Succession has become the internet’s new obsession – from its constantly twisting plot to the intensive manipulation and iconic one-liners, no one can resist this bingeable series. Whatever your opinion on the show is, one thing we can all agree on, is that the billionaire fashion of the blockbuster show is next level.

The chic, understated old money aesthetic that runs throughout the show demonstrates where the characters fall in their economic upbringing, highlighting insecurities, passions and motives.

We’ll leave the scheming element of the show to the characters, however, the style? It’s coming home with us! Here is how you can channel your inner rich-aunt aura, with some style tips from Succession.

Understated Elegance

The iconic scene making the rounds on the internet now features one of the characters commenting on another’s “ludicrously capacious” handbag. The oversized Burberry-esque handbag is ridiculed as being ostentatious, demonstrating that the character really didn’t know what she was doing in the social circles of the elite. Understated elegance never goes out of style, so adopting a more subtle approach to glamour and luxury ensures you don’t have a repeat of Succession’s noteworthy bag scene.

Neutral Colour Palette

One of the main fashion trends throughout Succession is the neutral colour palette that is so often associated with the old money aesthetic we see across Instagram and TikTok. The characters of the show stick to natural colours like beige, blues, whites and blacks. Of course there is variation on this, however the rule of sticking to colours you could find in nature is always a great place to start.

Accessories Are Essential

Accessories can make or break an outfit and Succession has certainly shown that this is true to form. Correctly accessorising can bring your outfit from drab to fab instantly. Take a leaf out of the Succession book of style and opt for classic sunglasses and fine jewellery. Choosing one main piece of jewellery, whether that be earrings or a necklace, can let that special piece shine through against a softer background.

Fabrics Are Everything

If you’re a fashion lover like myself, then you’ll know that quality fabrics are worth their price tag. A cashmere jumper is an investment that you can hold onto but you don’t have to buy wildly expensive pieces to be fashionable. Purchasing pieces with higher quality fabrics always pays off in the end – they look and more luxurious and last longer. The Roy family would be proud!
