Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors' curation of the must-know items they can't stop thinking about.
Effortlessly elegant and dripping in wealth, the old money aesthetic is never going out of style. Exemplified by tailored basics, striped sweaters, and quiet-luxury designers like Hermès and The Row, these trend-transcending pieces will undoubtedly be forever favorites. For summer, we're giving this aesthetic a coastal spin—think Jackie O's summer looks and Lana Del Rey's "National Anthem" music video. Staples like airy linen dresses, luxe accessories, and preppy prints make for a summer wardrobe that keeps you cool and classy. I curated my dream old money wish list for summer below, so keep scrolling to see my top picks, ranging from $15 to $20,000. (Because we need to look the part, right?)
