Basically, we were “old money” dressing in the 1980s. We wore cashmere, silk, black, white, tan, navy, gold accessories and were awesome.
I was thinking that. In the early 80s I was wearing khakis and fisherman sweaters and keds. Called preppy back then.
As an Italian wedding planner, the combo "white, blue and yellow" always reminds me of the beautiful Mediterranean - Amalfi Coast seaside atmosphere with lemons and everything
So dreamy ❤
What a dream! I can almost see it ❤
Funnily enough her blouse is called The Amalfi Stripe Silk Shirt.
Beautiful color combination.
I’ve been into this style for a long time, I wouldn’t even consider it a “trend”😀
Me too…. Crazy how once influencers jump on the bandwagon, everything we’ve been doing for yonks become trends
Also wearing my jumper over my shoulders is my main style during the spring and summer months especially with the variable temperatures and in the summer going from the heat into air conditioning. It’s a necessity! 👠❤️🇨🇦
Agreed!!! It just seems to have become so big on tiktok etc lately
Me as well 👍 and I had no idea it is called “old money” style 😂😂 I call it just good old classic 😉
Agreed - My grandparents dressed this way, my parents dress this way, I dress this way. Some call it Ivy Style, Preppy, or Classic. Nothing new and has been underrated for years (since the advent of reality television, frankly).
Glad you said “old money style” as a tongue in cheek phrase. At 63 this is the way most grownups I knew dressed regardless of where they were socioeconomically. For most people “ back in the day” you didn’t have a lot of discretionary income to spend on clothing so you chose carefully with what you purchased. Anyway great ideas and a look book would be nice. And the Lily Silk stripe shirt is great-I have it too.
I agree. I'm 55 and this is how people used to dress, these young people don't know what they are talking about.
Would love to see a video of old money dedicated to dresses for different occasions: weddings, ladies luncheon, date nights, charity events, in the workplace, casual travel, etc. I favor your style. Thank you!
This embodies my style, I love all the looks, I don't really find that money has anything to do with it. These are literally classic pieces that will last in your wardrobe and you wear over and over. That's the point of a good functional and stylish wardrobe. You can wear any accessory and it looks chic and timeless. What's not to love about that?
Isn't it the best choice if we can wear clothes for 10 months of the year? I like the basic design that doesn't go out of fashion to suit any situation!
Agreed this is simply called classic look. Not about old money. Been dressing like that for a while and not related to old money 😅
@@Petitemuslimah215 Yeah that's why it's called the "classic money" look 😝.
A look book on "old money" style would be great! What I love is that you feature items and outfits any age can wear and feel stylish and effortless! Thank you!
Last year it was the Coastal Grandma aesthetic, which includes a lot of the looks you are showing today. It appears that the "Quiet Luxury" label is to promote quality pieces that will stand the test of time. They are classics. I applaud you, Lydia for wearing jumpers over your shoulders. I have been wearing cardigans over my shirts, blouses and dresses for years now. It gets really chilly inside stores and restaurants here in Phoenix, so even in the over 100 degree temperatures, I throw that cardigan/jumper over my shoulders with confidence. I believe it can be coined a more "preppy" look. Loafers also fall under the "preppy" style - kind of Ralph Lauren styling. I love loafers and I love all the looks you are presenting today. As always, you look marvelous! Hope your cold gets better soon.
Yes, please! Would love to see a look book on this, as suggested 👍🏼
Noted 🥰💗
For such a young woman you are a wonderful ambassador for classic young fresh style. Love it 🥰
I feel the same, I always joked and said I'm a old lady at heart but there's something about this style bieng young that just makes sense to me
It makes her look 45. How old is she?
@@j.3779she looks like a well dressed 25 year old, maybe 26,27?
She looks to be about 50 or so.
Being in your 20s doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t like classic style - this isn’t uncommon, plenty of Gen Y people are dressing like this. I’m sure Gen X were dressing like this at her age, too.
