Old money looks are in vogue among the MZ generation. The Old Money Look refers to a style that expresses subtle luxury with simple design and luxurious materials rather than putting forward a brand logo.

It is characterized by using high-quality materials such as cashmere and silk, and using calm colors of black, white, and brown tones. So why did the Old Money Look become a trend for the MZ generation?

Not so long ago, due to the influence of Y2K, fashion with colorful colors and large logos was preferred, but these days, as the economic recession continues, the demand for high-quality and long-lasting basic items instead of fashion sensitive to fashion has increased.

With the economic downturn continuing, a sense of consumption refraining from showing off wealth has taken hold, and simple and long-lasting clothes have become preferred to colorful and flashy clothes.

The previous Fast Fashion became popular because people could buy clothes cheaply and quickly, but there is a problem with the amount of waste produced and carbon emissions increase during the disposal process, causing environmental destruction.

However, due to the trend of Old Money Looks, there is a positive wind in fashion culture as sustainable items are being purchased.
