1:49textures just avoid anything with big
1:50logos next we have fitted t-shirts and
1:53obviously you've got lots of options

2:17buy one go for a white one and as for
2:19fit go for a regular fit or a slim fit
2:22depending on your body type also you'll
2:24want some striped button UPS or button
2:26Downs they're typically going to be
2:27white with navy those are the ones that
2:29look the best and you also need a few
2:31Oxford shirts as well for your really
2:33formal occasions next you'll need some
2:35sweaters and I say sweaters guys because
2:36hoodies don't exist in the old money
2:38aesthetic sorry hoodie lovers the
2:40sweater is going to be your ultimate
2:41layering item this is where you want to
2:43choose higher quality Fabrics like wool

2:48look at cable knit crew sweaters like
2:50this one from abber Combi or Ralph luren
2:52also thin sweaters like the cashmere one
2:55to put a dress shirt under and we cannot
2:57forget about the classic quarter zip
2:59sweater like this one from everlane

3:03and the fall time if you're trying to
3:04achieve this old money aesthetic now
3:06onto your coats and I haven't replaced
3:07mine yet since the fire so we're going
3:08to use Alex as an example you want to
3:10wear something that is tailored and
3:12structured like what you're seeing him
3:13wear and when it comes to buying one you
3:15want to buy a wool one and it's actually
3:17relatively easy to find one on a budget
3:19you can go to the thrift store I see
3:20them there all the time you can buy one
3:22for 50 bucks and take it to your tailor
3:24and make it look absolutely perfect next
3:26you'll need the holy Grill of Elegance
3:29the suit every guy needs a suit in their
3:31Arsenal picture yourself in a
3:32well-tailored black Navy or gray suit
3:35pulling up into a room ladies just
3:36throwing themselves at you cuz you're so
3:38freaking sexy well that's what I like to
3:40think would happen but assuming most of
3:42you guys are on a budget and you can't
3:43afford a Tom Ford suit I would go look
3:45in suit supply suit supply has lots of
3:47options when it comes to nice tailored
3:48items and also higher quality Fabrics as
3:50for footware consider a classic leather
3:52penny loafer or an Oxford for more
3:55formal occasions and both black and
3:57brown second you'll need a loafer
3:59sneaker as it provides a classy yet
4:01convenient option for the Casual outing
4:03thirdly don't forget to get yourself a
4:05pair of birken stocks so you can wear
4:07those to the beach without socks of
4:08course and if you prefer sneakers make
4:10sure that you opt for a slim white
4:12leather sneaker don't go for an Air
4:13Force One or a new balance 550 those are
4:15far too chunky now for the finishing
4:17touches accessories firstly you'll have
4:19to get yourself a watch and if you want
4:21to go for a true old money aesthetic you
4:23want to go for something with a leather
4:25band and a small face Think cardier Tank
4:28style and I assume majority of you guys
4:30can't afford a cardier tank so there's
4:32lots of other options that share the
4:33exact same style like the long jein DOL
4:36Vita the orus rectangular the Seiko sub
4:39880 and the Hamilton Bolton all at
4:41different price ranges now let's talk
4:43about belts you'll need two belts a
4:45black and a brown one that's going to
4:46cover all of your different occasions
4:47remember to keep the buckles sleek and
4:49minimalistic this isn't a UFC
4:51championship belt that you're trying to
4:52wear it's supposed to be something that
4:54just complement your outfit and last but
4:55not least eyewear so you can protect
4:57your eyes from the dazzling wealth the
4:59Rayband Club Master eras W farers
5:02tortoise shell frames aviators or round
5:05glasses are ideal just make sure that
5:07you're avoiding any of the new trendy
5:08designs like the pr ones really thick
5:10chunky ones you don't want any of those
5:12guys now achieving the old money
5:13aesthetic isn't just about dressing well
5:15it's about the entire package you have
5:17to have good skin good hair a good body