Classy decorum ! Lydia I’m here in the USA and I wish woman would take more time to put themselves together . I can’t believe the sloppy and lazy look that has been showcased throughout the years . Sweatpants, p.J’s, slippers, work out clothes etc… not only out and about but very common in places of worship and the workplace. I appreciate you and other utubers ( influencers) bringing a classy preppy and dignified style awareness to a generation that has lost all sense of decorum. I can’t tell you how many young men even comment on the way young women are dressing ….trashy , to sexual and to sloppy ….keep up this positive and classy content.much love from sunny Florida USA
Yes! It is astounding, the way women present themselves in the United States, particularly these days. Almost every young lady looks the same as the next wearing these kinds of clothing in the name of comfort. I was walking in the park not too long ago, overheard some men discussing, one of these men said, “ I just want to find a woman who takes some consideration in how she presents herself.” Anything more like how I dress, it’s considered fancy and high maintenance. It’s just incredible how perspective has shifted so dramatically. I love looking back at old pictures and movies of how women would dress in trenchcoats and dresses just to go to the grocery store. It’s very refreshing and makes me long to see that again.
Knock it off, Judge Judy. Those days have gone. Thankfully.
@@ashlynnkaplan680 who cares what men think? Lol. I don't know any women who would dress according to whar men think. Both the comment above and your response reek of internalised misogyny. It's possible to enjoy what Lydia wears without running down other women in the process. Try it.
In a high end mall Sunday, noticing how many people looked like they just got up off the couch. Maybe women see the marketed images and assume they too will look that good in a cropped yoga bra and ripped butt cheek shorts, or baggy sweats and a really tight short tee with lots of... "stuff" popping out on all sides. Nope, they just end up looking frumpy. So many = a simple change up and she would look so pretty. They are cruising the mall with frumpy dudes, buying more of the clothing that doesn't flatter their bodies. It's really possible to NOT give up comfort & still look attractive. Some DO NOT CARE, and that's cool. But others DON'T KNOW, and wish to look better. This info is so valuable to that set.
I am in the U.S. too, and agree!!!
I worked in fashion showrooms in Paris for a few years on Rue Saint Honoré and this is actually the dress code that they mandate to the sales reps for most of the upscale brands! The nails were super important, and when you mentioned that later in the video, I was reminded of this. I am far away from that life now but these « rules » sort of haunt me til this day haha. You look so incredibly elegant and pretty and this aesthetic really suits you. ❤
Personally I’d love a look book/old money outfits. I like seeing how people style different pieces as I always gain new ideas
Yes please for more look books! I would love to see some spring and summer looks for this style please 😊❤️
Noted! ❤️
I LOVE all of these outfits. Quiet luxury is always my goal!
Often times, simplicity with the right combination of classic pieces and colors creates a very elegant aesthetic. I’ve always love this way of dressing … effortless chic is timeless. I love watching your videos because of your classic style Lydia!❤❤❤❤
This has always been my favorite esthetic and I don't even own a luxury item. I don't know what's making people so bent out of shape over this. No one is telling you to buy luxury. Just go for classic, more tailored pieces at your price range. It's what I've always done, anyways. I'm soooo on board with expending on the topic, Lydia!
Agreed! This is so true and hopefully I demonstrate that in the video too! Thank you and noted on more of these ❤️🥰
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson you certainly did! And I just gonna say that you've always embodied this style perfectly and I think you're the best style influencer out there, seriously. I follow a lot of influencers that keep doing Hermés and Chanel hauls, but you dress SO MUCH BETTER and classier than them, without going designer everything. Anyways, I just felt like saying that. Your videos have become unmissable. ❤️
Would love to see a Lookbook on these styles. They're perfect!! Especially interested in looks that incorporate long skirts.
I just found your channel about a month ago and I seriously see such a change in my looks and confidence. Thank you so much for your content! Your videos make a difference ❤
The striped blouse is so cute! I'm team "no jumper over the shoulders." Maybe it's just me, but it feels like the opposite of effortless because I have to move like the Tin Man to keep it from falling off. 😅
🤣
Yes expand! This is my favorite style. Thank you! ❤
I have been aiming for this look all my life! And I am now 67, and find this look is suitable for all ages. I do laugh when you say vintage being '90's😊 sadly I ditched alot of my big earings a good 30 odd years ago. Think Dallas and Dynisty! It has made me realise I should stick to my comfort zone and not try and keep up with all the new trends. Absolutly love your choices. Thank you.
