00:00 Introduction

Between clips on Tiktok and reels on how to master the “Old Money” look to the popularity of shows like Succession, it seems like “Old Money” as a concept is everywhere these days.

With all the hype, you might be wondering "what does Old Money actually mean? and "how does it relate to Classic Style?" Because, at first glance, they certainly seem extremely similar.

01:00 “Old Money” as a Concept

“Old Money” refers to family dynasties that benefit from inherited wealth from which they derive status, influence, and significance. Technically speaking, “Old Money” is distinct from a noble aristocracy in which privilege is derived from noble birth and titles.

02:20 The "Old Money" Aesthetic

It is distinct from, but obviously related to, Old Money as a concept. It is essentially the cultural perception of what Old Money wears that is informed by historical realities but also contemporary assumptions.

05:00 OMA Hallmarks: 1. Subtle and Unassuming
06:01 2. Memorable
06:33 3. Timeless
07:11 4. Quality
08:09 5. Personal
09:15 6. Lifestyle Oriented
10:10 7. Effortless
11:03 8. Appropriate
12:14 9. More Formal
13:09 10. Inherited

14:18 Classic Style, Old Money: the Same?

It’s clear that broad OMA draws extensively from Classic Style with the result that most Old Money looks are very typical of Classic Style. But the terms definitely are not interchangeable. Largely because Classic Style encompasses a much larger range of styles than just OMA.

17:25 Conclusion

While the Venn diagram between OMA and Classic Style has considerable overlap, the terms are not interchangeable. And some important factors do distinguish them.
