Ignore all other replies in this thread

The whole point of old money is that it’s not a state of being that just anybody can acquire. It’s not a matter of taste or strategy, it’s a matter of being born with so much money and prosperity that you’re simultaneously uninterested in showing off, but also used to the absolute highest quality of product. That’s why the aesthetic has nothing to do with particular brands or designers, as much as Ralph Lauren would like to convince you. People in this strata get everything custom made. Almost everything they wear is extremely high quality, probably tailored, and likely not replicated on some clothing rack somewhere.

Tldr you can’t bullshit your way into looking like someone who can order a new $1000 pair of shoes every day of the year, and not even feel it

I know this sounds plausible but I am casually acquainted with an old industrial family in the "our whims affect the trajectory of western consciousness" tier, and while your point about being indifferent to clothes as a status symbol has some truth, the reality is they wear completely boring normie clothes most of the time, and don't seem to think about it at all. They simply don't have any coherent sense of what money is "worth" that would jive with what a normal person would think. They do pay lip service to it, like they will order the $150 wine and not the $200 wine apparently to seem "normal" while being fully conscious that nobody normal orders $150 wine. They'll bicker about an RMA for some toy they bought online that you or I could afford easily, and then absentmindedly mention that they bought an aircraft (which they don't need and don't appear to have any real desire to own).

Basically all the obsession normal people have over money and acquiring things and whatever, doesn't exist for them, they understand that being cost conscious is something you are "supposed" to do but they obey those rules the way you or I might obey the rule that says you're supposed to put your knife and fork in a certain position on the plate. They do it because "you're supposed to" even though it can't possibly make any real difference, whereas you and I do it because it will have a material impact on our wellbeing.

That is the indifference that you can't cultivate and even if you try you just look like you're obsessed with money and status even more.

The 'old money aesthetic' is just another iteration of what dark academia was a couple of years ago. Just regular european clothes associated with wealth, prestige and some mysticism. Which is pretty easy to achieve, there are tons of brands doing that

If by old money you mean families that were feudal lords or royalty back in the day then you can trace down their young members online and stalk them on instagram or other social media to see what they are up to, most of them probably live a life similar to what celebrities like cara delevigne (before the drug shit) live , of course mixed with some formal events only those in the know can participate in, the older generations are just fat guys who golf a lot go on boat trips, probably don't give much of a shit about fashion but still have tons of bespoke suits that cost like $50k or whatever

I also grew up poor and worked my way up, but consider that that has been true for many people in history and their descendants squandered it. Old money is defined as a consistent level of performance down the family line. Its also quite impressive and not something to turn your nose at.

This. They have a fundamentally different value structure than the nouveau riche or merely well off and it's damn near alien. The only thing they really value are heirlooms, it's a very dynastic frame of mind. Grandad's beater Rolex that he wore on a safari holds more value than the stable of dress watches. American nobility also have different concerns than their landed and titled counterparts in Europe. Different bubbles follow different trends and there are layers of microstatus at play.

The part about being aware of of the game and the absurdity of it rings especially true. There's this very real desire not to be seen as an eccentric that paradoxically makes them eccentric as fuck because they have no normal frame of reference. Having a larp suit for driving and a fencing vest is normal to them.

What new money gets wrong is trying to project and display status; there's no need when you wear a name. Also >>17491136 is on the money, you're a curio to them. They don't really relate unless you share a passion and even then "friends" are more like potential business partners.
