About this aesthetic

East-coast Ivy League meets European aristocracy. Classic American sportswear — polo shirts, blazers, loafers — worn with the ease of someone born into it.

Old Money style has its roots in early 20th-century American prep school culture and New England Ivy League universities. Retailers like Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren codified the aesthetic into a recognisable canon.
