While the phrase “old money outfits” might have peaked last year, there are a few traits of stealth wealth dressing that will endure forever. After all, the essence of the movement was never about stockpiling as many beige Zara items as possible, but rather investing in timeless staples that can be worn and treasured for years and years to come. Items like a classic pair of loafers by The Row or an expertly crafted designer bag from Loewe instantly come to mind, but the list isn’t only relegated to high-ticket finds. Smart buys like an organic linen tunic by Eileen Fisher or handmade sandals from emerging label A.Emery will help you exude understated elegance for less than $200.
If you’re looking for ways to truly embody rich girl energy, we’ve gathered seven old-money outfits that deliver major inspiration below.
The Monochromatic Moment
When in doubt, look for interesting staples that don’t skimp on the details—like the contrasting ribbed stitching on Flore Flore’s tank top, the puddle finish on Helsa’s jeans, or the strappy silhouette on Simkhai’s sandals.

The Power LBD
Sometimes, all you need is a little black dress in your closet that can fit any and every occasion. It’ll feel brand new when you mix and match it with different accessories like a waist-cinching belt and different shoes. Here, Elsa Hosk shows us how it’s done with ballet flats, but white sneakers would be just as chic for casual moments.

The Smart Layers
Pairing a sweater with matching jeans is nice, but layering the knit with a contrasting striped shirt is even better. But don’t stop there; infuse a bit of color with a merlot-colored bag and stark white shoes—à la Julianne Moore.
