The “Old Money” aesthetic-characterized by quiet luxury, neutral tones, and timeless elegance-has taken over social media. But you don’t need a billion-dollar inheritance to look the part; you just need the right accessories.
The “Old Money” Bag Checklist
- Logo-Free: This is the most important rule. Avoid loud monograms. “Old Money” whispers; it doesn’t shout. Brands like Hermes, The Row, or Celine (vintage) are the benchmarks here.
- Neutral Palette: Stick to cream, beige, navy, white, and brown. These colors mix and match effortlessly with linen shirts, cashmere sweaters, and trench coats.
- Top-Tier Materials: Since there are no logos to distract the eye, the leather quality must be impeccable. Look for grained leather (like Togo) or smooth Box calf that develops a patina over time.
How to Style It Pair a structured, brown top-handle bag with a white button-down shirt, high-waisted beige trousers, and loafers. Throw a cashmere sweater over your shoulders, and you have mastered the look.