67 here too! ❤
Such insightful, intelligent and practical style commentary and guidance as always. BRAVA, Lydia! 💐🥂
The black ankle pants, ballet flats, Chanel jacket, vintage earrings. Yes…love it!!!
Very interesting that when I searched old money outfits on Pinterest, quite many of your outfits popped up, you are a beautiful representative of this style, and I like how effortless and chic you look, so definitely would be interesting to see more videos on this topic. Thank you very much, Lydia 😍 on this information and inspiration, that you share with us in your videos ❤
Lydia this was wonderful, absolutely love classic styles.
I am so glad I found you. First, a jumper or as we call it, a sweater, over the shoulders has been something I've always done and I think it looks classy. It seems that finally fashion is going back to classics a bit in late 2023 and 2024 so I'll be stocking up for the decades ahead when fashion takes another weird turn as it always seems to. Classic, elegant, understated is beautiful always. Thank you so much.
This was the most helpful for clothing tips to date. I want all the clothes you modeled! I'm delighted that I found your channel.
I like your striped top. In menswear a wide stripe is referred to as a Bengal Stripe. I have worn them but now, I have two with narrowed blue stripes. The navy blazer can be worn with white or cream colored trousers for a nautical look, which I also wear. Being blonde, myself, I like a navy blazer that I can see is blue and not the bottomless blue black that is referred to in menswear as navy blue. Kaki trousers work very well with white shirts, pink and various shades of light or blue shirts. I choose mostly linen shirts in summer to help me to cope with the heat. Thank you for this video. Very well presented and a very interesting discussion.
Love lilysilk! You got me into them going into winter- the black joggers were a staple and I can’t wait for some summer pieces. Stunning as always
Lovely presentation of beautiful classics. My favorites! Thank you.
Beautiful, classic outfits! Thank you for your time!👠
This aesthetic is beautiful, one thing I’ve been told is no visible brand names showing.
Excellent video! Beautiful combination of clothes with wonderful suggestions. Love your content🌸
Fabulous look! Very much your style. I’ve got my eye on those beautiful silk blouses……
Thank you for inspiring us . And sure money has nothing to do with style . You can be stylish without being broke . It's all about attitude , how you wear your items and how you feel about them
I love your style. It is mine too😊. It is not for everyone but no matter what it is pleasing to the eye. I love the sweater in the shoulder, it’s practical but at the same time it is like an accessory; complete the outfit.
I would love if you created a look book on this quiet luxury theme. Thanks very much for all your work. Watching your videos is a quiet luxury for me. Best wishes from New York.
I’m with you, I often wear a jumper over the shoulders in Autumn or Spring. I also do it when I travel and I’m unsure of local weather patterns.
and again. My girl for chique classic styling with a fresh twist to suit all ages. You never fail.
Love a timeless classic style. Great video
Such a good video, thank you. I really like your style Lydia.
Yes, please expand on it and do the outfit Lookbook! I know I'd totally love it for sure❤
The names they give these 'trends' are so funny. I guess it's basically what posh people were wearing in the 80's, think the so called Sloane Rangers and Princess Diana/ Ralph Lauren classic styles. You looked so stunning in that halterneck top outfit x
Exactly it’s the opposite of new money the tacky labels and monogrammed gear
Agreed!! It’s definitely very 80s and early 90s which I love! And also a big nod to the 50s too! 💗 Thank you so much!
❤ loved this! I’d love to see more outfit ideas within the same theme.
Yes please, show us more old money looks! That would be great, thanks!
Love this video.Have always worn the classics and love quiet luxury!
The jumper over the shoulder is very American country club along with turned up collar old school American affectations.
Haha yes I can see that! Very European too!
If I had to follow just one influencer it would be you. You get it so right it’s like visual Valium!
Wow what a compliment!! I love the ‘visual Valium’ term 😂🤣 might have to steal that one haha! ❤️
I love and wear jumper over shoulders all the time. It’s just an extra layer if you need it without having to put it in your bag - practical!
A look book of old money style sounds great. I love that classic look and have always tried to dress that way. But you do it so much better. BTW, yesterday I received that navy and white stripped silk shirt from Lily Silk, it looks wonderful on. Wished I had waited for your discount. I got it at full price. Darn it! ;-) Thank you, Lydia.
