Exactly. Hau Chic's comparison is an apples and oranges kind of thing. Ergo- not a true or equitable comparison. Logos are always a no go.

Funny how people think you can dress old money to be perceived as rich. I went to a private school and you can immediately tell someone else is from a wealthy background more so with their speech, enunciation, white straight teeth, manners, overseas education, etc. Growing up my parents always focused on looking polished and well kept, which I guess is what others with money are trying to do as well, not some aesthetic to mark they are from old money

I'm all for the move towards quiet luxury. For so long 'luxury' brands have been inflating their prices yet there's been a massive decline in quality of the materials and craftsmanship. Most 'luxury' boutiques are filled to the rafters with overpriced tat emblazoned with logos. Once you cut through the savvy marketing tricks, there is nothing special about it. If the quiet luxury trend continues, a lot of these companies are going to have to up their game and actually deliver in terms of quality.

This!!!! It cannot be emphasized enough how great of a drop there has been in quality.

No matter the economy I say no to logos. I was brought up by a southern mom and it was drilled into my head that less is more and you don’t need to shout with your clothes. For my mom it was all about being tasteful, she wore color but done in as she termed it “tastefully”. I think the quiet luxury thing is hilarious, because while we were far from being rich it was just the way most of the adults I grew up with dressed and I continue to do.

I do agree with being tasteful about how you dress! I do think we can take the benefit of embracing quiet luxury to have bigger access to nicer basics in our wardrobe, but when it does come to styling it, it does need to be tailored to you, whether you need a pop of colour somewhere or some either dainty, sparkly or nice gold jewellery, it really does depend on what compliments you and make you feel at your best ^^

As someone who falls under "old money" (at least in the US sense), I'm very confused by "old money aesthetic" and "quiet luxury" (hence why I'm searching for explainers), because everyone I know who's like me just kind of wears whatever polo shirt they grabbed out of their closet and whatever jeans or slacks were on top of the pile.

I grew up in New England, and I love quiet elegance. I refuse to purchase logo items. I find excellent quality without having Versace, Fendi, etc. I learned from my aunt's. One aunt would have me come over and go shopping in her closet. She had some amazing fashions. She was ahead of her time!

Quiet luxury is leather shoes, silk or cashmere scarves, simple jewellery and clean well maintained understated clothes. Woman that look classy to me always seem to have manicured nails with clear polish, clean styled hair, white straight teeth & not overweight.

Old money rich people don't care enough. They don't need to prove anything. If they don't want people to know they have money, they will wear freaking Old Navy cause that's just how much they don't care. They don't care about anyone's opinions, because they know where they come from and their social status. They really don't need to "quietly show of their money with quiet luxury items." They just don't.

I think you missed two points: 1) the Old Money aesthetic can be a lot more CONSERVATIVE than Quiet Luxury. By that I simple mean: less display of skin. QL still has room to show off some skin. The OM look, however, doesn't really. Case in point: how the royals dress, vs how Rosie Huntington Whitely dresses (I prefer Rosie, tbh, I'm not bashing her. Just saying.) 2) Old money groups like the royals DO have an overlap with QL, it just depends on the occasion. The coronation isn't a great example because it's a huge event. On a more day-to-day basis, Princess Catherine, for example, dresses a lot more low-key and doesn't have huge fabulous jewels on. She also wears a lot of colours. There IS an overlap, but I think that for special occasions, the gap becomes more visible.

Wear what you like and be yourself ! All plein Janes out there are talking about this trend. It’s hilarious 🤣

I didn’t know that there is a term for how I dress. Quiet Luxury is just so easy to style because of all the neutral colors. Saves me a lot of time.

Whatever the differences, they're irrelevant to me: I'm poor.

Another factor is crime (which I guess is also related to the economy), especially in places like London where people are being held up in broad daylight, people wearing loud obnoxious logos are just making themselves targets. Ironically the people wearing the biggest logos tend to have the least lol Dressing in an elegant manner isn’t about standing out, it’s about being remembered.

I'm probably missing the luxury point but I dress in this style but buy my clothes second hand from vinted. There's plenty of new/barely worn linen and beautiful fabrics out there.

