My coworker at my old firm was in her late 50s and was always so fashionable. She and her husband had money but never looked like she boasted about it. She was not a label person. She just always looked put together, even if she was dressed casually that day. This is quiet luxury 😊
I like it! I work in a wealthy suburb as a nanny/housekeeper and I always get a chuckle to myself when people compliment my attire/appearance. Once a grandma asked me if I had a date that night, and I just had on a black Loft tee and a skirt I paid less than $10 for at Ross. It’s sad that being clean and sharp has become uncommon.
I like the term quiet elegance. Luxury equates with something being expensive but elegance can’t be bought. Many years ago before the quiet luxury trend became a trend a sales associate in a store said she always noticed people who dressed quietly. Their clothes whispered instead of shouted “Look at me” Whether it’s a trend or not I have been, and will continue to be all in. Thank you Jennifer!
Yes. Quiet luxury to me, means strictly luxury brands. I remember I heard it first during the gwenyth Paltrow trial (maybe on this channel?!). But quiet elegance allows it to encompass non luxury brands
My core personal style preference is "Elegance". I love your term "Quiet Elegance". It appeals to me as an introvert. The current Quiet Luxury look is all about clothes that look new. I prefer a softer, more lived in look. The challenge is the fine line between shabby chic and plain shabby :)
i personally don't think the quiet luxury look is about things that look new at all. imo its more about classic pieces. i think the term maybe thats more reflective of that lived-in look is relaxed elegance. or maybe elegant chic. @@softsophisticate
I love quiet luxury. My mother told me when I was a teen that old money had no need to show off and new money had the need to be flashy and brand oriented. Btw, we had neither, haha. Anyway, I have always embraced the quiet luxury. It is always classic and in style.
As someone who doesn't keep up with trends, this video was very helpful! I would love more videos like this and a video on investment shopping. Good taste and discreet elegance will always be in style, but it's refreshing that this is finally on trend now. I'm very grateful to influencers like you who promote these qualities for the younger generation. As a 22- year-old myself, I strongly feel that young people today really need to hear this!!
This has been my style pretty much my entire adult life!!!!! How gratifying to have a name for this, and even be ‘on trend’. I’m grateful to my Swiss mother for instilling these values and modeling this in a seemingly effortless manner.
I'm 68, and I've never been a person of means, I've always shopped for the highest quality i could afford. Classic has always been my style in adulthood. I've never been a fast fashion person & was greatly dismayed when so many of the textile and clothing manufacturers moved out of the country. Acquaintances have given me grief over the amount that I paid for some item or where I shopped. (I live in a small town...🙄) I simply explained that I could wear it for years. I love the fact that the fashion industry is embracing this style, at least for brief while. 😊
According to Vogue’s definition, I’ve been dressing this way for many years. 😊 The only label I’ll wear is my own. In my twenties I was instructed that I should be complimented, not my makeup or clothing. I’m in my seventies now.
Not flashy but understated... showcases you, a human...I see that as modesty and class. A godly perspective that came to my mind when listening to you. Modesty in apparel and outward appearance is always in style inside and out!
It used to be called "classic", then "how to look expensive", then "old money" and now it is "quiet luxury". A new name for what many of us recognize as always being good style in quality fabrics that last.
YES, you nailed it. It is just classic, quality items that are well cared for, and put together harmoniously. It doesn't need to be expensive, just well made. The terms keep changing, but the concept remains the same.
Quiet luxury. My forever style now has a name and is on trend 😂 Couldn’t be happier about this and I’m curiously watching to see if it catches on in my area. I’d love to see more videos on this topic!
Thank you for clarifying quiet luxury. I have recently come out of the athleisure wear constant use after discovering your channel. I have always been most comfortable in more feminine styles. I have cleared out most of my clothing and am ready to begin building a classic wardrobe. A video on investment shopping would be a tremendous help to finding myself. Thank you for this sanctuary. I love the calm and serenity your videos bring, no matter what the content is.
Thank you for the video. Even when I was in my 20s my fashion style was classic, elegant and understated. I used to think that I looked stodgy, but I noticed that people are treated differently (better) than when they have a quiet luxury appearance.
I am beyond inspired by embracing the notion of “quiet luxury” as I transition and style my closet and dresser drawers from summer to fall and winter. It will bring a great ease to my editing. Your video’s timing is impeccable as I am addressing the transition this weekend. As for tips on investment shopping? 🙋🏼♀️ I’m in!
This fall I found 3 cashmere sweaters on Poshmark for a STEAL. My goal is to take special care with them and wear them for years and years. My mother was the queen of quiet luxury. I thought it was boring when I was younger. She's gone now but I have long since appreciated the beauty of her subtle quality, silk, cashmere, jeans, loafers look for years. My role model. She also had a ten item wardrobe but never labled it as such. I am excited about this as well! You've been dressing this forever Jennifer! Makes me smile!
So many comments saying this, but it’s neat to have a term for this “style”. ☺️ Another reason I love a more simple look without labels everywhere is that I do not appreciate supporting brands that do not match my values. The next purse I shop for will be a brand like Mark and Graham that doesn’t feel the need to have their name on the outside.
This is how I dress mostly in fall and winter. I have a uniform: black thermal tights, merino wool skirt above my knees, a couple cashmere sweaters (I can’t stand being cold), and a cashmere cardigan. OR a velvet dress. In the summer I go for 50’s dresses, satin pink dresses, or long house of ch ones. My style comes alive but still put together.
