Mood

More than a mood
- More than that, though, quiet luxury is about functionality and investment clothing. It is about developing a sustainable and genuine relationship with certain brands.

Anti-fast fashion
- Quiet luxury does not have time, for example, for people who believe they can only wear the same outfit once.

Multi-use
- Rather, it is about investing in a handful of timeless and flexible pieces that can be worn throughout the year, independent of the season.

Expert opinion
- As Forbes journalist Bianca Salonga put it, “It’s about maximizing cost per wear without sacrificing elegance.”

The Row

Other brands
- Other brands on the list would be Khaite, the aforementioned Brunello Cucinelli, Jil Sander, and Loro Piana. People ‘in the know’ of these brands appreciate them for their understated quality.

The million-dollar question

On everyone's lips
- As TV shows such as ‘Succession’ popularize the quiet luxury look, more and more people are asking this question.

Investment

Things you can do
- That said, it is possible to hit the right note with quiet luxury without breaking the bank. Indeed, there are certain tips you can follow in your pursuit.

Pick a neutral color palette
- When it comes to items of clothing, think understated, neutral colors. Quiet luxury is the opposite of the gaudiness and fluorescence of the noughties.

Comfort is king
- For a strong, quiet luxury look, go for head-to-toe neutral tones. Opt for loose, comfortable items that won’t require you to always breathe in.

For active people
- Of course, neutral tones aren’t always practical, particularly if you have kids or you’re always on the move.

T-shirt and jeans
- If that sounds like you, opt instead for a carefully ironed white t-shirt tucked into a comfy pair of dark jeans.

22 / 29 Fotos
Optimizing convenience
- Combining class with comfort, what could be better and more practical for your busy, on-the-go lifestyle?
© Shutterstock
23 / 29 Fotos
Accessories
- When it comes to accessorizing, go for simple gold items that you can keep on day in, day out. There is no need for diamonds or pearls.

Simple gold pieces
- Remember that repeatedly wearing the same item is the ultimate quiet luxury behavior, so you don’t even need to worry about taking your jewelry off at night.

Hair and nails
- For your hair, consider a low messy bun at the nape of your neck. And for your nails, a lick of clear nail polish will do the trick.

Enjoy it!
- Revel in the fact that all this takes considerably less effort than an ornate manicure or blow dry. Practicality is at the heart of quiet luxury, and we all can appreciate that!

And don't overthink
- Last but not least, don’t overthink it. The simpler the better when it comes to achieving this look, and it doesn’t need to break the bank. Sources: (Forbes) (Vogue) (The Guardian) See also: The most influential fashion designers of all time
