What is that WASP aesthetic?

And what would your most attractive/fashionable relative wear to brunch?

Mine is a size 2 and petite.

She would wear black slacks perfectly tailored that hit at the ankle (not skinny, not flared) with leather flats or driving mocs and a blouse or cashmere sweater. Simple but expensive jewelry.

So just boring. Wasp style is boring. Little to criticize, even less to compliment.

I prefer my body and skin and hair to do the talking.

My minimalist clothes don’t need to. I have no desire to look outlandish in fashion. The fashion industry is for women. Most trends are found ridiculous to the average homosexual man. You dress for your own body which doesn’t always mean a trend will work.

^ ha. I meant heterosexual man. Gay men would live to gossip about fashion.

The fact that she is known to have a uniform speaks volumes about her WASP style.



She looks and dresses like an Italian.

Sofia Coppola is the daughter of Italian immigrants, that's not a wasp. We are better looking


That's fascinating, considering Tom Ford was pretty obsessed with her for years and she has consistently been viewed as a style icon and great beauty. You have a limited perception of beauty and I actually wonder if you are a WASP because this was an incredibly rude and myopic thing to say. Italian women, including immigrant Italian women , are not typically viewed as not good looking. Quite the contrary.

I think PP was saying that Italian immigrants are better looking than WASPs

100% this. God love them, many of the WASP women I know would rather spend time at the barn than going to a tailor, hairdresser, etc. Lots of their clothes are fine, but nothing special. They do tend to be thin/slim/athletically built, which helps. But I mean this just isn’t a stylish aesthetic. It’s boring, expensive (at least it was when they bought it 10+ years ago), simple. Hair is not fussy, most often shoulder length or chin length. Makeup is minimal or nonexistent except at big do’s, when they might wear mascara and random lipstick they happen to have in the drawer.
