Forget loud logos and flashy trends. There is something conventionally new to the town that whispers of ancestral estates, leisurely tea parties, afternoon polo matches, yacht trips – the oh-so-coveted "old money" aesthetic. However, acing the old money aesthetic is not about flashy display of wealth. It's about quiet luxury, classic cuts and timeless colours that go beyond trends and fleeting fashion.



The key to getting this look? Mastering the art of building a capsule old money collection. Step one will be - TOPS. These are the wardrobe staples that say, "My family tree has more branches than Central Park," without screaming it from the rooftops.  So, ditch the neon and the bedazzled because it's time to cultivate that aura of effortless sophistication. 

  1. The Round Neck Knit in Blue: A luxurious blend that feels soft and rich in a rich but understated shade of blue, this top is the epitome of #QuietLuxury for your weekend gateways. Pair it with tailored trousers or jeans for a look that says, “I woke up like this (but actually put in a little effort)”.
  2. The Linen Slub Oversized Shirt: Effortless breeziness personified, the #Modestclothing staple, is perfect for summer days. The slub texture intrigues the visual sense, while the relaxed fit beautifully complements all body types. Throw it over the Linen Slub Trousers or linen white trousers for a breezy brunch fit. 
  3. The Grey Wrap Blouse: The ultimate chameleon in your wardrobe, this #OldMoneyAesthetic top can be dressed up or down. The wrap style gives this simple top a fancy touch, and the timeless grey hue goes with everything. It's your "One top, endless possibilities" MVP.
  4. The Green Button Down with Choker: Channel your inner Blair Waldorf with a touch of preppy playfulness. This top is a perfect blend of classic structure (button-down) and youthful whimsy (choker). Pair it with a pleated skirt for a day at the library or high-waisted shorts for a picnic in the park.
  5. The Black Tie Front Wrap Top: There's something undeniably alluring about a well-done black top, and this one takes it up a notch. The tie-front detail cinches your waist for a flattering silhouette, while the black hue exudes an air of mystery. This #DateNightDoneRight top is perfect for dinner dates, drinks with friends, or wherever you want to turn heads (without being too flashy).
