Thanks to the awe-inspiring Shiv Roy from Succession the idea of quiet luxury fashion really took centre stage! (and if you haven’t watched Succession, do it, if only for the specular fashion!).
Let’s dive in.

What is quiet luxury fashion?
Quiet luxury is defined by understated elegance, exquisite attention to detail, and a refined aesthetic. In the fashion world, it means shying away from ostentatiously branded clothes and opting for sleek pieces that make the mind wonder which brand it belongs to. It works, because yes, the Devil wears Prada, but she doesn’t scream that to the world.
And the best part is that quiet luxury trends work for anyone.

How to dive into this fashion lifestyle?
Neutral tones slay
Opt for neutral-toned clothes, rather flashy coloured ensembles. A pair of beige slacks paired with a soft white button-up looks more expensive and chicier than a t-shirt with a huge, branded graphic and jeans.
The beauty of this trend also means that you don’t have to spend a fortune to achieve this look. Neutral clothes look expensive no matter their price tag.

Fabric is everything
The type of fabric is just as important to this fashion trend. Leathers and satin-like clothes are classy and look expensive, which is why they make great staples for your quiet luxury wardrobe.
Soft cottons also make the cut, along with wool coats for the winter months.

Subtle accessories are the way to go
Quiet luxury fashion trends are all about being understated. And the same goes for your bling.
Accessorizing should be done with care. Don’t overdo it on the flashy rings and multi-coloured bracelets. Instead, stick to a monochromatic look, opting for either gold or silver jewellery (whichever suits you best). You should also stick to a few solid pieces, like a single ring, simple bracelets and a pair of understated earrings.
