Old Money Hair: 5 Classic Styles That Whisper Wealth

styleIn 2025, fashion’s biggest statement is saying less. From tailored linen to suede loafers, the quiet luxury movement has officially made its way. Enter: Old Money Hair… a style philosophy that feels effortless yet powerfully elegant. Think soft volume, clean parts and glossy finishes.

Whether you're perfecting your Hamptons holiday look or simply wanting to elevate your everyday from the comfort of your desk, these five timeless hairstyles embody the quiet luxury aesthetic and they’re trending hard in 2025.

1. Half-Up, Half-Down

Equal parts polished and romantic, the half-up half-down embodies the essence of the Old Money aesthetic. Worn with a touch of volume at the crown and ultra-smooth waves below.

Get the look: Use the Blow Dry Brush to sculpt a smooth, voluminous base. Secure the top section with a gold clip, velvet ribbon or your favourite vintage accessories. 

2. Headscarves

A silk headscarf is the ultimate old money accessory. Effortlessly chic and highly functional, it channels everything from cruising on a yacht to lunching in a Tuscan vineyard. In 2025, headscarves are trending across TikTok and runways favouring neutral tones, heritage prints and impeccable silk.

Get the look: Start with a sleek, low bun or soft waves created using the Spin. Fold your scarf into a triangle, place it over the crown, and tie it beneath your chin or at the nape of your neck. Understated sunglasses optional but recommended.

3. Headbands

A thick velvet headband or fine leather band screams old money elegance. From ‘90s Chanel muses to modern-day Sofia Richie Grainge headbands remain the accessory of choice. In 2025, we’re seeing a return to these structured, luxe accessories paired with minimalist hair.

Get the look: Style your hair with the Straightener to get that ultra-sleek finish. Tuck behind the ears and slide on your headband for instant polish.

4. French Twists: The Silent Power Move

The French twist is back and as elegant as always. This updo delivers effortless sophistication. In 2025, it’s softer and more lived-in than ever, 

Get the look: Use the Styling Brush to sweep hair into a twist. Pin loosely with bobby pins, letting a few pieces frame the face. Finish with a claw clip for a modern touch.

5. Braids: From Equestrian Chic to Heiress Cool

Braids are the epitome of Old Money hair. A low plait with a silk ribbon, a loose French braid, or twin loose braids that feel polished yet unfussy.

Get the look: Use the Styling Brush to tame flyaways and polish your braid. Opt for a low, centre-parted version paired with gold hoops for the ultimate old money moment.
