Old Money: Timeless Elegance

In today's world, fashion has become not only a matter of clothing style but also a means of expressing a lifestyle. While the fashion world constantly evolves, some styles are shaped by the passage of time and become classics. One of these timeless styles that has been making waves in recent months is the "Old Money Style." This style, keeping a pulse on the fashion scene, represents a classic, timeless, and measured approach rooted in wealth and elegance. The term "Old Money" refers to deep-rooted wealth passed down through generations within families. These families have typically sustained their existence throughout history and passed down their legacies to future generations. In Turkey, being a relatively young country, encountering this definition is not common. However, since the Republic era, we can still say that families with wealth passed down through generations exist. "Old Money" is used to describe families in the upper social class who attach great importance to traditions.

In contrast to the "New Money" style introduced into our lives by many iconic figures of the 2010-2020 world, such as the Kardashians, Old Money defends quality simplicity. It advocates for classic and clean lines, carefully selected pieces, and a simple color palette. Elegance and craftsmanship take the forefront. The materials used in clothing pieces are often high quality and durable. Quality materials such as natural fabrics, leather, and wool are frequently used in this style. It focuses on timeless pieces not influenced by the rapidly changing trends of fashion, embodying a classic and measured style that never goes out of fashion. The Old Money style often emphasizes pieces with a family heritage. These heritage-based items may include jewelry, clothing, or other accessories passed down from previous generations. Old Money style is not only about clothing but also associated with social responsibility. It would not be wrong to say that those who embrace this style are sensitive to sustainable fashion and ethical consumption.

We can show Princess Diana and other members of the royal family to exemplify this clothing style.
