British aristocrats tend to wear clothing that is non-flashy and often rural. Men wear suits that are dark and un-trendy, or wool trousers, dress shirts and pullovers. Women usually wear clothing that's a bit masculine and un-sexy, like tweed skirts, shirts and cardigans with sensible shoes. Outerwear is often country-focused, like Barbour waxed-cloth jackets or tweed hacking jackets. Men's ties tend to reflect the schools they attended, clubs they belong to, or regiments they served in. Jewelry is usually very limited except for special, formal occasions. Men favor bespoke clothing from their tailor, or off-the-peg clothes from middle-class retailers like Marks & Spencer; women go directly for M&S, with some nicer pieces from William Evans or other traditional clothiers. British aristocrats are loathe to wear anything fashionable or with a status logo on it. "Serviceable" is a key word for both genders. Clothes and accessories are often handed down from parents or older siblings, and there's no shame in damage that's repaired. The key is understatement and "honest use". In general, they hate to have to buy or wear anything new. You will never find a British aristocrat wearing by Ralph Lauren or other "designers" who try to pass their stuff off as "British aristocrat wear".
