I was a young career professional in the 80s, and the styles were far from flashy excess. It wasn’t all huge shoulders and neon colors, the styles were essentially classic and tailored, and in much better quality than what’s available today. Those who didn’t live in these decades always focus on the most extreme period style images on the Internet, but those don’t reflect what we actually wore everyday.
I’ve always loved the Quiet Luxury Style, although it wasn’t called that until very recently, we just called it Good Taste in my youth. High-quality, simple, classic pieces are timeless, or as close as we can get in fashion. This elegant style never really “goes out”, it’s just that designers and brands push us to buy loud or goofy trends that we don’t need, especially in cheap synthetic fabrics to push their profits up. This year’s trends for example, the sheers, lace or mesh fabrics are all 100% polyester, so I’ll pass! I only wear natural-fiber fabrics and materials, like genuine leather, in classic, elegant styles, so they look good for decades.
Brands have become so greedy these days. Atleast in the past, 'luxury' was reflected in the quality of the items. That's the reason we paid more for that artistry (and they still made huge profits back then!) Now, they're just selling their logo on trash materials and trash finishes and making 3-5x more than before; all at our expense.

Thank you for another original video. Love it!
As if expensive clothes are guarantee for good materials 🙄 many brand items I bought were as fragile as fast fashion but with bigger price tags
