[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My personal observation from being married into a traditional old line family is that overly done makeup, nails, flashy jewelry, and overdone hair are never encouraged.

When I had my daughter’s ears pierced at 2 years old I was surprised at the firm disapproval from my in laws. Her school doesn’t allow girls to wear earrings or any cosmetics during the school day.

Nail polish questions aside, it could be said that the upper class “look” is best described as “understated” - nice clothes, no labels, nothing obvious.

My mother in law is a perfect example. Always put together and you can tell she is wearing very nice clothes and shoes but nothing is obvious.

She only wears a simple gold band as her wedding jewelry. Rarely wears anything flashy unless it’s a very special occasion and then she gets out the jewelry - even then, it’s still understated.

My in laws and the rest of the family drive paid for used cars, and don’t wear brand names, at least not obviously.

The whole mission is to create lasting generational wealth that won’t get burned through by the next generation.

Nail polish doesn’t seem to be the done thing.
