foundation of my own work ethic and motivation.
we sound from similar backgrounds
I really don’t understand this obsession about old money! They don’t give 2 thoughts about us, why on Earth we should try to look like them? 😂 I cannot!!! My money is my money, my husband and I earned it coming from a very humble background, and gosh I’m so proud of ourselves. I will wear what I love and let people talk if they want to, I don’t care. But what I’m seeing online is mostly people that cannot afford a certain lifestyle that try to put others down by stipulating they are not old money. Last time I checked, wherever I go, they gladly accept my new money. Ha ha
They really don’t give 2 thoughts about us!
It just makes me laugh when I see videos on old money style and I just think this is basically what we called preppy in the 90s but in beige 🤭 x
Exactly!!!!
I agree don't apologize for your hard work; You deserve it!
Thank you!
I’d been admiring and learning a lot from your content. But this video - your honesty and strength - made me love you as a person!❤
Thank you so much x
Great video. One thing I know for sure is that I wouldn't want to try and fit in with people who are old money who judge you on where you come from or what you have and where it has come from. People like that aren't worth it and are no better than anyone else.
yes exactly!!
I loved this video ❤ I have always felt weird about the “how to look old money” videos. I feel the same when they’re “how to look expensive”… I want to wear comfortable clothes that I like, I don’t need them to look “expensive” I want them to look good though 😂 I hate the way it’s worded. Thanks for this video!
Thank you
I'm not any kind of money but I agree with you. I don't like things that are exclusionary. Buy what you love. Wear what you love. Be yourself. If others want to project their own insecurities on you (because that's what it is), it's their loss.
Very true
I'm Popeye too 💪 I am what I am! I ♥️ logos and bling and dressing 4 me...not trying to be what im not...am not old $$ and happy & lucky enough to work & earn what i need to pay my bills and have some extra for splurging how i want, not hurting myself or others ... Grateful, ever grateful 🙏
Love it!!
New money is better trust me. My family literally lost all their money and the name/history remains. My brother was in a business meeting and another gentleman was name dropping and saying that he was related to my great grandmother. My brother didn’t correct him or question it further but my brother then called my mom and asked her and turns out that no this guy isn’t really related to us. But why did this chap do this, he was ashamed of his new money identity. You are quite correct be proud of your accomplishments and never mind others perceptions.
Thank you, that’s a very interesting insight into old money world, I’m sure a lot of people want to be associated to your name
Totally agree - seems archaic to me to be so much about trying to seem old money
so true!
I enjoy both aesthetics but I’ll never be old money. And that’s fine with me!
and me!
1:37 hahahah the thumbnail of the cricket 🏏 jerseys? My kids wear those,for cricket. We must have some generational wealth that I’m unaware of , those little buggers 😂
Oh lol!
Don’t ever polish your edges. That’s what makes you sparkle and why I watch your channel! Live this video. I come from a. Very hard working family as well. I love that we have earned what we have.
thank you!
Sounds like you’re raising your kids right! I laugh at this “old money” term. My law clients over the years varied from new parents with no money really to well into 8-figures. The only ones who dressed in that “old money” style were in what I’d call the “aspiring, working hard group” to those having maybe 2-3 million. Over that amount, and people did whatever they wanted - as they should! Tbh, my very wealthiest clients never looked it. One guy I liked a lot, so down to earth, always wore old Wrangler jeans and cheap golf shirts, but he did like to always drive a new Ford truck. Our wealthiest client had a personal driver for his Cadillac because his own age/health prevented him - other than that, if you saw him, you’d think he was just a nice little old man, not someone worth $100m.
i love these stories! thank you!
You’re a really grounded individual and unapologetically authentic. Your family, friends and all of us are lucky to have you around xxx
Thank you so much, that's lovely x
Further, once the mania has died down, Old Money dressing will be rightly accused of being lazy. 6 VERY expensive outfits in white, beige, grey, black, taupe and navy might sound posh but in its way, is boring. I can close my eyes, pick an outfit and literally look like a couple of thousand bucks without ever being interesting. And Amelia, it hurts me when you doubt yourself. Everyone, confidence is the sexiest sword we've got. Swing it, with magenta streamers in the end.
magenta streamers, i love this!