It's called timeless for a reason. Basically it's the sum of what managed to last - in contrast to trends that come and go. It may increase in popularity and become mass compatible from time to time, but, well, that's what eventually happens to what is around for long enough time. And when the popularity decreases again, it's not the end, but just back to normal. Trends - on the other hand - emerge, and after a while they die. And when they're gone, they're gone. Until they perhaps get re-discovered and experience a revival. That doesn't make quiet luxury synonymous with old money, but both share the same kind of life cycle. In the end, time will tell. Labels just pitch. Just one thing about the style of the royals: The flashy, overdone stuff is not really representative for their style, for it's their workwear. In private, tweed and barbour are also here more common. What the royals wear, when they wave from a balcony, is just like what Gus Fring wears, when he welcomes guests in one of his restaurants. In private his style is far more sophisticated.

"old money aesthetic" is just classic style, prove me wrong 😂

Quiet luxury is just minimalism under a new name.

Old money doesn't necessarily shy away from logos and flashiness, it's just that the logos are timeless brands that are old themselves and the flash has a purpose and is of high quality. And sometimes the logos might not be as known so it comes off as quite luxury. Items may have even been passed on for old money and be old themselves. You also don't want to draw attention to yourself when the socio-economy isn't doing well as you don't want people to be attacking you as well. Things have to be cycled as people get bored as well. Loud gets irritating after a while and if the goal for some is to stand out and b unique once everyone is being bold you can get lost in the crowd and to stand out you gotta simplify. But everyone doing that for too long can also become too boring and cause people to want to see more creativity in designs. So, it will all cycle.

What a beautiful well done video! I love how you linked the cycles of the economy to the expression of fashion. I study the cycles of astrology and in a few months we will shift from Capricorn ( economic structure bug buisness hierarchy snd status) to Aquarius ♒️ ( community technology humanity ai) I think we will see a drastic shift in how we approach fashion and asthetics… maybe even having technology incorporated clothing?

so basically, quite luxury can be old money but old money doesn't necessarily have to be quite luxury.

Many fashion folk lack knowledge of history and don't know that certain fabrics and colors were, for most of human civilization, ONLY available to those with wealth. Think of expensive furs before. Today silk and the color purple are accessible to most. There is NO difference between quiet luxury because other than for particular ceremonies with those traditional heirloom items those born into wealth also tend toward classic, classy pieces made metticulously of quality material. These labels themselves are just the new names for classic timeless fashion. Mostly just a marketing ploy for young minds. Old money is old and luxury has been around for thousands of years, before these marketing labels. 🙄 Mostly this is a reaction to the tacky trends and the debasement of classiness, regardless of wealth level, standards and value, pushed by media, entertainers and their ilk. Even Paris Hilton reverted back to her old money after a rebellious youth.

This trend happened before 1930 after stock crash. , in the 90s , and now again . Not new

You have money and power (real estate/politic/finance) and you have money and culture. Old money have normally culture (and style/refinement). The kids from these families are often hip and modern og super sophisticated. The less money the more old fashioned the kids are. My experience. Its not so easy as it seams - for an outsider...

Growing it 'no logos' we a part of my dress code. My parents never policied how long my skirts or shorts were but they did not let me wear sweatpants/sweatshirt outside the house unless I was sick, no logos unless the company paid me (hard for an 8-year-old to get puma as a sponsor) (outdoor brands for camping like MEC, REI & patagonia were ok though, but it's camping not a runway) and it could not be wrinkled (If it was I was would to iron it or change).

The important thing is being original and confident... If a person try to create her image only with random logos instantly became soulless hanger... so if you want to be classy and chic you must show of yourself and give hints about you in your combines. don't copy the logos and image of fashion companies 😊

I’m going to wear logos and quiet luxury. The irony is that any Asthetics are indicative of exclusivity and signaling. You don’t become rich by being quiet luxurious. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

You've just proved it's the same thing. When it comes to these terms, people only talks about appearance. Most of the pieces of quiet luxury holds the same enduring style and quality that those worn by old money guys. Besides, old money crowd tries to blend in a bit.