I love this topic, Jennifer. I have always been drawn to a more understated, elegant look. I've also heard it described as "old money," but like you said, anyone can attain the look at a variety of price points. I always find this look accompanied by a calm and confident presence, without the need to over-share or draw attention to oneself. It's nice to feel like I have a kindred spirit in your channel:)
I love this video, Jennifer! Thank you for explaining what the Quiet Luxury trend is, and mostly, what it is not! I found your explanations very clear and informative. And I could see that it’s a subject you love! Yes, I would love to see a video on investment shopping! I also especially liked what you said (I rephrase as I understood it) about the Quiet Luxury being like a lens through which one looks at one’s true style. Like you, I enjoy both classic and whimsical items of clothing, and I could not let go of the whimsical because it’s really me, and at the same time, I don’t want to always wear whimsical pieces of clothing (if my explanation makes sense!) I don’t know if you will be reading the comments, but if so, know that I’m keeping you and your family in my daily prayers! God bless you!
Quiet luxury seems like a classic way of carrying yourself. I am done buying T-shirts that get holes in them after a few months. I would love a video on higher quality clothing items. I’m so frustrated with the current quality of mall clothing! I even purchased the v neck sweater from mott + bow per your recommendation. 😊
If the holes are near your belly button, it is likely made from a belt buckle - a very common occurance. I no longer wear t-shirts, at 56 they do me no favours. I now go for short sleeve, light cotton/viscose/linen, pretty tops or blouses. Just as easy to put on, just as cool to wear, but looks like I made an effort in an effortless way :) The effort occured when, like you, I realised t-shirts no longer worked for me - too scruffy, too sporty, and I had to put in the time and effort to think of and shop for alternatives. My casual outfit formula is now jeans and a lovely top - either a lovely colour, fabric or print, or all 3. Short sleeve in summer, long sleeve in winter with a cardi.
As young dance majors, years ago, my roomie and I would head out for our weekly treat - Sunday night dinner at a local neighborhood restaurant. We always wore jeans (freshly laundered, no rips or holes) and a blazer. Years later, I made a cross country trip from Virginia to Oregon, and although it was summertime and quite warm, I would put on the same navy gabardine blazer to elevate my jeans and white tee when checking into hotels. It was a quiet luxury presentation to the front desk and I believe it also reflected the way I was treated.
Thank you Jennifer❣️I have enjoyed dressing in quiet luxury since I was young. Carolyn Bisset Kennedy dressed this way and Angelina Jolie does too. It’s true, not many of Ralph Lauren’s clothes go out of style. God bless you and your family❣️🥰💕🙏🏻💕
I would love to see a video on investment shopping.I’m just starting out after years of cheap fashion - and am so done with it! Also I’m in my mid-40s so I would like pointers on how to dress appropriately and elegantly too. Thank you!
Clothes are never an investment. They are a product we must spend money on, you’ll never receive returns. Yes, some clothes last longer or bring more joy or are more versatile…but it’s never an investment.
Well fitting jeans, a gabardine blazer, a couple of tailored white tees, a navy or black cashmere pullover, and good shoes. An ankle boot will serve you well both with pants and skirts. As to the idea of "investment, Frye boots, for instance, have escalated in price but if you ever decide to sell them, they will hold their value.
@@cjdflkjthis is not what is meant by investment clothing. It's the "returns" that are invested. Investment clothing is high quality, lasting many seasons throughout the year, lasting many years, et al.. The savings comes from not replacing the clothes so often.
That is an interesting point (although you can regain some spending if you decide to sell on high quality pieces). For me, the term "investment" used in this context relates more to investing in ourselves, ie developing our own style and self esteem, and presenting ourselves in the best light (perhaps like the Italian idea of La Bella Figura". h@@cjdflkj
Love quiet luxury. Thought it was just "classic style". Who knew? Anyway, this is the style I feel most comfortable in and try to achieve. Thanks for the video.
I love this video! Thank you so much! I’ve being wearing since I lost some weight, NPL dresses and skirts for almost 4 years now. I can dress them up and down, and in winter time, I love it to wear these dresses and skirts with high quality wool, and cashmere sweaters. With some fine jewellery you can lift it up. I get a lot off complements about my style. I don’t do trends anymore, I have created my own personal style, and it was about time 😉. I’m 56 years now, and I’m in a certain way done with all the new trends that come every week in the stores… it’s not good for our beautiful Mother Earth. So thank you once again!❤
Quiet luxury is also about consideration of those around you. Basic manners. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." In a time in history when so many are struggling with high costs and inflation, quiet luxury is a way for the wealthy to "turn down the volume" on their wealth and show sensitivity to the masses who are genuinely struggling. Any kind of bragging around wealth is always distasteful. But, the timing of this trend is definitely not a post-2020 coincidence. Not wealthy, but it lines up perfectly with my minimalist/classic/neutrals/modest taste. ♥️🇨🇦
Love the idea behind that hair dryer. I would love to see a video on how you shop for investment pieces, the thought process behind when/where to invest more and how to determine if a garment is high quality.
Quiet Luxury has always been my thing and always will be. We used to just call it quiet good taste, I’m age 63. I don’t waste money on poor-quality or faddish clothes.
I would love to see a video on investing in a quality luxury wardrobe. ❤I am on a weight loss journey and buying low price (usually not luxury items) because my size keeps changing but I am firm in my decision to have a small, classic, high quality wardrobe in the end. I’m a little overwhelmed at thought of beginning and I do enjoy your wardrobe advice. Thank you for considering doing one! 💐💕☺️
Yea I had to purchase many items at a flash sale at my local retailer. I don’t feel guilty as none of my clothes fit, and hardly any were comfortable. But now it’s the actual wearing part-I tend to save new or nice pieces for special occasions which defeats the purpose of why I splurged in the first place
Finding high quality clothes in larger sizes is nearly impossible, especially if you are short, like I am. I have lost 55 pounds in the past year and at only 5'1", that meant a lot of size changes. I bought a lot of inexpensive clothes that weren't really my style or color choice. I had to focus on nice accessories to feel good about myself. Good luck to you.
@@kathleenkalt3852 congratulations on the weight loss! Thank you! With patience and time I’m sure we can get the wardrobe we really want.🤞🏻🤞🏻Good luck to you as well!