Hi Amelia ! It is quite funny when the old money people rent their castles for weddings and conferences to the new money people , to pay " property " taxes. Love your vlogs ❤
It’s just as funny new money people who choose to have a wedding in someone’s else castle 😬
Some of those castles are stunning!
Thank you for always sharing your honest thoughts 💗
I am not coming from money either and I am proud of what I’ve achieved and never felt that I am worse than someone who was gifted the affluent life from day 0.
I don’t dress like a stereotypical new money nor like a stereotypical old money, but I’d say that my style is closer to the new money esthetic. I am enjoying wearing pink, quirky cuts and bold styles, often showing a logo too. And I am happy for not being told what to wear in order to not offend my grand-grand-mother’s heritage 😂
Love this and agree!
Love this. I’m confident enough to like what I like and not give a fig about others’ opinion. But it took a while to get here, in part because I am not old money either and I’ve worked hard to be able to afford and enjoy these things. But I’m glad I’m here, and glad you’re here with us too.
Took me a while to get here too, i used to care a lot more
I just adore you! I’m from Sydney Australia, and you are just so bloody awesome and real. You are gorgeous naturally without having to use filters and look like a clown! Keep up the good work! ❤
Thank you so much!!
It’s somehow superior as “old money” still have more financial security and more useful connections, that gives more and more advantages to each of the following generations. However dressing up to appear “old money” is ridiculous.
Oh i agree there are a lot of advantages for those of whom are truly ‘old money’
I too am new money Amelia, and wouldn’t want any other way! My hubby is self made and delightfully real and down to earth because of it. We spend our money on things we like but also love things from our modest upbringings (hubbys favourite thing ever is a Greggs chicken bake). I think new money people are fun and I see that as a compliment.
thank you and yes to this!
New or old money, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what I like and what I can afford
so true
I notice there is a sort of push back against the criticism of “new money” lately & I am glad to see it. Whilst I do prefer the “quite” styles more, it feels the opposite of elegant or cultivated to criticise other people’s preferences. Tbh most luxury RUclips I watch are people with much louder styles than my self because it’s interesting to see other perspectives. I know to how to do “old money style”, there is nothing I can see online that will add to that but channels like yours give me ideas how to add some colour and fun
That’s an interesting perspective, I’m glad it gives an alternative view x
Love this! Btw your cute mini boston bag sent me down the rabbit hole for needing Gucci Bloom pink collection 😅 threw me back to remember how much I wanted that print
Isn’t it so cute!
This conversation always makes me laugh. Luxury stores and brands stay in business due to the old money people buying them over and over. Logos have always been around even if the pictures are in black and white. Buy what you want and like and can afford. People will talk no matter what
So very very true
100%! What’s wrong with new money? It’s your own achievement. There is more respect in self achievement than something that has been passed down.
I don’t want to see kids, teenagers and young people in their early 20s that has never had a job in their lives wearing a luxury bag. That, for me, is a put off. I’ve stopped watching some RUclips channels just because of this.
i am proud to have earned my own money
Some people have too much time on their hands to care about what someone else has or where it came from.
So true
Guuurrl! I am with you. Old or new who cares. Just be yourself. And another thing…quiet luxury is not a trend people…do I need to keep screaming this. It has been around forever. Max Mara, Laura Piano, Hermes…..nothing wrong with wearing a bunch of neutrals and classic cuts..again people this is not a trend it has been around and is a classic way of dressing. I have been buying luxury off and on for over 30 years. Dress the way that makes you feel good about yourself and please have some fun with it. Personally I like to wear a bit of logo now and again. Yes I am that woman who just bought a Gucci logo blazer and I love it. It is not everyone’s cup of tea and I don’t care. Will most likely wear it with a pair of neutral trousers or shorts. I agree…that old money country club set is not anything I aspire to. Besides I am a woman of color here in the US and that automatically disqualifies me from being part of those groups. I could be a billionaire and it would not make a difference to those people. Like the song says “They Not Like Us!”.
I love a Gucci logo blazer!
While I enjoy learning about the history behind some old money families, they've inherited their money (if there's anything left), but new money has worked their butt off to get to where they are.
