With the plethora of tutorials on the sartorial ways of "old money," we all have a certain idea of how members of the one percent dress. And while influencers will always be a great source of style inspiration, to know how to truly dress like the affluent, there's nothing better than going straight to the source. Case in point: The Instagram feed of Isabel Elizalde, an heiress to one of the oldest families in Manila society, is littered with stylish OOTDs. A majority of them are perfect for beating the summer heat, too!
Sounds interesting? Ahead, we summarize some of the key pieces in Isabel's wardrobe that you can incorporate into your summer outfits, so you can dress just like an heiress.
LOOK: How to Dress Like an Heiress This Summer, As Seen on Isabel Elizalde
1. Printed dresses
While most people's idea of old money fashion is the Ivy League look of Polo Ralph Lauren ads, Isabel likes to dress in the most maximalist way. She's often spotted wearing printed dresses and layering them with multiple gold jewelry.
2. Strapless tops
Going strapless is a no-brainer during the summer. Isabel, for instance, styles them with a coordinated skirt or jeans. Accessorize with different lengths of necklaces to make the neck area appear less bare.
3. Kaftan dresses
While most people would steer clear of long-sleeved ensembles during the summer, kaftan dresses, like these colorful numbers that Isabel is wearing, are exceptions. Usually made with lightweight fabric, they're perfect for a polished everyday look.
4. Lace-trim tops
Lace-trim tops are timeless and versatile. Isabel especially likes hers in floral print with black lace and spaghetti straps, which you can catch her wearing on everyday errands or even on nights out with her girls.
5. Chain belts
Feel like your outfit is feeling a bit lackluster? Chain belts, like these gold links Isabel is wearing, are just the thing you need to elevate your 'fit. To make the look even more cohesive, match the hue of the chain belt with the rest of your jewelry.
