In 1984 at only 21 yrs old, I worked as a live-in nanny with a very wealthy family and my fashion style was set for life. A few other critical pieces: classic leather handbags, gold hoop earrings, bangle bracelets, and manicured nails. Quality fabrics that are properly maintained are critical, and always quality over quantity. I always feel my best when I follow these style guidelines.

I like this style because it's appropriate everywhere. You're going to be ok whether you're just going to the office or meeting the mayor.

I love how simple the “old money” style is. ❤

[kimberlyperrotis]

Definitely, good leather footwear, belts and handbags are a must for this look. Silk scarves, too. I love this look because it’s classic and timeless. My inspiration is Ralph Lauren in the late 70s and early 80s. A good windbreaker, I like white, and boating shoes or clean white sneakers, are essential for boating. I’m always ready with these if I get offered a day’s sailing on chilly San Francisco Bay!

[juliemoore]

I've always loved this look. It feels like a re-take on the old "preppy" style and definitely "classic " style.

A grey blazer is an alternative for those who don't like black. It's very classic and it goes well with black, white, navy, blue, army green, brown and probably many other colours. A well cut blazer in the colour army green that does not contain to much yellow, can give a very elegant effect, that darker army green colour is a neutral and goes very well with black, grey, cream, and any shade of beige, khaki or taupe.

Thank you Anna. I have a capsule classic wardrobe. I wish I would have known all this information when I was younger because I had a hard time when I got to my 40s on what to wear I had gained a little menopausal weight and was about 20 pounds heavier than I am now, these YouTube videos have really helped me, get that classic old money look. I am not old money I’m old and have money. Ha ha ha😊

[palomahealing]

Old Money style is what they used to call, "Preppy" in the 70s & 80s. And I grew up around that style!👌

[sherrys]

The Ralph Lauren cable knit sweaters I love, I've got a few of them .
But anyone thinking of buying them, then definitely size up, they run somewhat small . Just an Fyi 😊

[ritastutler]

Two Anna videos close together..love it. Loved all your styles but thought of my mom ( she died at the age of forty nine) she always told us girls if you don’t wear any thing else wear lipstick. She had black hair, was Italian and only had red lipstick and it looked fabulous on her. I used to not buy button downs but since losing a little weight they don’t gap in the bust and I have enjoyed buying some new ones, especially a gauzy white long sleeve shirt I really like. Thanks Anna.

I would add: white jeans and a white knit, collared “polo” top. The collar elevates the style from a t-shirt, but is just as comfortable. We have cool, foggy mornings and sometimes evenings in the summer, so I continue wearing blazers, but unlined cotton or linen ones, or those with cotton or rayon linings, not poly. I always feel good in a blazer, they add structure to my straight shape and help me fake a waist.

[MyLifewithGuitar]

Thank you, this is my everyday style as well. These are the pieces I need: pure wool cable knit sweater, tailored shorts, white dress and nude sandals.

[tabetharuple]

Hello Anna! Love your content & tips. As we are entering the sweltering heat & humidity of the South for 2023, can you do a video on style in extreme heat? It is a challenge to find daily wear items that keep you cool that are not crop tops/ beach attire etc and are fashionable. Transitioning from outdoor heat, to freezing cold AC (especially restaurants) is also a concern here in Florida. Thank you in advance.

[kuskuse]

I agree with all the things you listed. I think for me, the old money style is also all about the materials. Wool, cashmere, silk, leather... Well coordinated colours with a colourpop sometimes, but nothing that's screaming in your face.

[camillemcconnell]

Don't forget a classic, stylish pair of black sunglasses to top off any "old money" esthetic 👍❤

[Jenesis]

I love your presentation, always kind and fun and practical. I was very much preppy back in high school and college in the early 80’s. Polo shirt, Guess jeans, boat shoes, leather ballet flats, tennis sweater, wool blazer were staples.

A few weeks ago, Goodwill On-line had tons of great trenchcoats available.

[tibbyl]

I finally invested in a platform wedge sandal to replace my flip flops. Not only do I look better but they are 100 times more comfortable than flip flops!

[emilyevans]

The colors I love to wear are black, white, gray, navy, and a little red. Normally, I don’t choose patterns. This spring I broadened my horizons. I just ordered a few pieces of Lilly Pulitzer. They look fun and summery. We’ll see how it looks!
