Under-Statement Pieces for the Quiet Luxury Lover
If you’re not one for shouting your style from the rooftops, this curation is for you. Whether you’re dressing for a scene, to be seen or to feature in an obscure zine, this is the rundown for when you’re flying under the radar with certifiable looks that whisper, rather than shout.
Hand-selected items that play off of each other, with colorways that sizzle and simmer, rather than crackle and pop. Whether you’re more for Gwyneth's courtroom wardrobe of pared down essentials or J-Law's luxe meets utilitarian style, slip into something more comfortable, grab a cup of coffee and walk with us as we talk you through investment pieces that will elevate any wardrobe.
We find that being understated is often more convincing than making a lot of noise. Check out the below and see if you agree.
Valentino Long Coat
If you were hoping for quiet price tags to go with your quiet luxury, we may need to let you down gently. This Valentino cover-up is not exactly a steal, but we can guarantee people will be stealing glances. We’re here for the subtle pleat detail at the back, lending this a construction reminiscent of a cape - a hero item to lift a basic jeans and tee combo.
Jil Sander Striped Cotton Shirt
What a shirt, what a mighty, mighty good shirt. We can’t help but swoon when we see the hallmarks of quiet luxury in the form of a hidden placket, a barely-there monogrammed ‘JS’ and a button-up worthy of a modern-day dandy. You’re set to tackle the night after tackling those deadlines.
Dries Van Noten Cotton Pleated Pants
Low-rise and baggy? You’d think we were back in the Y2K era. This happens to be a stealth wealth piece packing brushed cotton and Cupro material, with front pleating and pockets for a casual, relaxed fit.
Bottega Veneta Light Wool Turtleneck Sweater
This turtleneck has a slight cowl, making it a more laid back alternative to the traditional iteration. The stark white lends it a sophisticated edge - rolling up your sleeves never looked so good.
Gucci Drill Pants With Web Detail
These trousers lend stealthy wealthy flair, by way of clean lines, a crisp cut and a cuffed finish. They are delightfully versatile - the dark navy acts as a great accent to the OTT white, black and brown color palette that usually characterizes a quiet luxury collection.
Large Croissant Coated Cotton Crossbody
Whether you think this looks like a croissant, or something else entirely, it can definitely be said to be a statement piece. The brown crossbody comes with a zip pouch for easy access to essentials - no need to puff up your chest, this does it for you.
Saint Laurent Silk Shirt
This silk shirt features blink-and-you’ll-miss it YSL embroidery, a signature move for a quiet luxury staple. You wouldn’t be able to tell just by looking at it, but to the trained eye, this is giving lashings of lavishness.
Maison Margiela Tailored Suit
If you’ve secretly been eyeing your dad’s old retro 70s bell-bottoms, look no further. We’ve got just the suit for you. These feature a flared cut trouser, and one-button jacket, making this a vintage inspired darling to impress any bright young thing.
Thom Browne Cotton Jersey Sweatshirt W/ Knit Stripe
At a more reasonable price point than its predecessors, this Thom Browne sweatshirt distinguishes itself with a 3-toned knit stripe down the back. Comfy and stylish, a great piece to go over whatever you happen to be wearing for a late night coworking session at one of Berlin’s hottest open-plans.
Bottega Veneta Straight Cotton Denim Jeans
Rip skinny jeans. These straight legged alternatives are bleachy keen and hot off the runway - Bottega Veneta, you had us at hello.
