Old Money Dresses Inspired By The Best US Open Looks
From The US Open To Your Closet
Obsessed with old money dresses and tennis inspired fashion? Me too. In fact, I’m so obsessed, I’ve based my latest finds around the trends. After all, old money styles practically never age—they’re always in. From colored shirt dresses to straight-fitted minis, there’s a world of them out there. Plus, they just so happen to be appropriate for any and every occasion.
If you didn’t get the memo, the US Open was a runway for old money dresses. With celebrities and affluent attendees in the hottest designers, it was hard not to feel inspired. However, tennis matches usually attract stylish crowds. But with an attendance like this, it’s safe to say that these old money outfits will stay stocked in my closet until the next competition.

You Can Never Be Too Classy
The Fear Dressing “Too” Fancy
Don’t fear it. The secret to old money dresses is being a bit overdressed for the occasion, unless you’re headed somewhere fancy, of course. But that’s not all, the style is really about class and simplicity. If there was one piece as the trend’s mascot, make it this Self-Portrait boucle mini. Styles like these aren’t your everyday finds, but they sure are hidden gems. After all, Self-Portrait is one of the few designers basing their modern day looks on old money archives. And they give me every excuse to stock up on more designer mules—they’re the shoe mascot of the trend.
On a more sophisticated note, this Alessandra Rich silk dress is another gem I fell in love with. I’m not usually sold on solid pieces, but this dress ticks all the boxes for old money dresses. With a flattering silhouette, a versatile length, and a breathable fabric, it’s no wonder we saw many of these at the US Open. Pair it with Stuart Weitzman’s Stuart pumps and Ferragamo’s Prisma tote for a mysteriously stunning ensemble. And if I had to guess, at least one fashionista across the court wore something similar. This luxurious trio of brands are by far the best mix to get old money outfits.

A Modern Take On The Trend
Don’t Miss These Old Money Dresses
Part of following trends is also following your own personal style to make it unique. While I love old money dresses, I do also love a bit of edge to my looks. One piece that blends both beautifully is the Retrofête Brooke dress. And while I usually steer clear of pink dresses, I couldn’t pass on it. Together with a flirtatious skirt and waist-hugging fit, Retrofête has done it again.
If you’re loving the mix of old and new, but aren’t sure how to style the balance, don’t skip tote bags. Believe it or not, the daily accessory also makes the perfect pairing to old money outfits. Available in an array of colors, the Prada Galleria mini bag screams old money. It isn’t the most spacious, it fits all of your essentials perfectly. For simple looks like this, minimalist accessories are the best choice.
For shoes besides mules, Neous’s Ibor slingbacks will always be a safe bet. It’s important to keep your shoes fitting the part when it comes to old money dress. I always love a good 2-3 inch heel, but you can also opt for flat options. The goal is to keep it simple, neutral, and not too high. Always remember: classy girl loves her heels, but she can also walk across the tennis court if she has to.
