Quiet Luxury : here’s what I have to say

[@Saveniadesigns]

“Trends are for people who don’t have their own style yet”

[@mjthegray]

My mind is BLOWN lol 😅

[@ginamorris4520]

Not all encompassing. Some people just look good even when they are wearing trends and those that just have a bleh style but its their style.

[@Saveniadesigns]

@@ginamorris4520 I guess whatever makes a person feel confident is the best, anyone can find things like that

[@littleyellabird4719]

!!!!!!!

[@AliasEveWatches]

So true!

[@imanaqvi]

Thank you so much for this video! I’m already tired of how most KZbinrs are approaching this topic. It’s amazing how no one considers their own personal style and what looks good on them or what they like, and jump on the trend bandwagon like there’s no tomorrow. I purchased my bags because I like them, I enjoy carrying them, and they look good on me. To be honest, I don’t care what the current trend is. I will continue to use all my bags- the ones that have logos and the ones that don’t.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yay!! Good for you!! You keep doing you! 👏

[@jennifermcmillan2588]

I will wear what I like … not what is trending. Isn’t copying others what 🐑 do ?

[@emptylikebox]

People just like to jump on the bandwagon so most of them don't have their own personality. They're just a copy of a copy. Their sense of style is based on what others are doing or trendy at the moment. Fashion is an expression of oneself. If you're happy with prints and logos do it.

[@bern8378]

You’re right, I’m already tired of the quiet luxury topic. Quiet luxury has been existing for a long time and some people like it but others don’t. I believe people should wear what they love

[@fashionandluxury101]

Please ladies wear what u want! Don’t let anyone define your style!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

🙌

[@drcynthiabmcneill]

Finally, someone that is realistic about the mood factor in luxury and style. I am more of a classic girl, but there are times when I throw in my logos. Another thing is the Louis Vuitton never full where they will say that the reason they don't like it because it is knocked off too often, but they will wear Chanel, Lady Dior, Birkin, and/or Kelly which are so copied it is hard to spot the real ones. All of which I have in my collection. Great insights.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Seriously, we have a whole range of moods! Why limit the way we style ourselves! 😉

[@anna-liisapitkaaho-pussila770]

I use the bags that I have, whether they are quiet or loud. Great video, take care! 🌼

[@hellocatwalkcity]

You nailed it! Whatever it is, enjoy what you’ve got. ❤️

[@courtneyd.4061]

Great video! I'm very interested in lowering the cost per wear with my handbags and SLG's, so I use them all interchangeably (the only self-assigned guideline I abide by is using certain handbags during certain seasons due to their color). Life's too short! Use the bags! Wear the clothes! Be happy in your own style!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes! We bought them, so why not use and enjoy them! 😊

[@debraalleyne1760]

Its a marketing ploy to get people to buy a whole new wardrobe. It doesn't serve their financial interests if you are able to shop your closet.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Say it again, louder for the people in the back!! 🙌

[@KSlivinghappy]

Preach!!!!!!

[@jessiejessie661]

SO TRUE!

[@daenytargaryen8929]

Exactly!now that the new phoebe philo brand that is partly share by lvmh is coming...this trends are dictated by big luxury company thats they brought a lot of luxury brands so they can push the trend across all there brands....

[@lovinglife419]

Exactly!!!

[@hhueter]

My take is the pressure for "quiet luxury" seems pretty judgy, in that who push for it or look down on others who are more logo'd/flashy. Fashion is fun because people have personal style. Some people are going to go all in for the monogram and flash (e.g. cassie thorpe) some are more classic (you, sohpie shohet). I view both sides as incredibly fashionable. Like you said it'd be pretty boring if we all dressed the same. I have a pretty colorful wardrobe (lots of jewel tones), but i accessorize with neutral bags/shoes. I just look and feel better in brighter colors than neutrals.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’m totally with you! More variety, more fun! I think Cassie looks happy and radiant in her own style and Sophie looks confident and comfortable in who she is. Fashion is just an outward accessory to how we are inside. We get to decide what we want to show the world each day - fun, colorful, bold… quiet, understated.. whatever it is. ❤️

[@gen_o]

We wear and use what works for us. Some days, I feel like going around in an understated mini bag that fits only my phone and keys. Other days, I feel like running around with my ludicrously capacious Mary Poppins bag that fits my kitchen sink and the entire pantry. 😂

[@parishers6351]

Same.

[@lovinglife419]

Exactly. People forget fashion is self-expression. I say wear what you feel good in.

