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.

Understanding Color Analysis

Color Analysis is a hot topic right now. I don't think it has been this top-of-mind since the 1980s when Color Me Beautiful came out. Thanks to those TikTok filters, there has been a new resurgence of interest. I warn you against those filters. There are just some things that technology can't see, can't do and I wouldn't trust them over a trained eye. Now, you might be thinking, "Getting my colors done by a trained analyst is expensive and this is FREE." Well, my friend, you get what you pay for. When you think about the impact that knowing your perfect colors has on your wardrobe, the fee is quite small. An accurate color analysis by a trained professional will help you save time and money when you shop. You will be able to build your wardrobe around these colors, which means you will spend LESS on clothing that doesn't suit you. MUCH LESS than the fee a trained color analyst charges. The opposite is true if you go by a free filter on TikTok. Do you REAL...
