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.

They might not truly have this background but the point is, the way they dress and live is a good representation of the style, which is what OP is asking about right?

They are not quite right, though. It looks like they are wearing costumes- WASP drag or WASP cosplay instead of real WASP. I grew up in Rhode Island - where they live - and they always strike me like people going to a WASP-themed dress up party, not real WASP. I think there's something just a little too store bought about it all, if that makes any sense.

^ And let me add, I am not a WASP at all. Jewish. But I went to prep school with WASPs and had to sort of learn the look. The 80s/90s version of it, anyway.

Was Muffy in your class?

WASPS I know: ride, wear little makeup are long limbed, value the outdoors, sail, travel, emphasize education, cooks simple food well, have slightly dated but beautiful homes that are not McMansions, drive luxury understated cars, always wear good shoes, don’t wear rayon, are Episcopalian or Congregationalist, are well read, write hand written thank you notes, have beautiful gardens, May highlight hair but never to extremes, are careful about too much sun, don’t wear stilettos, resolve good shoes, entertain a decent amount, ski, have second homes often in Nantucket or Maine, or more remote Hamptons areas, belong to country clubs, golf, like simple cocktails, wear solid colors, like fair isle, fisherman knit, tweed, cashmere, and waxed coats, camel hair, and plaid.. are charitable, but not showy about it, look down on new money, hate labels, like crew, lacrosse, tennis,golf, skiing, club swim team. Have lots of bookshelves and wood floors, fresh cut flowers, hand towels from Yves Delorme or similar, have a penchant for early riding, eat moderately and fairly healthfully

There are definitely southern WASPS. They still take pride in their great great granddaddy founding the city, have lots of private clubs and groups, wear solid colors, straight shiny hair, “never complain never explain”, etc.

You can’t be half Jewish. Jewish is a religion. You never hear people say they are half Catholic or half Muslim. My Jewish in laws said you are either full Jewish or not Jewish at all.

I knew her. She used to date my college roommate before Jon Jon showed up. She had aura. Tons of it. I never thought that on pure looks, she was smoking hot. Maybe a 7. My friend could have done (and usually did) do better. A lot better. But as a total package as potential wife material - yes. She was amazing.