[@connien7693]

Life is too short, do what makes you happy ❤

[@mauishopgirll]

Agreed! I actually find LV canvas to be a very classic look, excluding the giant or collab items. Not trendy at all in my personal opinion . There are also trends in fashion and retail. There are also social media trends, what is being discussed on social media, which isn’t necessarily based on actual retail figures or fashion industry editorials. I find the social media content trend to be short lived and while I listen to it for entertainment I don’t take any of it seriously as in no time there will be another trending topic. I’m in planner groups too and see the same. A size or brand of cover will trend due to a very aesthetic influencer and by the next month everyone will have moved on to the next thing. Many of these bag vids also focus on what other people think or looking rich or old rich or new rich or whatever. I don’t dress for others ever so I find it very bizarre, the concept of wanting to look a certain type of rich.

[@MrsVanB]

I wholeheartedly agree with your comment! 🙌🏾

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So so well said!!! 👏

[@Oceangirl1234]

I agree. And I don’t like the giant logos. Tacky

[@mjthegray]

I love this message. I am on average a no-label, pro “quiet luxury” person most days, but I own a coach bag with the monogram jacquard print, and love using it every now and again because I love the idea of showing off. The quiet luxury trend is cool, but that doesn’t mean it’s a faux pas to wear labels if it makes you feel cool! I personally LOVE seeing people with the label show off-ing. It shows their style, confidence. I’m all for team wearing whatever the heck you want!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I hear you!! I see some gorgeous people decked out head to toe in logo mania and I think, woah! It’s not necessarily for me but I love the eye candy and variety!

[@LadyBug1383]

Interestingly, your Celine classic bag caught my eye instantly compared to your monogrammed bags! It’s more quiet, but it stands out more.

[@pure_indulgence8144]

Great video! It’s a great point to make that the move towards quiet luxury is honestly another trend and we really should only follow it if it’s a reflection of our own style. I tend to dress on the louder side but I appreciate how striking monochromatic outfits are and incorporate that into my style. But the world would be boring if we all followed the trend and dressed the same! For that reason I tend to shy away from most trends because I feel like my creativity is being taken away. Moral of the story, just wear and buy what you love. Don’t let social media dictate your look!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Absolutely! Trends are fun, but the point is, to have our own style shine through. 😊

[@cherbs1207]

Oh my, how did you know that I’ve been struggling with the idea of this “quiet luxury.” I’ve seriously been considering which items to sell from my collection. I really love my collection right now, but for some reason I’ve been thinking I should sell some of my “louder” items. I DO NOT want to do this, but I’ve felt a little pressure to do so. I’m not sure from where, maybe KZbin/social media with this whole “Quitting KZbin” and “price increase” yada yada yada drama. Your video and perspective is a breath of fresh air. I am going to keep my current collection intact, because it’s what I love and what makes me happy to wear when I’m in the mood. Again, great timing with this content. ~With much respect and appreciation, Christina 😊

[@MrsVanB]

You should always wear what you love. Enjoy your louder items in your collection and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. 😊

[@mjthegray]

Yes! Don’t give up something because of societal pressures. If it makes you happy you have every reason to keep and enjoy it.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Christina dear!! I’m so glad you saw this video because it bugs me to think you were second-guessing yourself and the items you enjoy. Please continue enjoying what you love. Trends will come and go, and the conversations will change so rapidly that we’ll all forget about this “quiet luxury” business the minute the next thing starts trending. Stay true to who you are.

[@faithfindsfashion3998]

I have a few facets to my personality I enjoy all extremes from “Totally Quiet to bold and colorful. I don’t fit into any box exclusively and that is the fun of life! Enjoy all types of self expression through fashion and don’t concern yourself with what others think. Just be You!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Exactly

[@shxna]

Years ago, I found out that buying into trends that did not suite my style or body would result in a lot of waste. My style throughout the years has been pretty constant and curated. With some pieces added as needed. Also, I tend to get uncomfortable when I'm asked about my designer items. I think it's because money is personal for me and I've received some criticism in the past for luxury goods. But once again, that's a personal issue I just have to deal with.

[@jackieduplessy1459]

I have a very quiet luxury although I have some loud bags. I always feel uncomfortable wearing loud luxury. Feeling all eyes are on me… something I need to overcome since a lot of my bags are not being used although I love them… thanks for sharing. Truly love your style. Take care.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I think what works best for us is what makes us feel comfortable and confident. If anything you own is making you feel the opposite, it may be worth evaluating the underlying reasons. I’ve purchased bright pops of colors and shimmery bags in an effort to go outside my comfort zone.. all to realize quickly that they simply don’t work for me. So I’ve let those items go.

