To elevate simple outfits, these accessories should be added to the wardrobe for a bold 'old money' look.
Boxy handbags, no logos
Old Money style does not follow logos or temporary trends. It emphasizes meticulousness in every detail. A smooth, boxy leather bag in neutral colors such as black, brown, beige can be combined with all types of clothes from office to street while still maintaining a hidden elegance.
This year's fashion season, large boxy bags are a trend. In addition to smooth leather, suede is also favored by many women. A little metallic detail on the bag will also help elevate the outfit.
Slingback shoes
If you are looking for a pair of shoes that are both feminine and elegant, slingbacks are the perfect choice. With its distinctive open-toe design, thin back straps, and pointed or slightly rounded toes, slingbacks are elegant, light, and timeless.
A pair of nudes, black or cream slingbacks can be paired with any outfit: from trousers, skirts to straight dresses. In particular, smooth leather, suede, or tweed will make the shoes look more expensive without the need for a big brand.
Slim leather belt
In Old Money fashion, sophistication lies in the subtle but aesthetically weighty accents, and the slim belt is a typical example. This belt helps shape the waist, create a balanced shape, and bring a neat look.
Choose smooth leather, small, minimalist buckles (preferably smooth metal, no logo or a very subtle logo). The colors should be neutral, such as black, chocolate brown, beige, or ivory, to easily match with straight dresses, blazers, trousers, or oversized shirts.
Plain metal earrings
With a minimalist outfit, the highlight should only be the subtle details. A pair of shiny metallic earrings, no need to be expensive, can also help you look 'subtly rich' like the Old Money elite.
Hoop earrings or metal stud earrings will suit the minimalist classic style.
Classic silk scarves
Silk scarves are the 'secret weapon' of European aristocracy. Just tie them lightly around the neck, tie them on the strap of a bag, tie your hair, or drape them over your shoulder to make the overall outfit more delicate and gentle.
Choose classic patterns (stripes, small flowers, chains) and soft materials like satin or thin, smooth artificial silk, small in size, enough to create a highlight without being too fussy. The accompanying outfit should be as minimalist as possible in color and style.
