Started by It Girl Sofia Richie-Grainge, the “old money” fashion aesthetic is still going strong, the hashtag having garnered over 258k views on TikTok. One subset of the trend we can’t seem to get enough of is Ivy League style. Depicted with collared shirts, tailored pants and timeless designs — we rounded up 17 pieces from the trend so you can nail Ivy League style too.

Each piece is classic, timeless and has a hint of sporty, preppy style that’ll make you look and feel like you’re on the steps of the Met or at an East Coast country club.