[@kelvinwong829]

I love your take on this! So inspirational! I feel like a lot of times we forget to actually wear what makes us happy, sometimes we just wear what we think other people will like. I have very loud LV bags and very quiet Gucci bag as well and I love all of them equally depending on where I'm going or what I'm doing! This video needs to be shared to more people, especially the fashion elitists!

[@kelvinwong829]

Also you've earned a sub from me!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw thank you Kelvin!

[@nataliexrd256]

Fashion has to keep us thinking and feeling the stuff we have is not enough. It's honestly all marketing to get us to buy more more more. Thank you for showing empathy to others for their own path/style and not making it about being right/wrong.

[@raaziabanks2552]

Personally I find LV canvas sooo neutral for my wardrobe and I love the fact that I do not have to worry about matching colours and shoes and scarves etc. to my bag. I have curated LV bags for all occasions and they compliment my style very well. The canvas is very durable and easy to use for me. Whenever I use my leather bags, even black, I have to carefully choose how I am styling them.

[@ronnie-lynn]

Which the monogram?

[@raaziabanks2552]

I have few monogram pieces, Damier azure and a vintage multicolour in white. I have the kirigami and SLGs in monogram so it all matches well. And there has been very little wear and tear on SLGs even though I use them everyday.

[@raaziabanks2552]

@@ronnie-lynn and forgot to mention, it is so lightweight.

[@ronnie-lynn]

@@raaziabanks2552 I struggle to style my speedy monogram bag. I’ve had it for 15 years and it just doesn’t go with much in my wardrobe. So I was very interested by your comment that you find it neutral. It’s very warm toned for me.

[@raaziabanks2552]

I do not have speedy…controversial opinion…I have struggled to warm up to it even though it is a classic piece. I think it’s a shape that would not work for me. The largest piece I have is NeoNoe. I find it quite comfortable and I like how it fits in snugly once on shoulder.

[@MH65630]

I really enjoy these types of videos where you speak about what's trending, or just generally speaking about what is on your mind. I can agree with you where some days, I want to accessorize with a bag that is more loud; and sometimes I want to keep my outfit more muted and simple. I think there are different places and times where you want to make a statement, or where you want to keep it chic and minimalistic - neither are right or wrong (for the most part if we're talking about dress codes and such). We can choose how we like to present ourselves externally how we please, and I think staying true to who you are and/or what you're feeling, that's what is important!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Absolutely, well said!! 💕

[@Magarita810]

I prefer bags that have discreet logo's. I take public transport and where I work people do not carry designer stuff. So in both situations do not want to bring attention to myself. Nothing wrong with logo's but like the mystery of carry a bag that no one can identify.

[@juliel4096]

I love colors, mostly designer, but also luxury brands. I bought a Burberry shirt but there was no logo, except on a small tag on the bottom. My SIL commented on it and asked where I bought it. I told her Burberry and she was shocked. she said why would I spend money on the shirt if it didn’t look like Burberry. I told her I liked the cut and if fit nicely. This was 20years ago and I still wear that non-descript shirt!

[@stephv7527]

I agree with you 100%. I don’t need or want to overdose on labels or logos. A little something here and there shows more class imo.. I prefer “quiet luxury” most days but , if I’m just in the mood, then wearing “obvious “ designer brands are good for the occasion/ event.

[@llkoolbean4935]

I think part of the quiet luxury trend is a response to the relentless price increases for luxury goods, even when we've seen the quality go down so I feel some people are fed up. But I agree, the world is a rainbow and we all need to wear what we love. Luv your channel.

[@bijouxducoeur]

Yes, this is an important point and helps explain why some people have adopted this idea of quiet luxury as an alternative to the attitudes of many fashion houses.

[@llkoolbean4935]

@@bijouxducoeur Totally agree

[@KSlivinghappy]

Wonderful video 🎉 I have been a quiet luxury person since my teen years. I agree, I think this is a trend. Quiet luxury is not new. I hope people will not sell their existing inventory for this trend to only need to buy back inventory they honestly already owned for the next trend. Also, I love when you said, “I use it when I use it”. I was loving on my inventory and enjoying it no matter the bag size. I didn’t even notice this is the age of small bags until watching youtube videos. Following trends equal less discretionary money in growth earning investments, anxiety and low self-esteem because of not following the herd.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

You know, you make such a great point. If we all quit social media, we wouldn’t even know about these trends and we’d simply be happy enjoying what we have. Social media has increased the pace and the frenzy around fashion trends. As for ppl selling their stuff… yes, I worry that there will be impulse selling followed by regret. I hear this a lot. I’ll actually be addressing this in an upcoming video!

[@EuSteph]

I really appreciate you making this video. Completely agree with the "you do you" mentality. I have noticed that some of the people who preach about quiet luxury do it as a way to try to "elevate" themselves and belittle others which sucks.

