Yikes - that is super basic.


Lots of dogs and big ones at that. furniture with dog hair on it is a tell. I used to work for a "&($#*" family from NY that had the ultimate late 90's status symbol in canine -the Bernese Mountain Dog. You could see the disdain for the dog because they weren't dog people.

No. This is very middle class behavior.

Classic engagement ring and band that are from family

One car which is older and sensible

French OR preppy style of dressing-classic and minimal

Beautiful scarves

Good skin and hair-can look "horsey"

Charity galas, women's organizations, garden club, supper club, city club

Wedding covered by a prominent publication (NYT, Vogue). Family has a wiki.

Old money kind of exists on a different plane. They will say hilarious things to you without realizing it, like "Of course I stayed home until the children finished school" and five minutes later mention the children went to Choate and Exeter. Or name drop famous/rich people but only by their first name because they assume everyone knows who they are talking about. Or non-ironically refer to their house by its name instead of its address, and again just assume you are familiar with all of the real estate parcels in Nantucket or Mount Desert or Cos Cob.

So your idea in 2022 of what old money looks like is Emily Gilmore.

"A mother knows her son. After all, I raised you until you left for school."

"Oh, that was you?"

No one? Really? Come on, you know it's true. Air freshener is low class. When all these middle class and upper middle class families in the DMV spray febreez and use febreez clips in their cars, they're screaming, "WE JUST GOT HERE!"
