What is that WASP aesthetic?

[Anonymous]

My MIL is a WASP.
Her family from Atlanta, who had slaves (yep I know), so they were well off and then lost everything.
The attitude stayed.
She lives in Midwest, belongs to DAR, Presbyterian, not skinny at all( scottish heritage), in youth were built like Reese but with dark hair. Thin lips, small nose, resemblance of Queen Elizabeth in features.

Has a modest vintage home with beautiful furniture, gorgeous garden, wears no logos, pearls everywhere, beautiful china and silver for occasions, wears her Cartier watch to garden, Birkenstocks, Democrat, a little bit hippie, liberal arts degree, but interesting job later, lots of black and navy in her wardrobe, no makeup or any expensive care but beautiful skin slat her age. Drinks a ton of white wine and gin and tonic and fresh next morning, never has hangover.

As noted earlier in the thread, term has roots in the Ku Klux Klan.

It does not. It is a term coined by sociologist E. Digby Baltzell.

Understated but real jewelry (pearls and classic diamond studs, preferably family heirlooms). The look can go a little bit tweedy or a little bit edgy or a little bit girly, but not too much.

Long hair, but not too long. A WASP needs a classic ponytail for tennis and that perfect wind blown look for photos near on the beach next to the summer house or out on the boat. Subtle highlights, but a WASP is not going to go super bottle blonde. Most of the Wasps I know have very shiny brown hair.

Very little makeup. Clean face. A little color from outdoor activity, as a Wasp should be spending weekends and holidays boating, skiing, or relaxing at one of their family’s or family friend’s weekend homes.[b]

Wasp icons: Gwyneth Paltrow, Jackie Kennedy, a host of socialites who have also written for Vogue at one time or another.

So wasps don’t believe in sunscreen?

Ok, wouldn’t Gloria Vanderbilt be considered the ultimate wasp?
I thought wasps were supposed to be recluses by anything tacky
I’ve seen videos of Gloria’s apartment, and it was very garish and brightly colored.

OMG, please stop shilling for these jumped-up hustlers! They are LMC posers, who either borrow their props and sets, or are paid to shoot at various locations.