Does it run true to size?
Lovely outfits and I must say your hair looks very chic today!
So kind, thank you ❤️
Just thinking the same thing! Would love a tutorial on how you style your hair like this.
I absolutely love all the looks. Please a look book on this style would be great.
Lydia, that was gorgeous! invariably. yes, a lookbook sounds like a very welcome idea
I like having a jumper over shoulders, but to me it doesn't look effortless but more try-hard. I still do it though😊
Me and my best friend (who's name is also Lydia lol) have been sooo into this style the past few years! I used to be called preppy, and people would say I dressed like an old lady... so its nice to see that more people around the world are starting to appreciate this type of look now! I feel less like an outcast lmao
Agree it's old lady from 30 years ago. It needs spicing up with just once fancier piece to keep it young, modern or more lux. My Gran used to dress like that, me at 50, I have the classic pieces, the blazer, cashmere wrap etc, but if I wore them together without a special piece encorporated, I'd just look frumpy and 10 years older. It looks ok on young girls but rather flat and blend in the room. After living in England and Paris, I think the Spanish had the nicest and classiest style. And they have fun with it, they're not scared of colours.
I absolutely love jumper over my shoulders, wear it all the time and love that look❤
Yes, people ! Would love to see a look book on this , as suggested.
Yes please more styles like this.
Yay noted! ❤
There’s been some research that shows that big, visible logos tend to fall out of favor during economic downturns. I definitely remember that being the case in 2008 (after crazy logo mania right before that!), and it seems to me like “quiet luxury” might be the current incarnation of this phenomenon.
I’ve always been a fan of this look. Love it!
Jumpers or AKA sweaters over your shoulders are more of a European thing - not so much in the US 😊
I’d say this has been my style now for about 8ish years. Can’t wear logos…it just kills me lol. Abut love good quality classic and somewhat preppy pieces. And yes…brown leather/tan. I for one, would love to see more ideas, this video is the best on the old money look I’ve seen. ❤
I wear a “jumper” over my shoulders a lot! I love all your looks!!!
Would you please do a video on old money style for holidays?
I so appreciate that you don’t wear those crazy long lashes that a lot of people are using. You embody classics style so well, Lydia!
I love that her makeup style is not Instagrammy/Kardashian style.
i love the chic elegant lady style! 🌷
This is the style I was looking for but didn't know what it was called. Thanks for this video, now I know what to look for when shopping.
Your suggestion of outfit looks/ look-book would be fun & fab! Thank you for the work you put into your style and sharing/ teaching us. What you do matters because image helps with self-esteem. Also, presenting ourselves well in society helps with job interviews, being professional in our career, and attracting quality people in our life. Even though it is said we should not judge a book by its cover, we all do since what we see is our very first impression. Again, thank you for what you do to contribute to a more elegant and tasteful society.
😅 18:31

Love your style, As regards the jumper-over-shoulders look, I think it seems a bit contrived over a coat or jacket like you want to make sure everyone can see it or worse it won't fit under your overcoat but you're too cold to go without it. If the jumper is just slung over a shirt (no coat involved) it looks as though you are simply too warm at the moment.
My thoughts entirely.
Very interested in old money style, please give more tips to follow. Thanks for sharing with us!
Jumper over the shoulders! I'm old money without even knowing it 😍 Beautiful style and beautiful pieces!
A lot like classic french style: what we call BCBG (bon chic bon genre) navy blazers, loafers, sweaters over the shoulders, mariniere (striped top) Items that have been the "french style" for years and years!!!!!!
Oh I love that term - never heard it before! But yes, it’s definitely got the classic French look to it
I’ve been into this style for many years that includes hairstyles. I don’t do that messy bun thing. The problem I have is trying to find quality clothing that doesn’t have strings sticking out all over the place like the fast fashion industry. You could go to a typical department store years ago and get quality clothing today. It just looks like crap I stick to J, Jill, Chicos, and Talbots, because I like quality at a reasonable price I am not willing to spend two to $300 per outfit
Lovely and nice design.
I love the Sweater over the shoulder look...most people would tie a loose knot in front which was popular in the 80s and 90s a bit dated now..but I've been wearing it as the way you show it on this video which has a nice updated smart classy look..