As for style, I think it comes down to personality. I'm an introvert, and my style reflects that and is more minimalistic. I don't just wear neutrals, and I love my pops of red, there is undeniably the odd logo in there for good measure. If pushed, I'd say my style is smart casual, with an emphasis on elevated basics. It's not about being perceived in a certain way.
In my opinion, people who have more logos and colour in their style tend to be more extroverted. And if they're comfortable with their style, it'll shine out, and they'll look great.
I'm not saying that there aren't people who conform to the old money/ new money stereotypes there is usually some truth in all stereotypes, and that's totally fine, but we should be a little bit careful of using these stereotypes to look down on others. Especially if they're not trying to be something they're not!
absolutely agree
Personally I’d rather be new money. I’m not new money yet but I’m working on it. My parents instilled a very good work ethic in me and that’s something I value in others. I’d rather be middle class and hard working than rich and lazy
I hear this
New money, and i dont like logos. But i also dont like prints. I just like solid colored clothing that i can easily mix and match without taking up brain space with my bags being a pop of color.
I also think it's silly to try and fit into an aesthetic. I say find a style that works for you and enjoy it! Fashion should be fun.
totally agree!
I am me- I grew up poor and have done well for myself- I will never run with the “old money” crowd- and I could not care less- just be yourself- old or new money is stupid- that is archaic thinking- ❤❤
totally agree
Agreed!
Thank you!
Great video ⭐️
thank you
I feel like Old Money is just a theme now like a trend to appear wealthy, whether or not.
agreed
You should buy and wear whatever makes you happy and whatever makes you look good. I usually buy and look better in classic colours but lately have bought a Dior wicker bag with the coral ribbon and a Birkin in Jaune Poussin for fun.
Oh 2 fabulous purchases!
While I probably personally prefer the "old money" aesthetic, I think it's a silly concept. I wear what I like with zero thoughts on what it's communicating to others, I don't dress to impress other people. Even though your style is different from mine, I appreciate your collection, I think your pieces are beautiful, and I love that you're unapologetic about who you are and what you love.
Thank you so much x
Last year I literally had allergy to the "quiet luxury" term.. but now I calmed down (as it thankfully is slowly going away) and I realized that the people on social media make it hateable. When you see so many videos and people almost telling you that you should be doing this otherwise you are... almost stupid I would say, it gets on my nerves. But it is just a trend and I actually loved to learn about how "old money" people dress, it´s like a fashion history class? It´s intresting to me and I think if I ever happen to be around this type of peole I will be more prepared(?). I take it as a trend and for fun I might try to create a couple of outfits because fashion is fun and let us create a persona and live it for a day ;) Like you are not a princess but it´s nice to have an occassion to put on a ball gown and feel like a princess. But the problem is (I think) that some people take it too seriously and follow like a religon... try to fit in where they don´t belong because they think they should... and that´s bit a fashion issue but a psychological problem. Ps. I´m also on the loud and colorful side but I love playing with outfits and trying different styles :)
this is true, the constant pushing of it does push your buttons, i get this
Money is money - odd that people would care how or when you came by it or earned it!!
so true
like for me i borrow aspects of the "old money" aesthetic because certain aspects of it look good on me. but i'm going to add touches that fit my personality.
The idea that "poor" people buy from the big designers annoys me. you're not poor if your spending 2k-5k for a basic purse. not all of us have that generation wealth, but like we're not in poverty. the uber rich in england still buy from chanel, dior, hermes, etc. all these big brands basically depend on a split between the uber rich (either new or old) and the upper middle class.
I agree with this completely
Money can’t buy you class! I’d rather Be myself and enjoy my taste in fashion than try to be Fake and fit into someone else’s perception of life. I wish more people would raise their kids with good realistic values like you ❤. Maybe we would have better leaders in this world 🌎
Love this!
I enjoy your content very much and I don't care what you are.
I appreciate that
Hi Amelia, one pic made me laugh imo & allegedly one person has been outed for “deceptive behaviour”. If everyone had decent work ethics perhaps they could achieve more in life imho. It’s a tired cliche “old & new money” 🐂 💩. Stereotypes need to go out the window & we should be ourselves not aspire to some weird old concept. Great vlog Ty. Have a fabulous morning, afternoon or evening 😘💐🦘🐨🇦🇺
thank you so much!
