One thing about the fashion girlies: we're going to romanticize trends. This time: "quiet luxury" (a.k.a what TikTok calls the #OldMoneyAesthetic) has all of our attention. You’ve most likely heard by now, but if not, I’m here to fill you in. Coming in as one of the biggest trends of spring 2023, "quiet luxury" is basically Succession (have you watched?) meets "Normcore" (basic dressing). It’s polished and tailored—low-key, but high in quality! It's understated, yet a statement. Wearing the biggest name brands without the logo is the vibe now.

Brands like The Row, Brunello Cucinelli, Khaite, Loro Piana, and Max Mara have built their collections on the foundation of this trend, and are worn on the likes of Victoria Beckham, Kendall Jenner, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Defined mostly by investment pieces, tailored suiting, neutral colors, and all things minimalistic—less is more when it comes to "quiet luxury," however, it doesn’t have to cost you a fortune. Wealth doesn't equate to "good taste" in fashion but lucky for you we have tons of it (style, we mean). Keep scrolling for your very own "quiet luxury" starter-pack on-a-budget to help you live out your Shiv Roy dreams.

Our picks for how to best accomplish the "quiet luxury" trend on a budget in 2023:

Unintentional flexing is the real flex. And now it's your time in the limelight—or, shadows rather?! With these essentials (chic dresses, must-have sneakers, jewelry, bags, etc.), you'll be living, breathing, and slaying (obvi) quiet luxury.
