Affordable Ways To Rock The Quiet Luxury Trend

Have you heard of the Quiety Luxury trend? In a nutshell, it’s the idea that uber-wealthy celebrities don’t shout their wealth by wearing logo-covered clothing but instead spend stupid amounts of money on luxury items that are understated. Confused? Don’t worry! I’m going to show you affordable ways to rock the quiet luxury trend!

Affordable Ways To Rock the Quiet Luxury Trend – The Luxury

Quiet luxury means wearing very expensive brands that are simple in design. If you’re a fan of the Olsen twins, you may know that they have their own fashion design company called The Row. The designs are, well, I’ll let you see for yourself. Don’t panic when you see the prices. Keep scrolling, and you’ll see how I’ve created the same looks for much less.

Here’s a pair of their black wool pants. If you like them, they can be yours for $1,190 dollars. As crazy as that sounds, they are sold out in a couple of sizes! But there’s no logo, etc., to identify the label. That’s the point of quiet luxury.

Of course, the quiet luxury trend calls for a simple but expensive top.

Here’s a cashmere sweater from their site. Yours for $2750! While I may joke about the costs of these items, black and white is a classic. It’s a great look that won’t go out of style.

And to finish off the look, here’s your plain black purse. Don’t think the simplicity means it’s inexpensive. The cost? $1090 dollars. 🙂

The grand total for this look??

Now for the Tania version of these looks. Spoiler alert – it’s a whole lot more affordable.

Affordable Ways To Rock the Quiet Luxury Trend – The Budget Friendly Version

Cashmere is a luxury fabric, so an affordable way to rock the quiet luxury trend post without finding an affordable cashmere would just be wrong. Another thing that would be just plain wrong is paying $2750 for a cashmere sweater when you can get the Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater that looks this good for only $50! My sweater might not be as thick as the Row version, but I could rebuy it for YEARS and still come out ahead.

My Black Ultra-Stretch Ponte Straight Leg Pants fit so well! As soon as I slipped these on, I immediately ordered them in Olive, Charcoal, and Navy. I own the Spanx Perfect Pants, and these pants are comparable but are only $39!

I still love my three-compartment Pearl Crossbody. This crossbody is large enough for all my essentials, and the three compartments allow me to keep everything organized. Right now, the crossbody is on sale, but even at full price, it doesn’t come close the the Row handbag.

Affordable Ways To Rock the Quiet Luxury Trend – More Luxury

Here’s another example from The Row, this time a little more casual but not a lot less expensive.

Evidently, it costs a lot of money to make jeans quietly because these are $790 dollars! I have been known to spend more on good jeans, but unless these make me look three sizes smaller, I think I’ll pass.

I love the look of a plain cashmere sweater and a pair of jeans. I mean, that really does say luxury. But, come on. This v-neck cashmere sweater is priced at $1550, and it is sold out everywhere! 😳 All these items add up. Once the shock has worn off, scroll to see my version.

Affordable Ways To Rock the Quiet Luxury Trend – Tania’s Version

The V-Neck Cashmere Sweater is soft, luxurious, casual looking, and only $50! I love a v-neckline the best since it helps to elongate my neck. The ivory sweater is thin, so you can see the jeans through it, but I’m not bothered by that. However, if it bugs you, I have this sweater in several other colors, and you can’t see through those.

These pull-on jeans are Oprah’s Favorites, or at least the website says they are. The only thing I have against these jeans is that the elastic waist extends all the way around instead of just in the back. However, as long as your sweater or top covers the waistband, they look great. These jeans are less than $30, and I would have expected Oprah’s Favorite pair of jeans to be slightly more expensive. Lol!

Affordable Ways To Rock the Quiet Luxury Trend – The Basics

Here are a few basic items to have in your closet if you love the idea of quiet luxury.

A great blazer is a must-have. I love bright colors and tweeds, etc. but quiet luxury is more understated. That’s doesn’t mean it’s boring. The gold buttons are a nice touch. This is a classic that you can wear forever and a day.

A crisp white shirt is a simple way to look understated and classy. The key is to keep your shirt bright white and wrinkle-free. This is a relaxed fit version that goes with the whole laid-back, too busy on the yacht to work vibe. It’s on sale for $50 dollars so grab it while you can!

Oprah may love the jeans above, but if I could only have one pair, it would be a dark pair of boot-cut jeans. Trends come and go, but boot-cut never goes out of style. The dark wash is dressier than lighter jeans and looks chic. These are mid-rise, too, and very flattering on almost everyone. Imagine these jeans with the white shirt and blazer. Perfection!

Nothing says luxury like satin! It’s a great idea to have at least one satin shirt in your wardrobe to pull out on special occasions. Over the years of doing this blog, I learned that satin is actually a type of weave, not a fabric, which is why this shirt can be 97% polyester and 3% spandex and still be a satin shirt! All I know is that it’s beautiful and a classic.

I love a great pair of trousers! Pleated pants are all the rage right now, and these have just the right amount of swagger. I am showing them in tan so that you can see the pleat, but they also come in black and pinstripe. They are made out of modal, a very soft material, so the hang is just right.

Finally, luxury, quiet or otherwise, is all about the shoes. Brown loafers on everywhere, and this pair is gorgeous. I love a classic tassel loafer, and these from Talbots are beautiful. They are $150 dollars, but for a leather shoe that you can wear forever, I think they’re worth it. I mean, they’re not $1200 loafers from The Row, but I think they will do. Lol!

I hope you see that you CAN look like a million dollars without spending a ton of money. Go for classic silhouettes in neutral colors. No one but you and your accountant will know what you’ve spent!
