Quiet Luxury: What It Is and What I Should Know About this HUGE Fall Trend

 One of the biggest trends of the season is a really seemingly simple one.  It's called Quiet Luxury, aka "Stealth Wealth".  Back in the day, showing off the brands you were wearing and highlighting when you had on something luxury was the thing to do.  Today, that is very passe. Wearing logos and showing brands is very dated.

The idea of Quiet Luxury is to dress in a very understated way.  It's a quiet elegance and a focus on quality rather than showing off a logo.  It's a quite refined minimalistic take on fashion where crisp, sharp, clean pieces are at the forefront.

I am OBSESSED with the Television show "Succession" on Max.  Have you seen it?  The style on this show is the epitome of Quiet Luxury.



The style on this show doesn't scream, but instead simply oozes subtle and luxurious.  You can tell that the fabrics are refined, the styling is very classic. And if you know anything about the Roy family, they would sneer down their noses at you if you were to tell them they are dressed anything but perfectly.

With Quiet Luxury, you want to focus on high-quality fabrics.  Not only do silk, wool, fine leather, and cashmere feel amazing on your body, they have a really refined texture that speaks for itself.  

Also, you will focus on timeless pieces.  There is nothing "trendy" here, these are going to be investment pieces that you have for the long haul.

Next up, this trend is the antithesis of color.  This look is all about your rich neutrals.  Think tans, cream, black, white, and other earthy tones (perfect for Fall, no?).

Fit, fit, fit!  To be honest, this one is important regardless of Quiet Luxury, but tailored perfection is not just an idea, it's absolutely necessary.  Make sure that the pieces you wear look like they were custom-made. This is where a good Tailor in your back pocket is worth it's weight in gold!

Sustainability - many people who adopt a "stealth wealth" mindset are looking for eco-friendly items because the type of materials and fabrics used in these pieces are natural.  When you shop sustainably, you are also not purchasing a piece knowing it will fall apart and end up in a landfill.  You are purchasing quality pieces to last for years.  You are making a wardrobe investment with these pieces.

Finally, think about the importance of your accessories with this way of dressing.  You want to choose simple, elegant pieces that don't overpower your outfit, just harmonize and enhance it.  A simple gold watch is a perfect accessory for this look.

Inside of The Chic Style Society this month our topic is Iconic Style.  This goes perfectly with the idea of Quiet Luxury.  We are talking about how to create your own Iconic Style and what it is.  If you would love to join the membership, head to this link to read about this amazing Membership community.  We would love for you to join us!

Until next week....

Stylishly Yours,

Why Style is Important: The High Cost of Not Caring

 Close your eyes. Transport yourself to a moment in time when you felt absolutely beautiful. Maybe it was yesterday. Maybe it was when you were heading to an special event. Maybe it was when you were going on your first date. Maybe it was your wedding day. When you close your eyes, think about these things: How did you look? How did you feel? What were you wearing? What was the fabric like? How did the clothes fit your body? What did your hair look like? What did your makeup look like? Were you smiling at yourself in the mirror? How long did it take you to get ready that day? Did you take pictures of yourself? What thoughts did you have when you saw yourself in the mirror? When you open your eyes, I want you to think about the last time you felt that amazing? That powerful? That beautiful?  When's the last time you cared like that? When's the last time you allowed yourself to take that long to get ready? As I shared in last week's blog ( https://stylesynchrony.blogspot.com/...

How to look stylish in your 40s (and beyond)

You're here! Congratulations because that is Step 1: Caring enough to want to make a change. Here's the thing, nothing changes if nothing changes. The biggest roadblock is if you aren't fed up ENOUGH with how you are feeling about your style (and likely yourself), you will never make a change. That's not you though, my friend, because you found this blog and opened it!  Step one is complete. Let's celebrate that! via GIPHY Here's what you already know. Style in your 40s and beyond (we will call this "midlife" going forward) is...different.  👉Our bodies are changing. Things don't sit where they used to. 👉Our priorities have changed. Most of the time, we aren't out all night at the bars. 👉Our lives have a new focus, oftentimes around our family. 👉Fashion and clothing is not typically geared toward women our age. It's commonplace for women who are in midlife to feel like they are lacking style or being left-behind, but that doesn't hav...

The Importance of a Conscious Closet (and what is it?!)

Many times as consumers, we look at our shopping habits when it comes to clothing in terms of how much we are spending, where we are spending our money and the comfort and wearability of our clothes.   These things are all relevant.   However, one area that is becoming increasingly important to consider for value-driven shoppers and for those who are concerned about the environment is the true impacts that our clothing purchases have on the future of Earth and the lives of humans living on it right now. Today is the first of a 2-part blog series about Fast Fashion versus Sustainable Fashion.  Whether you care about the environment or not, I heartily believe it is important for all of us to take a look at our decisions as consumers and understand these topics so we can make our decisions coming from a place of knowledge.  The decisions we make today will impact not just our own lives, but the lives of our children and grandchildren and cannot be ignored. Clothes cou...
