0:22clothes and there's four ground rules

0:23that you need to follow if you want to

0:25achieve this aesthetic firstly forget

0:27about any large logos forget about

0:57building your wardrobe firstly you're

0:58going to need an array of pants

1:00specifically suit pants and trousers you

1:02want to look for ones with buttons

1:04pleats or side adjusters as these look

1:06the most classy and as for how many

1:07colors you should get guys buy as many

1:09as you can possibly afford as I've said

1:11before pants make the biggest difference

1:13in your outfit and when it's time for

1:14your more casual situation you can

1:16always go for a well-tailored Chino I

1:23some elegant polos once again keeping it

1:26neutral and fitted and as you can see

1:32pattern I've got this maso Duty one that

1:34has a rib textured as well as this other

1:37one from MMO Duty that has a cable knit

1:39design all very classy looking polos and

1:43one thing to note is that texture is

1:44completely fine to play around with it

1:46actually adds some Elegance to the Polo

1:47so don't feel afraid to play with

1:49textures just avoid anything with big

1:50logos next we have fitted t-shirts and

1:53obviously you've got lots of options

1:55when it comes to this you could go for

1:56one with a cable knit design like this

1:58one from Massimo Beauty which I think

2:01exudes Elegance it's got that beautiful

2:03texture you could also go for a thicker

2:05t-shirt that has more of a sweater-like

2:07material for a more premium look next

2:09you'll need some button ups and some

2:11button Downs linen linen linen you need

2:14some linen shirts for the summer time

2:16guys obviously if you're just going to

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

2:45or cashmere don't go cheap on this area

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

3:01absolute essential for the winter time

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

5:20and that's why you should subscribe if

5:21you haven't already cuz I'm going to be
