Awkward Etiquette: Old Money  New Manners

The key old money photo rules and etiquette Slim Aarons knew (and you might not)


Listen Later

In this chic and a propos episode of Awkward Etiquette with Kiki Astor, just in time for your summer vacation photos, Kiki dives into the sun-drenched world of Slim Aarons photography, exploring how his lens captured the unspoken codes of old money elegance, exclusivity, and leisure. From poolside glamour in Palm Beach to quiet opulence in Gstaad, his photos were a masterclass in effortless wealth—and discretion.

But what happens when we try to channel that today? Kiki unpacks the etiquette of taking and posting photos in the social media age, and how modern oversharing clashes with the understated style of old money. You’ll get tips on photo taking and social media etiquette, as well as how to display personal photos in a refined, intentional way at home—think silver frames, leather-bound albums, and a total ban on selfies.

Whether you’re trying to curate your Instagram like a vintage Town & Country spread or just wondering where to hang that candid from Capri, this episode is your guide to being visually elegant, socially polished, and never gauche.