There was a man in my neighborhood back in the 70’s that used to own Long’s Drug stores throughout CA and Hawaii (521 stores) he was extremely wealthy. He sold the business to CVS in 2008 for 2.9 billion; he would drive around town back in the 1970’s in a Pinto. lol. If you didn’t know him, you would have no clue as to how wealthy he was. Lol
Quiet luxury is a new term but it has been around for ever. I think of Jackie O. I live in Miami and most people here are a walking designer brand billboards. I was always taught that wearing designer labels is what the "new rich" people do.
Love it Jennifer. That is me quiet luxury!! Understated . One does not have to wealthy, the quality discreet, no crowd follower. Not sheep careening down the cliff. Love Bunny Mellon her decorations her books oh my goodness I love watching you. Thank you bellisima 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
There’s also the “millionaire next door” kind of take as well. I know many people who are very successful in my area, yet they simple lives in modest homes (often times out in the country). We do have expensive luxury homes here as well, but I’m not sure who even lives in them at this point.
My clothes never go out of style because I buy classics that I have been wearing for years. Once you know your body shape and style, you will always feel free. Also, fast fashion is destroying our planet. I wore a 23 year old dress on Sunday, and I got compliments on it. 🥰
Yes, please do another video on this topic. I love the look, but I’m often confused of how to get it. So more examples and stores to shop that would be great.
I feel like quiet luxury is self explanatory and I think in the fashion world it actually means luxury-Chanel, Prada, Dior, etc. the article you read actually referred to hermes and max mara. I prefer the term quiet elegance for those that would never shop those brands but still want that mood.
Thank you for this video. I love the idea of quiet luxury and prefer that over the loud and ostentatious way of dressing. It’s just classy. I would love more videos on this subject.
My condolences for your wonderful father, who was always there for you. Please take your time to mourn. My prayers to you and your family.❤ I lost my father in August 2014 after an almost three-year battle with kidney disease and cancer. It left a hole not only for our family but for the community, as he was a surgeon in my small hometown. Therefore, my daughter lost her father figure and was depressed during the entire school year and is still mourning nine years later. Knowing that he is watching over us is comforting. My questions: 1. What are your tea suggestions for fall and winter? 2. With Halloween in full swing, what do you think of decorations that are too scary and how would you deal with them?
Love it. I always enjoy the 10 Item Wardrobe and conversations about personal style. I'm putting together my Autumn Capsule, and I love and appreciate the whimsey as well as casual elegance. Eclectic. We're Mad Hatters some days, Alice others! Definitely pivoting away from the crowd. I also am attracted to the dark academia meets quiet luxury as inspiration. I may end up in a time travel machine (in my imagination!). Creativity. Writing calls. Your channel is always fun, educational, and cultural enrichment. 💕✨
I love the spirit of this approach! One exception for me is a unique, lovely dress or other garment- perhaps something beaded or beautifully painted. I view this as wearable art and it does get “noticed” but I believe it does so because there’s nothing else competing for attention. ❤
I have the same WP Standard tote, but in the tall version. I love it! This will always be my favorite style. Cost-per-wear is definitely what I'm going for, and I love that that doesn't always mean that you need to buy expensive items! 🥰
i think if people really were selective about the fabrics they wear, it would change the entire idea of fashion. I learned this from a really young age. Its actually a bit of a journey to find natural fibers that are unmixed with synthetic.
Thank you Jennifer. I am looking forward to see and hear about what is coming for spring 2024. I am slowly building up a good wardrope, piece by piece. But I need inspiration for the next 6 month.What I had before did not work for me,so I got rid off most off it, and start from scratch with a few good pieces. 😘
Yes! Thank you Jennifer. I have been working towards this for the last several years and then was inspired by you to do the capsule wardrobe. It has revolutionized my life. I tell everyone I know about it. I have now been able to start adding higher quality pieces and I love each piece. Thank you so much for your advocating the lovely way of living life.
Yes, Jennifer. Please do the the video for investment shopping!Can you do the one for the kids clothing as well. Can you recommend some British brands for kids clothing?
Love quiet luxury! I have a black cashmere blazer from 20+ years ago! I’ve yet to try it on as, even after significant weight loss, I fear my arms may still be too large to comfortably fit! Maybe a lovely sleeveless top may help?! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 YES, open to all tips you offer, Jennifer! While I doubt you go thrifting, you frequently surprise me ❤
This is not a trend, it's good common sense in styling. Impeccable taste has no expiration date, I say. I recently saw a photo of Ann Getty from 1977 in Town & Country recently. She is walking out of her home with her footmen and butler. I'd wear her entire look right now today. If it weren't for the caption, I wouldn't have known what decade it was because nothing screams at you. She just looked well put together. It's timeless, dignified, tasteful and elegant. For what it's worth, you embody that Jennifer to me. Blessings always💕🌷😊🍂🍁
As I started to listen to this video I was put off. I found it arrogant. But as I continued, I calmed down. By the end I found I had enjoyed it. My own wardrobe is not large, but almost everything is high quality. It’s made up almost entirely of hand-me-downs (i have an older sister whose work demanded high quality clothing) and thrift store!consignment store items: shoes, suits, slacks, shorts, blouses, swimsuits, golf clothing, sweaters, outerwear. I enjoy wearing as much of my wardrobe as I can, as often as I can.
It’s the articles. They sound pretentious, but I guess as expected. If I was writing about this, maybe it’d say something similar. I feel like quiet luxury is self explanatory. It’s literally quiet luxury
Aspire to the idea bur have a hard time finding quality products. Tips on good quality brands that can be ordered would be appreciated. Thank you for the great content.
