3 Zodiacs Who Exemplify Old Money Aesthetics

Over the past several years, the old money aesthetic has taken over TikTok faster than whipped coffee in 2020. Inspired in large part by the quiet luxury constructed so seamlessly into the world of Succession, the fashion trend attempts to blend capsule wardrobe basics with classic elevated prep-school style.

It’s really not a surprise that nouveau riche looks, garish as they can be, are no longer in style. When Uranus entered the sign of Taurus in 2018, heralding a new era of fashion trends, sustainability and comfort replaced the prior trend cycle that celebrated the extravagant and the bold. With Taurus ruling both the earth and the very wealthy, we should have all seen this particular trend coming.

Not everyone is on board, though. Rarely has a fashion trend inspired so much discourse, with everyone from fashion commentators to celebrity stylists to everyday content creators offering their opinion on what qualifies as old money and what doesn’t. Plus, the general consensus seems to be that not everyone can pull off the old money look, especially if they weren’t actually raised in an old money family. There is an art to stealth wealth, they say, and not everyone has it.

What signs encompass this innate ability to carry themselves with class, even if they went to a state school? Typically, you’ll find the following three networking well and dressing for the job they want. Surprise! They’re all earth signs.

Virgo

Classy, chic, and sophisticated Virgo, you can be so hyper-critical of your appearance that you’ll cry over a bad dye job. You’ve been wearing neutrals since before it was cool, and you’ve had logo fatigue since you were in middle school. Your affinity for small, timeless pieces, such as dainty stacker rings and gold pendant necklaces, give you the appearance of someone who is comfortable in your own skin. Even a casual outfit looks elevated on you, and with the Venusian houses of wealth in your second and ninth houses, respectively, you are more than capable of marrying up, or into a significantly different culture than your own.

Capricorn

If you want to walk amongst the elite, Capricorn, you are already five steps ahead of your peers. With your magnetic features, put-together style, and subtle glamor, you look best in covertly luxurious pieces, and you’ll save for months for the sharpest blazer if you think it’ll help you get your dream job. You came into this world prepared for entrepreneurship, and you know how to charm the right people all the way up the social ladder. Venus rules your fifth and tenth houses of creative expression and public reputation, placing you directly in the spotlight and making you the most obvious choice for leadership opportunities.

Taurus

No one looks better in their weekend wear than you, Taurus, and no matter how much you like to stay cozy, you clean up real nice. You’re one of the most naturally elegant signs; it takes very little effort for you to turn on the charm, while maintaining a laidback and cozy aesthetic that feels authentic to you. With Venus ruling your first house of identity and physical appearance, plus your sixth house of wellness and work, you’re willing to go the extra mile to keep yourself looking and feeling great. Your effortless beauty and grace can take you far in the workplace, bringing you both business and romantic partnerships. You can rise to achieve great wealth if it’s what you desire, but your appreciation for toned-down style will probably never change. You know what works for you and you’ll stick with tradition.
