What is Quiet Luxury?
Essentially, ‘quiet luxury’ is minimalism with a new label. Minimalist style has been the epitome of elegance for decades and is certainly not showing any signs of going anywhere. Despite its trend status, ‘quiet luxury’ encourages more thoughtful purchases. It urges people to consider the longevity of an item in their wardrobe and consider its cost per wear. Investing in more high-quality and luxurious pieces has a positive impact on the environment and discourages unnecessary impulse purchases.
This trend is all about curating a wardrobe that is full of clean and simple pieces. The goal is that they can easily be styled together for a chic minimalist look. Although investing in more luxury pieces is at the core of this trend, the look is possible to achieve on a budget.