I love quiet luxury! For years now I've been moving toward this goal. It takes a while to save up for good pieces. I do have the Skye skirt now and love it. Though I may need it hemmed around the waist? I also have the Oliver Cabell Dream mule in camel. I'd love to get some silk, cashmere, and linen clothes as well. I can't wait to see your video on investment pieces ❤
Nice video. It might be helpful to give examples of people who may have a quiet luxury vibe but enjoy wearing more saturated color and maybe a more glam style personality or a different cultural aesthetic. For instance, I love colorful African prints, chunky jewelry and headwraps which are wonderful, long-lasting fabrics...definitely going to be noticed and some may consider it "flashy" but not inelegant in my view.
I think many fans of the Daily Connoisseur appreciate Elegance and it is their core personal style. Elegance is simple, with softness and flow. A poster above came up with the term Quiet Elegance instead of Quiet Luxury. I like that. I think your scarf epitomises Quiet Elegance - quiet colour and elegant flow. I think you can also be elegant and flambouyant and wear bolder colours and prints.
I agree that there are many ways to be elegant. Most discussions of quiet luxury are very New England/British oriented. I recently bought a nice handbag with no logo in orange. It contrasts nicely with all the bright linen dresses I wear in southern Florida. Neutrals do not work with my skin tone and gray hair. I'd fade away.
I do appreciate the aesthetic of quiet luxury and simple classic dressing but I do have a few problems with this. While some of the quiet luxury look can be recreated on a budget most of the brands associated with this style are really over the top, I'm talking thousands per peice. I hope it doesn't turn into a I'm better than you thing! Also it seems like another trend from celebrities that the average struggle to achieve, especially with the economy and inflation the way it is. And again I love this look and have never been a slave to labels or flashy dressing but wonder if this will be another thing that people seek to purchase. I'm probably not explaining myself very well, sorry for that. Thanks for the video Jennifer and definitely nothing against you.
I think quiet luxury is limited to celebrities and money. I think quiet elegance is a much better term for Those of us who know luxury houses but would never purchase from them
At one time most people dressed in a quiet manner no matter what your social class or income were. It was considered good manners. When I was younger it was seen as ostentatious to be flashy. My parents and grandparents were some of the most elegantly dressed people I’ve ever known. Both had limited budgets, my grandmother made most of her families’ clothes, and neither were even close to being affluent. While this is a concept made fashionable by celebrities recently it once was how most people dressed. I’m 64, I’ve seen a lot of trends come and go.
@@robynwells8249 I completely agree, my parents and grandparents were the same. At that time being well groomed and dressing presentable were the norm, it is so sad how times have changed, I miss seeing people dressed in the day to day, it's a shame to even have to say .
I would love a how to shopping video! I grew up with, buy the cheapest thing possible and wear it until it fell apart. I am at a loss on how to find quality. I have been looking for natural fibers more and more, but would love some tips!
Elegance in quiet luxury is the most classic style. A goal to achieve by anyone wanting to pursue it! Your best vlog on style, Jennifer. Hi, one of your newest subscribers, Dionilita! You're one of the best You Tubers!
I don't think I've ever not dressed this way! I'm not one for following fashion I wear what suits me & what I like 😊 I've been known to start a couple of trends haha! Yes If like to see those videos thank you Jennifer
I am 67 and I've never been a label person - even when it was so trendy to wear clothes with the designers name plastered all over the item! I've always said that my body is not going to be free advertisement for some clothes house - I look for good quality with no visible labels.
Enjoyed your video today! I am in the process of acquiring a wardrobe that is age appropriate and one that will last me throughout my lifetime as I journey into my sixties. Timeless is what I am going for. Please do a video on investment shopping😊
The Franne Golde site looks lovely! Thank you for the tip. I like to keep it simple like this, it’s less stressful. Prayers as you heal from your families loss🙏🏻
I love this look. I have noticed this Fall so many looks that remind me of how I dressed when in my 20's in the 1980's. Very similar to you. I am happy to see a return, and also an interest in natural fibers. My look is classic, romantic, feminine. I do have a challenge of budget, so keep my eye on sales and thrift. Size as an XL or 1X senior can also be a challenge. I just found some rose suede loafers on sale,and look forward to wearing them with my rose cashmere sweater. I have read your book but don't remember the story of your shopping trip. Sounds funny.
Dear Jennifer, I am starting to dislike this trend because it is quite superficial. If someone wants to have that aestehtic, please go ahead, but I think we should return to cultivating internal luxuries more such as education and politeness. This quiet luxury trend feels like a trying hard to appear not trying too hard. I feel like this trend just gives people more ammunition to judge others. And I think judging others is the most inelegant thing to do.
I’d love a video on tips for investment shopping! I recently bought a lot of sustainable clothing due to protecting our environment and avoiding fast fashion. I could use a few other items.
Hi Jennifer, what a fabulous video, thank you! YES! I would love to see a video with your tips!! I continue to hold you in my heart. Take care of yourself. WIth love, Kellie
Great video!!!! YES a video about finding great clothes at a reasonable price. My winters can be quite chilly so some cashmere sounds wonderful ….. at a nice price . Thank you for your content, it’s has helped me transform my life ❤

Love, love, love this episode 🎉My heart is singing!!
My coworker at my old firm was in her late 50s and was always so fashionable. She and her husband had money but never looked like she boasted about it. She was not a label person. She just always looked put together, even if she was dressed casually that day. This is quiet luxury 😊
@@lisamills3571agree Lisa! And thank you, but it’s a pseudonym 😊
My mother used to say “you should wear your labels on the inside!” When you look fabulous people should be drawn to you not your clothes!❤️❤️
I like it!
I work in a wealthy suburb as a nanny/housekeeper and I always get a chuckle to myself when people compliment my attire/appearance. Once a grandma asked me if I had a date that night, and I just had on a black Loft tee and a skirt I paid less than $10 for at Ross. It’s sad that being clean and sharp has become uncommon.
your own initials are enough
I like the term quiet elegance. Luxury equates with something being expensive but elegance can’t be bought. Many years ago before the quiet luxury trend became a trend a sales associate in a store said she always noticed people who dressed quietly. Their clothes whispered instead of shouted “Look at me” Whether it’s a trend or not I have been, and will continue to be all in. Thank you Jennifer!

