So many aesthetic trends have taken social media by storm, including cottagecore, Barbiecore, mermaidcore, and gorpcore—I could go on and on. But the one aesthetic trend I see dominating my TikTok and Instagram feeds most is "old money."

This aesthetic is all about a classic, slightly preppy sense of style. Think Princess Diana, Blair Waldorf, Ralph Lauren, tennis clubs, and uptown New York. It's a look that's all about quiet luxury. And I've decided—after lots of research—that I'm giving it a shot this summer.

I mean, why not? I look great in tweed. And if I swap out my hoop earrings for pearls and my pumps for Mary Janes, I'm already halfway there. Of course, there are a few key pieces that every closet built around the "old-money" aesthetic has: a tweed jacket, a tennis skirt, white linen pants, and, of course, a striped sweater that just screams, "I'm on my way to the Hamptons."

Lucky for you, I took a deep dive through all my favorite retailers to find pieces that matched the "old-money" aesthetic I'm going for. Keep scrolling to see which ones I can't wait to wear.

I've never tried a tweed jacket before, but this one looks like my style.