The thing I find amusing is when you see all these videos about old money style etc is your clothes won't ever show how much money you have or in what neat category someone wants to put you in.... At some point in your life you will have sat next to one of the wealthiest people and you wont even have noticed/ remembered them. Style hasn't got anything to do with money directly. Just because you want to wear a louis vuitton speedy I don't think it makes you look rich, it just makes it look like you spent two grand on a handbag! And why shouldn't you! Its just expressing your individual style. I always notice peoples handbags and I think they tell stories, the truth is you don't know the story. Its very satisfying to save each month a buy your dream bag, If you could just afford anything the whole process would become less fun/ special. the best feeling it working hard and you knowing yourself you earned and can afford sed item! x
so very true
Old money new money MY MONEY is the best
lol yes!!
Yesss sis
thank you!
You're fabulous just the way you are.
Thank you x
Old Money I doubt would have the handbag collections that a lot of new money people do. The aristocracy is on a level of their own & a lot of them won’t be cash rich. Old money normally mix with old money
I agree, they do tend to
LOVE YOU & YOUR Channel!!!! I like what I like, that's it!!!
Thank you!
It’s also funny when people ascribe one look to a group of people because most groups are not a monolith. There are “truly wealthy” people who love luxury brands too 😂 Also, “old money” won’t accept someone just because they wear minimal logo-free clothing. If anything, they would value education and character more than someone’s “look.”
so true
I don't care what other people think. People have referred to me as being rich. I'm with you that I think being rich is having multi milliones. Or if being rich is having a huge heart, that's definitely me.
oh i love this
Maybe it’s more a European/American thing. In Australia as a baby nation (post colonialism) we don’t have old money… it’s still new - think Murdoch, Packer, Hancock…
We have lots and lots of old, old money!
Please don’t make me think of Murdoch.
Buy the bags you love!
yes!!
I feel the same way, like why do we have to dress like old money if we don't even have the money like that? Like why?😅 I can't with these kind of people. I hate watching videos telling me which one is classy and trashy also. 🙄
Dress how we love!
All old money was once new. I only care about the money I have and could care less about other peoples wealth.
Totally agree
i'm neither 'old money' or 'new money' im just spending money hahaha!
same!
Do people forget that so called old money was once new money? I work with very wealthy people and like any level in society some are great and some are not. They are not better because their bank account has more zeros than mine, they are just people.
Very true
If Louis Vuitton erased the monograms and their bag was just brown and the name was just the hardware, I'd be happier. They tend to put huge LV on some bags that are more simple but I swear that's not necessary. People see tiny stud earrings as much as they see the big studs. It's unnecessary to make the logos so big and obvious. It's tacky and that's nothing to do with old or new money.
Logos are definitely not for everyone
Oh my, this whole subject of wanting to look, and act like old money is such a "load of tosh"! Who wants to be a fake? Not me! You be you! We should celebrate who we are! 😮😂
absolutely agree!
Honestly I think that the great thing about having money is the freedom it gives you. Why should you or anyone change to be a member of a group that doesn’t allow you the freedom to be yourself but a carbon copy of what it is deemed acceptable?
Anytime I read that some luxury brand is for poor people pretending to be rich, it blows my mind that even nowadays with so many people struggling to cover the increase of living costs, some people seem to believe that a poor person has the disposable income to buy a 2-5 thousand euro bag.
i agree, the freedom and not worrying constantly about how to pay for things, i don't want to go back to that
It's just a way to bring out people's insecurities imo. Personally I would not wear luxury, quiet or otherwise, simply because it doesn't align with my values. The rare times I've experimented with buying something luxury, I actually felt embarrassed when I wore it or drove it. My mom was flashy in her style and she loved the spotlight. I don't. It's just personal preference.
Very true i think
I don't care if I'm old or new money, I just want to be money 😆
lol love this!
I think old money means quiet luxury
yes to an extent it is that aesthetic
What was or is your original career? Just curious what people do for work and do you love it? Always trying to give my kids good career ideas and choices for their future.