My core personal style preference is "Elegance".
I love your term "Quiet Elegance".
It appeals to me as an introvert.
The current Quiet Luxury look is all about clothes that look new.
I prefer a softer, more lived in look.
The challenge is the fine line between shabby chic and plain shabby :)
i personally don't think the quiet luxury look is about things that look new at all. imo its more about classic pieces. i think the term maybe thats more reflective of that lived-in look is relaxed elegance. or maybe elegant chic. @@softsophisticate

As someone who doesn't keep up with trends, this video was very helpful! I would love more videos like this and a video on investment shopping. Good taste and discreet elegance will always be in style, but it's refreshing that this is finally on trend now. I'm very grateful to influencers like you who promote these qualities for the younger generation. As a 22- year-old myself, I strongly feel that young people today really need to hear this!!
This has been my style pretty much my entire adult life!!!!! How gratifying to have a name for this, and even be ‘on trend’.
I’m grateful to my Swiss mother for instilling these values and modeling this in a seemingly effortless manner.

It used to be called "classic", then "how to look expensive", then "old money" and now it is "quiet luxury". A new name for what many of us recognize as always being good style in quality fabrics that last.
YES, you nailed it. It is just classic, quality items that are well cared for, and put together harmoniously. It doesn't need to be expensive, just well made. The terms keep changing, but the concept remains the same.

This fall I found 3 cashmere sweaters on Poshmark for a STEAL. My goal is to take special care with them and wear them for years and years. My mother was the queen of quiet luxury. I thought it was boring when I was younger. She's gone now but I have long since appreciated the beauty of her subtle quality, silk, cashmere, jeans, loafers look for years. My role model. She also had a ten item wardrobe but never labled it as such. I am excited about this as well! You've been dressing this forever Jennifer! Makes me smile!
What brands of cashmere do you recommend?
So many comments saying this, but it’s neat to have a term for this “style”. ☺️ Another reason I love a more simple look without labels everywhere is that I do not appreciate supporting brands that do not match my values. The next purse I shop for will be a brand like Mark and Graham that doesn’t feel the need to have their name on the outside.
This is my M.O. and I love that it’s a trend right now. I do a lot of sewing so I’m always incorporating classic styles with the current touch.
This is how I dress mostly in fall and winter. I have a uniform: black thermal tights, merino wool skirt above my knees, a couple cashmere sweaters (I can’t stand being cold), and a cashmere cardigan. OR a velvet dress. In the summer I go for 50’s dresses, satin pink dresses, or long house of ch ones. My style comes alive but still put together.
I love this topic, Jennifer. I have always been drawn to a more understated, elegant look. I've also heard it described as "old money," but like you said, anyone can attain the look at a variety of price points. I always find this look accompanied by a calm and confident presence, without the need to over-share or draw attention to oneself. It's nice to feel like I have a kindred spirit in your channel:)
I love this video, Jennifer! Thank you for explaining what the Quiet Luxury trend is, and mostly, what it is not! I found your explanations very clear and informative. And I could see that it’s a subject you love! Yes, I would love to see a video on investment shopping! I also especially liked what you said (I rephrase as I understood it) about the Quiet Luxury being like a lens through which one looks at one’s true style. Like you, I enjoy both classic and whimsical items of clothing, and I could not let go of the whimsical because it’s really me, and at the same time, I don’t want to always wear whimsical pieces of clothing (if my explanation makes sense!) I don’t know if you will be reading the comments, but if so, know that I’m keeping you and your family in my daily prayers! God bless you!
Quiet luxury seems like a classic way of carrying yourself. I am done buying T-shirts that get holes in them after a few months. I would love a video on higher quality clothing items. I’m so frustrated with the current quality of mall clothing! I even purchased the v neck sweater from mott + bow per your recommendation. 😊
If the holes are near your belly button, it is likely made from a belt buckle - a very common occurance.
I no longer wear t-shirts, at 56 they do me no favours.
I now go for short sleeve, light cotton/viscose/linen, pretty tops or blouses.
Just as easy to put on, just as cool to wear, but looks like I made an effort in an effortless way :)
The effort occured when, like you, I realised t-shirts no longer worked for me - too scruffy, too sporty, and I had to put in the time and effort to think of and shop for alternatives.
My casual outfit formula is now jeans and a lovely top - either a lovely colour, fabric or print, or all 3.
Short sleeve in summer, long sleeve in winter with a cardi.
@@softsophisticate I hear you. I don’t wear belts though. 🙂
Jennifer, I would love to see a video of your top 10 (or 5 or 12 or ?) favorite RUclipsrs and why you like their channels. Thank you.
Great idea but I don’t need to watch more RUclips lol 😅
As young dance majors, years ago, my roomie and I would head out for our weekly treat - Sunday night dinner at a local neighborhood restaurant. We always wore jeans (freshly laundered, no rips or holes) and a blazer. Years later, I made a cross country trip from Virginia to Oregon, and although it was summertime and quite warm, I would put on the same navy gabardine blazer to elevate my jeans and white tee when checking into hotels. It was a quiet luxury presentation to the front desk and I believe it also reflected the way I was treated.
Thank you Jennifer❣️I have enjoyed dressing in quiet luxury since I was young. Carolyn Bisset Kennedy dressed this way and Angelina Jolie does too. It’s true, not many of Ralph Lauren’s clothes go out of style. God bless you and your family❣️🥰💕🙏🏻💕
Ralph Lauren Classic - The epitome of quiet luxury! ❤
I would love to see a video on investment shopping.I’m just starting out after years of cheap fashion - and am so done with it! Also I’m in my mid-40s so I would like pointers on how to dress appropriately and elegantly too. Thank you!
