When we want to look like “old money,” here are some outfits from society moms that you can take inspiration from!

Classic, elegant, and simple — these three virtues are the pillars of styling outfits like “old money.” We love the styles of icons like Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, Jane Birkin, and many others because although they were well-off, they didn’t flaunt those riches. They had a dignified aura around them which made even basic clothes look classy. And these society moms prove that these old-money outfits are still chic and timeless.

1. The neutral trench coat look

The trench coat has become a staple in many old money outfits that most people often bought them in black, gray, or brown. Entrepreneur Bianca Elizalde styles her mid-length dark brown trench coat with a light inner top and white tapered jeans. And to top off the look, she walks in her leopard-print flats to add personality to it.

2. The sleeveless white top and jeans

Sleeveless white tops are a must for old-money casual chic outfits. Entrepreneur Beauty Gonzalez once visited an art gallery in a sleeveless white top, and black slacks with matching slides. She also kept the accessories simple with just a gold necklace, layered bangles, and a gold ring.

Princess Diana also sported the same look, wearing a full white outfit composed of a sleeveless top and jeans.

3. Button-up tops and jeans

Collared button-up tops are no longer just for the office. Made with cotton or linen, some stores have created button-up tops to be more breathable. Nowadays, moms can pair it with jeans and their favorite slides. Lucy Torres Gomez is one mom who favors a classy and comfortable polo for her OOTDs.

4. White blouse + printed skirt

The white blouse and printed skirt never fail, especially if it’s a flowing skirt. Back in the day, most casual skirts were at least knee length and with prints to avoid looking too formal. Xandra Rocha-Araneta follows this philosophy by wearing a lantern-sleeved white blouse with a knee-length printed skirt and teardrop earrings.

5. Wrap Dresses

Wrap dresses became an icon in the 1970s, symbolizing the liberation of women. It also became popular because of how easy it was to put on and style, leaving us a lot of leeway to choose which accessories to wear. This old money outfit is something that interior designer Cyndi Fernandez-Beltran favors, styling her wrap dress in the timeless white and black polka dot pattern.

Old money outfits never lose their flair!

These society moms prove that these old money outfits can still command a crowd because of how dignified the style looks. Those who descended from old money often grew up with traditional values like modesty and a quiet kind of confidence, frowning at those who flaunt their wealth. When we live around money, we soon realize wealth of character truly matters more.