I work in professional services so not much help from me, but anything business/ finance/ legal goes in this world
OK… We more or less subconsciously dress how we like to see ourselves and how we want others to view us. As long as your style feels authentic to you, I don't think it matters if you present as new money, old money or no money.
Trying to fit in is hard work, it's much better to be yourself. People respond to realness. You can have great friendships even if you don't "fit in", or maybe because you don't.
I'm on the quieter side of luxury, but I don't look conservative or have that air of generational wealth. 🙃
Dress for ourselves x
@@ameliarosescloset - absolutely!
Trust me, this is just marketing to keep their social standing, and also to hide other disturbing or ugly truthes... First of all, mean dry hearts.
very true
My father was new money, a hard-working self made man. He wanted us to have everything in life so we grew up in a thoroughly old money environment and got old money education. I find it hilarious that people want to look like old money. Most are insecurity-ridden, have serious problems like everyone else and are not particularly stylish. Do some look chic? Sure. There's absolutely nothing special about old money people except for the vast privilege their money and circle afford them. And they'll never let you in if you cosplay them, if anything they respect you even less. Just be who you are, don't fantasize about other people's lives. You know nothing about them. If you want to have what old money people have? Go out and create your wealth, money talks.
your father sounds fab
@@ameliarosescloset he really is the best. Now that he's in his mid eighties, it's my turn to spoil him.
Old Money as Real Estate and Oil? New Money, as invention and patent? I wear both. I also wear low and high end on quality.
love this x
Old money or new money, just be authentic.
agreed
You know? Old Money only matters to those who actually have it. If a wing of a university, or hospital, or library is named for your family, you might be part of the club. In the US, are you FFV (First Families of Virgina)? Can you get into the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution)? Do you spend your summer in The Hamptons? Then you just might be a socialite!
Myself? I'm 'used to have money but still have cool stuff'. lol 😅
But for real? As far as styles go, I like certain aspects of that aesthetic if I feel like dressing down. Then the next day, I will be completely opposite. I go by what I like. Not 'aesthetic'.
Exactly this!
I wouldn’t apologise to ANYONE, if I come from money, or if I win the lottery, or inherit some money! People have to stop asking others to humble themselves just because they don’t want to work for it, don’t have the ability to…. Because when I was poor or when others were in poverty, nobody cares….
Yes!

This whole topic on old money/new money is so out of touch. AT LEAST WE HAVE MONEY. So many people in the world in the poverty/below poverty line that we should just be grateful we have that money at all. And these people dictating on Social Media and RUclips about how to dress old money, and how you are poor and cheap if you like logos--ARE NOT FROM OLD MONEY. So what do they even know except examples from Succession and the fact the likes of Bill Gates wears low key clothes. How immature can you be? It is destroying personal style--which is what it boils down to. There was a time when you actually had to buy Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, watch Sex and The City and that inspired you to find your own style. Now you have trashy Reels & RUclips videos of people who have no background in Fashion History / Fashion Editing trying to tell you what to wear. It's pathetic. Also, as someone who went to private school all my life in my country, "old money" aesthetic is more layered than that. I had classmates who were at the Top 1% wealthy circles who HAD to wear low key clothes because there were kidnapping issues. There's also people of old wealth who wear low key clothes when they are OUTSIDE to keep a low profile but dress differently when they are safely just around their own circles. This aesthetic also only works for the OLDER PEOPLE with old money. If you actually research what 1% wealthy kids in the Gen Z and Gen Alpha generation are wearing, some of them (not all) with Instagram profiles--they like to flaunt their logo bags just as we do because they are old money but YOUNG and have different tastes now too. All in all, this topic is incredibly immature and not well-researched at all. So don't even believe it. Embrace your own personal style!
Thank you! This was such an interesting insight!
The whole old money/new money thing is ridiculous. I was watching a video from You tuber So Anesu. It is called “Bernard Arnault needs to be stopped.....” Take a look and you can see an example of how the super wealthy spend some of their money. Yachts and champagne. People who do have generational wealth can waste a lot of money too. Seems to me like we are all human and most of us are trying to fit in, whether it’s aspirational and buying logos or blowing money on magnums of champagne.
oh i'll check that out, thanks