Clothes are never an investment. They are a product we must spend money on, you’ll never receive returns. Yes, some clothes last longer or bring more joy or are more versatile…but it’s never an investment.
Well fitting jeans, a gabardine blazer, a couple of tailored white tees, a navy or black cashmere pullover, and good shoes. An ankle boot will serve you well both with pants and skirts. As to the idea of "investment, Frye boots, for instance, have escalated in price but if you ever decide to sell them, they will hold their value.
@@cjdflkjthis is not what is meant by investment clothing. It's the "returns" that are invested. Investment clothing is high quality, lasting many seasons throughout the year, lasting many years, et al.. The savings comes from not replacing the clothes so often.
That is an interesting point (although you can regain some spending if you decide to sell on high quality pieces). For me, the term "investment" used in this context relates more to investing in ourselves, ie developing our own style and self esteem, and presenting ourselves in the best light (perhaps like the Italian idea of La Bella Figura". h@@cjdflkj
Love quiet luxury. Thought it was just "classic style". Who knew? Anyway, this is the style I feel most comfortable in and try to achieve. Thanks for the video.
This look transcends trends. It never looks out of style, it looks appropriate. Love it!
I love your Dark Academia meets Quiet Luxury short. Would love more of those!
I love this video! Thank you so much! I’ve being wearing since I lost some weight, NPL dresses and skirts for almost 4 years now. I can dress them up and down, and in winter time, I love it to wear these dresses and skirts with high quality wool, and cashmere sweaters. With some fine jewellery you can lift it up. I get a lot off complements about my style. I don’t do trends anymore, I have created my own personal style, and it was about time 😉. I’m 56 years now, and I’m in a certain way done with all the new trends that come every week in the stores… it’s not good for our beautiful Mother Earth. So thank you once again!❤
Quiet luxury is also about consideration of those around you. Basic manners. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
In a time in history when so many are struggling with high costs and inflation, quiet luxury is a way for the wealthy to "turn down the volume" on their wealth and show sensitivity to the masses who are genuinely struggling.
Any kind of bragging around wealth is always distasteful. But, the timing of this trend is definitely not a post-2020 coincidence.
Not wealthy, but it lines up perfectly with my minimalist/classic/neutrals/modest taste.
♥️🇨🇦
Yes, please, and thank you!
I do have a few designer items and enjoy wearing them discretely.
Love the idea behind that hair dryer. I would love to see a video on how you shop for investment pieces, the thought process behind when/where to invest more and how to determine if a garment is high quality.
Quiet Luxury has always been my thing and always will be. We used to just call it quiet good taste, I’m age 63. I don’t waste money on poor-quality or faddish clothes.
What did you wear today? I also can't wear polyester so I need some head to toe inspiration!
I believe you had a part in getting people to elevate their lives. I love your videos and I want to embrace this look.
I would love to see a video on investing in a quality luxury wardrobe. ❤I am on a weight loss journey and buying low price (usually not luxury items) because my size keeps changing but I am firm in my decision to have a small, classic, high quality wardrobe in the end. I’m a little overwhelmed at thought of beginning and I do enjoy your wardrobe advice. Thank you for considering doing one! 💐💕☺️
Yea I had to purchase many items at a flash sale at my local retailer. I don’t feel guilty as none of my clothes fit, and hardly any were comfortable. But now it’s the actual wearing part-I tend to save new or nice pieces for special occasions which defeats the purpose of why I splurged in the first place
Finding high quality clothes in larger sizes is nearly impossible, especially if you are short, like I am. I have lost 55 pounds in the past year and at only 5'1", that meant a lot of size changes. I bought a lot of inexpensive clothes that weren't really my style or color choice. I had to focus on nice accessories to feel good about myself. Good luck to you.
@@kathleenkalt3852 congratulations on the weight loss! Thank you! With patience and time I’m sure we can get the wardrobe we really want.🤞🏻🤞🏻Good luck to you as well!
There was a man in my neighborhood back in the 70’s that used to own Long’s Drug stores throughout CA and Hawaii (521 stores) he was extremely wealthy. He sold the business to CVS in 2008 for 2.9 billion; he would drive around town back in the 1970’s in a Pinto. lol. If you didn’t know him, you would have no clue as to how wealthy he was. Lol
I love everything about this post Jennifer!! My heart is singing!!
I love this trend! It's always been my style! Only I find my pieces at 2nd hand or thrift stores!❤
Yes!!! Second hand is the way to go! More sustainable, more affordable. I love finding beautiful, quality clothing this way. 💕💕💕
For me quiet luxury and style are impersonated by the youtuber Audrey Coyne. Always put together and classy.
Quiet luxury is a new term but it has been around for ever. I think of Jackie O. I live in Miami and most people here are a walking designer brand billboards. I was always taught that wearing designer labels is what the "new rich" people do.
Love it Jennifer.
That is me quiet luxury!! Understated . One does not have to wealthy, the quality discreet, no crowd follower. Not sheep careening down the cliff.
Love Bunny Mellon her decorations her books oh my goodness I love watching you. Thank you bellisima 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
A video on investment shopping would be so helpful, particularly handbags!
There’s also the “millionaire next door” kind of take as well. I know many people who are very successful in my area, yet they simple lives in modest homes (often times out in the country). We do have expensive luxury homes here as well, but I’m not sure who even lives in them at this point.
My clothes never go out of style because I buy classics that I have been wearing for years. Once you know your body shape and style, you will always feel free. Also, fast fashion is destroying our planet. I wore a 23 year old dress on Sunday, and I got compliments on it. 🥰
Yes, please do another video on this topic. I love the look, but I’m often confused of how to get it. So more examples and stores to shop that would be great.
I feel like quiet luxury is self explanatory and I think in the fashion world it actually means luxury-Chanel, Prada, Dior, etc. the article you read actually referred to hermes and max mara.
I prefer the term quiet elegance for those that would never shop those brands but still want that mood.
