![]() ![]() You will never see any member of a “good family“ in anything remotely fashionable. You wear what you are supposed to wear, which is exactly what your father or your grandfather wore when they were your age. You have no interest in wearing what some designer thinks is cool or sporting accessories with high fashion symbols on them. There’s simply no need to emphasize your presence with a flashy style. Even when dressed in old, torn clothes, you still know who you are and that other people will respect you because of your name and pedigree. You don’t have to define yourself by how you look. You are a Lord as well-and some of your children as well as their children will hold the same title. Strange isn’t it–given that you are reading about presenting yourself well in a text that focuses on ways to dress ?īut let me explain! Imagine you grew up in a very established noble family and that your father is a Lord, as were members of the 12 generations of his ancestors. The first rule rule is not to over-focus on what you wear. So without further delay, let’s look at some traits of the über elite. It is much better to be a regular guy dressing particularly well than an insecure person with a fabricated history. No matter your disposition, a word of warning: never lie about who you are because not only is it immoral, but there is no greater faux-pas in noble circles than trying to convince people that you are someone whom you are not. Some people who attempt to climb the social ladder try to hide their modest background, while others are just hopeless romantics who watch too much Downton Abbey. Whether in situations at private schools, certain professions, or just out of interest of being “in the know”, this type of knowledge can be beneficial with little to no downside to taking the time to learn about the subject. That is just the way that it is-no matter how hard you try to emulate the style and behaviour of a noblemen.īut if you are, for some reason, a part of a society where you meet regularly with top class people, then you may want to become familiar with their way of approaching life and living. The fact is that, unless you were actually born into the very limited number of privileged families…you will never be an aristocrat. I’d like to shed a little light on these untold observations (at least in the area of personal style) beginning with general principles and following with specific advice that you may or may not choose to adopt as your own. Such a specific group is like a large private club with tacit signals, mostly unrecognizable to someone who doesn’t know such codes. ĭespite the presence of precise coding that can be easily spotted, unless you’ve been born to such a family or spent a lot of time among noble people, you probably won’t pay any attention to these codes that can easily reveal a so-called aristocrat. There are telltale signs that can reveal that a person belongs to a member of a certain hereditary gentry…with one of the strongest clues being that of dress and general appearance. Yet, the old saying that a nobleman can recognize another of his species from across the other side of the room is indeed true, at least among the older generations. ![]() On the contrary, when referring to old family names that have prospered and endured for many generations, these perceptions are not exactly true. ![]() ![]() It’s a common error to think of so-called aristocrats (or old money types) as blue bloods that wear luxurious fabrics and strictly tailor-made clothes with impeccable cuts, including dandy-like accessories of silk, gold and precious furs. Using a pen name, he writes an interesting piece about the aristocratic way of life and the understated way of dressing-providing a unique opportunity to learn a thing or two about a rarely addressed subject. He has lived all over Europe and has had numerous encounters with aristocratic family members and those within the “multi-generational old-money realm”.
