Less is definitely more, even in fashion. Nowadays, prestigious brands have taken a pivot from flashy prints and monogram makeovers to wearable, minimalist, yet high quality pieces which we now call “quiet luxury.” Though quiet luxury is often mistaken as basic, we like to think of it as less austere but more polished. And even though the aesthetic may seem inaccessible due to price point, we’ve compiled some tips on how to build your quiet luxury wardrobe without breaking the bank.
CREATE A BUDGET
You don’t have to spend a lot of money to experience luxury. Creating a budget could set your goals in looking for the right brands that fit within your means. Not only will this help you evaluate your fashion choices but it will also inform you on how to invest your money into luxury pieces as well.
THINK OF THESE PIECES AS AN INVESTMENT
High-quality fashion is a wise investment as it will endure in your closet for a longer period of time. Quiet luxury brands often focus on the materials they use, the craftsmanship behind the product and most especially the design that comes into the creative process. In contrast to seasonal trends or quick fashion, this approach to fashion is frequently connected with a timeless and classic aesthetic. Prioritizing quality over quantity always and giving your wardrobe more cost per wear.
LOOK FOR BRANDS THAT SPEAK TO YOU
Even if your personal style is not minimalist, clean or timeless, its always a good idea to look for brands that serve as basics. And quiet luxury pieces is a great way to fulfill that need. Just like any other aesthetic, look for brands that speak to you and your personal style. A good reference to stay on track is using a style vision board or simply just choosing brands that you feel comfortable wearing.