Thank you for this video. I love the idea of quiet luxury and prefer that over the loud and ostentatious way of dressing. It’s just classy. I would love more videos on this subject.
My condolences for your wonderful father, who was always there for you. Please take your time to mourn. My prayers to you and your family.❤
I lost my father in August 2014 after an almost three-year battle with kidney disease and cancer. It left a hole not only for our family but for the community, as he was a surgeon in my small hometown. Therefore, my daughter lost her father figure and was depressed during the entire school year and is still mourning nine years later. Knowing that he is watching over us is comforting.
My questions:
1. What are your tea suggestions for fall and winter?
2. With Halloween in full swing, what do you think of decorations that are too scary and how would you deal with them?
This is the look I'm finding myself gravitate toward - I didn't even know it had a label! I would love a video with your tips for investment shopping!
I guess I live under a rock, I have not heard the term "quiet luxury" but it sounds to me the same as classic old money style.
It is. Someone coined a new term to make it trendy which is kind of oxymoronic.
Love it. I always enjoy the 10 Item Wardrobe and conversations about personal style. I'm putting together my Autumn Capsule, and I love and appreciate the whimsey as well as casual elegance. Eclectic. We're Mad Hatters some days, Alice others! Definitely pivoting away from the crowd. I also am attracted to the dark academia meets quiet luxury as inspiration. I may end up in a time travel machine (in my imagination!). Creativity. Writing calls. Your channel is always fun, educational, and cultural enrichment. 💕✨
I love the spirit of this approach! One exception for me is a unique, lovely dress or other garment- perhaps something beaded or beautifully painted. I view this as wearable art and it does get “noticed” but I believe it does so because there’s nothing else competing for attention. ❤
But when do you take it off?
I have the same WP Standard tote, but in the tall version. I love it! This will always be my favorite style. Cost-per-wear is definitely what I'm going for, and I love that that doesn't always mean that you need to buy expensive items! 🥰
i think if people really were selective about the fabrics they wear, it would change the entire idea of fashion. I learned this from a really young age. Its actually a bit of a journey to find natural fibers that are unmixed with synthetic.
Thank you Jennifer. I am looking forward to see and hear about what is coming for spring 2024. I am slowly building up a good wardrope, piece by piece. But I need inspiration for the next 6 month.What I had before did not work for me,so I got rid off most off it, and start from scratch with a few good pieces. 😘
Yes, please...investment shopping video. Would love to hear your advice.
Yes! Thank you Jennifer. I have been working towards this for the last several years and then was inspired by you to do the capsule wardrobe. It has revolutionized my life. I tell everyone I know about it. I have now been able to start adding higher quality pieces and I love each piece. Thank you so much for your advocating the lovely way of living life.
Yes, Jennifer. Please do the the video for investment shopping!Can you do the one for the kids clothing as well. Can you recommend some British brands for kids clothing?
Yes please -- to investment shopping video. Thank you!
I just follow my own trend . I buy simple, well made and call it a day.
Love quiet luxury! I have a black cashmere blazer from 20+ years ago! I’ve yet to try it on as, even after significant weight loss, I fear my arms may still be too large to comfortably fit! Maybe a lovely sleeveless top may help?! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 YES, open to all tips you offer, Jennifer! While I doubt you go thrifting, you frequently surprise me ❤
Why be scared? Instead of sleeveless, you might want to opt for sleeves to contribute to the bulk filling in the sleeves
Would love to see a video on luxury items. My favorite trend as well! XO
This is not a trend, it's good common sense in styling. Impeccable taste has no expiration date, I say. I recently saw a photo of Ann Getty from 1977 in Town & Country recently. She is walking out of her home with her footmen and butler. I'd wear her entire look right now today. If it weren't for the caption, I wouldn't have known what decade it was because nothing screams at you. She just looked well put together. It's timeless, dignified, tasteful and elegant. For what it's worth, you embody that Jennifer to me. Blessings always💕🌷😊🍂🍁
She was a photographer, right?
Interior designer, socialite, philanthropist and daughter in law to J.Paul Getty
I have just looked that photo up - wow, a very timeless black and white outfit that as you rightly say, you could wear today.
ok. im not familiar. not sure who paul getty is either. is he a photographer. why does getty images sound familiar lol@@anye76
can you link it?@@softsophisticate
I remember hearing stealth wealth when The Row first debuted. I’ve been a fan ever since.
I love a nice, classic piece of clothing, it never goes out of style! Thank you for this video!
Been dressing this way always!
As I started to listen to this video I was put off. I found it arrogant. But as I continued, I calmed down. By the end I found I had enjoyed it. My own wardrobe is not large, but almost everything is high quality. It’s made up almost entirely of hand-me-downs (i have an older sister whose work demanded high quality clothing) and thrift store!consignment store items: shoes, suits, slacks, shorts, blouses, swimsuits, golf clothing, sweaters, outerwear. I enjoy wearing as much of my wardrobe as I can, as often as I can.
It’s the articles. They sound pretentious, but I guess as expected. If I was writing about this, maybe it’d say something similar. I feel like quiet luxury is self explanatory. It’s literally quiet luxury
Aspire to the idea bur have a hard time finding quality products. Tips on good quality brands that can be ordered would be appreciated. Thank you for the great content.
The ones she likes are in the description box. Though you can never go wrong with department store brands as well
Thank you Jennifer. I am a quiet luxury girl. Please do a video on investment shopping / purchasing. Im always interested in another's point of view.
I love quiet luxury! For years now I've been moving toward this goal. It takes a while to save up for good pieces. I do have the Skye skirt now and love it. Though I may need it hemmed around the waist? I also have the Oliver Cabell Dream mule in camel. I'd love to get some silk, cashmere, and linen clothes as well. I can't wait to see your video on investment pieces ❤
Yes please a video on investment shopping!