Thank you for this video! I absolutely love the "old money" style. Please do more look books. Have you considered including alternatives? I'm a student, so I can't always pay for the more "expensive" pieces.
i often find classic pieces when i thrift! & the fabrics are often really sturdy. for newer/cheap clothes, people have mixed opinions of H&M but i tend to shop there if i need something newer/specific because they have a relatively classic style to their clothes!
Ladies west what makes you feel good about yourself. Quiet or loud wear ; I feel beautiful in both 😊
Yes pls do more on this topic.. a lookbook would be great 👍
yes please Lydia, expand on this topic! Would love to see more. ♥
The term “quiet luxury” is so annoying especially now that every wannabe “fashion influencer” is using it (I’m talking about those inauthentic people who never had this style but are just now jumping on the trend).
I love when people wear real watches NOT smart watches, smart watches destroy a look
I Agree!! They look so ugly😬
Hate them cannoy live without them 🥹
I feel the opposite. I think regular watches look very outdated. I think the band is often what ruins the outfit because a lot of people have bright colored bands that don't match what they're wearing. The neutral colored bands look a lot better.
But I need to close my rings 😢😢😢
i feel the same way. Don't like smart watches, never did.
Yes, please! Would love to see a look book on this, as suggested
Lydia, this really is your style. It’s not even a trend. It’s 100% a style for those of us who know how to embody this look and aren’t into it just because it’s currently “trending”
I love it classy, minimal and timeless, because I think it's chic and sustainable. But I find the term "old money" quite disturbing, because I don't think it is about pretending something, I'm not. Like you say, one can get it for a lot less money. Also I don' t like it too preppy, because I think, it' s snobbish - that's why I also don't like the jumper over the shoulders 😉
Haha yes I agree - and that’s why I said the term in inverted commas and said that it’s just for a bit of fun! I find the term quite funny actually! I think it should be taken with a pinch of salt as a name, but I personally love the overall aesthetic!
I truly love your channel. Keep doing the best work
You’re so inspiring. Thanks to you, I finally found my style.
More quiet luxury outfit ideas please!
Team QUIET LIXURY❗️I think most ppl got offended because the trend is branded as “quiet lux” as if, if you like color you just pretending to look rich not the ACTUAL RICH. Well, I think the ppl in tiktok just took it lightly didn’t mean to dig deep how one suppose to dress to look truly rich LOL. Then so many color-lover ppl in KZhead doing these justification videos. Oh no. I don’t think so. Etc. So many. I think the term should be just : SIMPLE & CLEAN STYLE. Instead of Quiet Lux/Old Money Style 🤣 Jumper ard the shoulder for some ppl just ‘trying so hard old money look’. Tht’s a No for me. But if you actually wear it not just for style tht’s absolutely no problemo 😊
Lol
You are a wonderful ambassador for classic young fresh style ❤
yess please, old money outfit ideas!!! 💗 great video
Can I get old money instead of old money style?
😂😂😂
Real "old money" would rarely spend the type of money The Row and Khaite charge for good quality clothing. Old money is a LOT more frugal than people seem to think. Old money is quiet but instantly recognizable. New money is loud, rarely tasteful, and the point, very often, is HOW MUCH everything cost and there's nothing subtle here
Yes please the look book would be excellent. Love the look. Your make up and hair is gorgeous. Any make up tips would be very welcome 🕊
❤❤My favorite Old Money Clothing Style ❤❤ Thank you for sharing
I know this is a trend i mean the word “old money,quiet luxury “ now but it’s so cringed😖😖
Yes which is why I said it’s a bit tongue in cheek! 🙊 I agree!
Hello lovely Lydia, I would love to see the next video about vacation outfits for tropical if it's possible. For example, how to pack or how to choose the outfits for day and night, etc. It is very helpful specially the one that "What you wore in Barbados", one of my favorite. Look forward to see the next one like that. Thank you in advance 😊
Love all of these outfits...all looks great
Would love a video on shorts outfits! Love your channel on classic, chic fashion.
Love this look! Understated - no 'in your face' labels. As a style reference, I'm reminded of Grace Kelly in the classic film 'High Society'. Oozes timeless elegance 👌!