Nice video. It might be helpful to give examples of people who may have a quiet luxury vibe but enjoy wearing more saturated color and maybe a more glam style personality or a different cultural aesthetic. For instance, I love colorful African prints, chunky jewelry and headwraps which are wonderful, long-lasting fabrics...definitely going to be noticed and some may consider it "flashy" but not inelegant in my view.
I think many fans of the Daily Connoisseur appreciate Elegance and it is their core personal style.
Elegance is simple, with softness and flow.
A poster above came up with the term Quiet Elegance instead of Quiet Luxury. I like that.
I think your scarf epitomises Quiet Elegance - quiet colour and elegant flow.
I think you can also be elegant and flambouyant and wear bolder colours and prints.
I agree that there are many ways to be elegant. Most discussions of quiet luxury are very New England/British oriented. I recently bought a nice handbag with no logo in orange. It contrasts nicely with all the bright linen dresses I wear in southern Florida. Neutrals do not work with my skin tone and gray hair. I'd fade away.
I do appreciate the aesthetic of quiet luxury and simple classic dressing but I do have a few problems with this. While some of the quiet luxury look can be recreated on a budget most of the brands associated with this style are really over the top, I'm talking thousands per peice. I hope it doesn't turn into a I'm better than you thing! Also it seems like another trend from celebrities that the average struggle to achieve, especially with the economy and inflation the way it is. And again I love this look and have never been a slave to labels or flashy dressing but wonder if this will be another thing that people seek to purchase. I'm probably not explaining myself very well, sorry for that. Thanks for the video Jennifer and definitely nothing against you.
I think quiet luxury is limited to celebrities and money. I think quiet elegance is a much better term for
Those of us who know luxury houses but would never purchase from them
At one time most people dressed in a quiet manner no matter what your social class or income were. It was considered good manners. When I was younger it was seen as ostentatious to be flashy. My parents and grandparents were some of the most elegantly dressed people I’ve ever known. Both had limited budgets, my grandmother made most of her families’ clothes, and neither were even close to being affluent. While this is a concept made fashionable by celebrities recently it once was how most people dressed. I’m 64, I’ve seen a lot of trends come and go.
@@robynwells8249 I completely agree, my parents and grandparents were the same. At that time being well groomed and dressing presentable were the norm, it is so sad how times have changed, I miss seeing people dressed in the day to day, it's a shame to even have to say .
I would love to hear some shopping tips from you!
Your 10-item wardrobe concept has been a game changer for me and my family. We buy only items of durable quality. It is a a great stress reliever.
I would love a how to shopping video! I grew up with, buy the cheapest thing possible and wear it until it fell apart. I am at a loss on how to find quality. I have been looking for natural fibers more and more, but would love some tips!
Elegance in quiet luxury is the most classic style. A goal to achieve by anyone wanting to pursue it! Your best vlog on style, Jennifer. Hi, one of your newest subscribers, Dionilita! You're one of the best You Tubers!
I don't think I've ever not dressed this way! I'm not one for following fashion I wear what suits me & what I like 😊 I've been known to start a couple of trends haha! Yes If like to see those videos thank you Jennifer
It's more than a "put together" outfit... it's the way you carry yourself as well.☺️👍🏽
True and that aura can not be faked! ❤
I would Love to see a video on your tips for investment shopping!!
I loved this show today! Thank you! ❤❤
Who knew? I’ve been this way my entire life! Finally I’m trendy for the first time in my life! 😂
I would love to see a video on ‘tips for investment shopping’.
I am 67 and I've never been a label person - even when it was so trendy to wear clothes with the designers name plastered all over the item! I've always said that my body is not going to be free advertisement for some clothes house - I look for good quality with no visible labels.
Yes to an investment shopping video!❤
Enjoyed your video today! I am in the process of acquiring a wardrobe that is age appropriate and one that will last me throughout my lifetime as I journey into my sixties. Timeless is what I am going for. Please do a video on investment shopping😊
Thanks, Jennifer. I would love to see a video on investment shopping.
The Franne Golde site looks lovely! Thank you for the tip.
I like to keep it simple like this, it’s less stressful.
Prayers as you heal from your families loss🙏🏻
I love this look. I have noticed this Fall so many looks that remind me of how I dressed when in my 20's in the 1980's. Very similar to you. I am happy to see a return, and also an interest in natural fibers. My look is classic, romantic, feminine. I do have a challenge of budget, so keep my eye on sales and thrift. Size as an XL or 1X senior can also be a challenge. I just found some rose suede loafers on sale,and look forward to wearing them with my rose cashmere sweater.
I have read your book but don't remember the story of your shopping trip. Sounds funny.
Yes I totally agree, everything is 80s looking. Not always in a good way imo as I was a late 80s baby 😅
Dear Jennifer, I am starting to dislike this trend because it is quite superficial. If someone wants to have that aestehtic, please go ahead, but I think we should return to cultivating internal luxuries more such as education and politeness. This quiet luxury trend feels like a trying hard to appear not trying too hard. I feel like this trend just gives people more ammunition to judge others. And I think judging others is the most inelegant thing to do.
I’d love a video on tips for investment shopping! I recently bought a lot of sustainable clothing due to protecting our environment and avoiding fast fashion. I could use a few other items.
I loved this video! Yes, more videos on how to achieve this look and the best ways to investment shop! Thanks Jennifer!❤
Yay, finally my personal style has come around.
I love this look - it’s just so classic and very me. And yes I would love to see a video on investment shopping.
I loved this video, I would love to see more!
Hi Jennifer, what a fabulous video, thank you! YES! I would love to see a video with your tips!! I continue to hold you in my heart. Take care of yourself. WIth love, Kellie
I love the quiet luxury look! It's classic yet up-to-date and fresh.
Great video!!!!
YES a video about finding great clothes at a reasonable price. My winters can be quite chilly so some cashmere sounds wonderful ….. at a nice price .
Thank you for your content, it’s has helped me transform my life ❤