[@khrs1]

I suppose the reason I am ok with my logo bags is because I don’t wear logos anywhere else… the only staple piece to stand would be my bag…now for people who wear logo from head to toe which is their business might want to pipe it down..things should be done tastefully,however, that’s just my opinion and we are all entitled to think different. Great vid!

[@rhyedgreat]

Super true! All the things you said is indeed right. When we buy luxury things we buy it because we thought that it's beautiful and fits our style. Not because of its logo or loud lux. Just sad that some people have a negative outlook for everything.

[@magnoliarose5910]

I prefer quiet lux. I love quality, I can have a flamboyant colorful style, but I don’t like logos. I often hide the logos on my items.

[@missmegs37]

i personally am more of a minimalist, classic style kind of girl and after coming to terms with it, I think my style has gotten better since I am more creative with my looks and accepting that this is my style...instead of trying to fit what's always "trending." I do have my celine ava bag that I adore that adds a bit of something to my more plain outfits, but then again, I typically go for bags with interesting shapes too

My last few bags have been logo free. But I still wear all my bags. I have a few LV canvas bags. The last 2 LV bags have been leather without logos. I was venturing out because I already had enough brown canvas bags. But I still plan to wear them.

[@lemontartlett]

You are so on point! Wear what you like and do you. I'm the same, I prefer my bags to be classic, branding or not. If I like the style and shape, it will have longevity in my handbag rotation. My wardrobe is also quite neutral, black, white, cream and tan with a few brightly colored items sprinkled in it. I think having a neutral clothing palette allows the handbag, logo or not, to shine.

[@idaranwa4370]

Thanks for sharing your opinion! I feel this is not a trend. This has been going on for a long time. It’s just now getting a name because it’s trending. Not every one wants to be a marketing tool for big named companies.

I don’t care what anyone thinks, I adore LV and I think the monogram is beautiful so I happily and proudly wear bags, shawls, scarves, belts and anything else with the LV monogram on it. I don’t find the Gucci monogram attractive so I don’t wear it. It’s that simple. I wear what I find appealing, I’m not going to change my taste and personal style based on what people say. For example, the world has been wearing “boyfriend pants” and bell bottoms the past few years and skinny jeans are apparently no longer in style- do I care? No. I’ve been wearing skinny jeans since 2010 and I don’t plan to stop 🤷‍♀️

[@landalanda]

It’s just personal taste. For most of my life I wanted quiet luxury because I didn’t want to stand out. In recent years I’ve had some breakthroughs in my life that now I’m ok being seen and stand out so I buy color bags and bold logos. Although I’ve always liked bold logos I was too afraid to buy it because I could be standing out. I still love black in clothing and bags, but I’m starting to branch out to have colors in my clothes too. So for me I’m all about bold and loud logos on my handbags now, but I still enjoy my quiet luxury ones. I feel that both come into play in different situations and I’m happy to be more comfortable standing out being seen and heard. ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aw that’s very cool that you’ve started feeling more comfortable to play with your style. I think sometimes our fashion choices reflect how we’re feeling inside and there will be days we don’t want any attention and other days when we feel loud and proud. 😉

[@vickyl1010]

I agree with you! Wear what you want and what makes you feel good about yourself. I resonate more with quiet luxury and understated accessories, but sometimes I do like to wear things that pop or have a pop of color💕. Bottom line..if I'm wearing it, it's cool😎😎

But I have never sold a bag because I buy what I like and not what’s “in”. As I’m getting older I do find myself going more towards bags that are “quiet”. But I also thinks it’s because I find a lot of the “louder” bags to be repetitive. I have six LV canvas bags and I while I do love all the new ones that’s come out I just feel like I’ve got enough already and don’t need more. Sorry for all the quotations! 😂 I really love your content. It’s nice to find a channel that talks about fashion topics and not just constant reveals 💜

[@AliasEveWatches]

At the end of the day, trends come and go! The most important thing is to wear what makes you happy and what makes you feel good. There are some good points with the Quiet Luxury trend especially it discourages people to be show off/try hard but there's also this danger of enabling people to be judgmental when people wear showy items.

[@Lee73Lee]

I agree that there will always be trends, and we have to follow our own style and what works for us. I tend to wear a lot of neutrals like you and tend to make the statement impact with my accessories whether it’s a pop of color in a bag or my jewelry and shoes. I also dress more conservatively at the office because I have to project a certain image in a leadership role. On weekends, I can express the other side of me. I don’t think we all have to follow Gwen Paltro just because she was trying to project a certain image in court as we tell our clients to do 😊

[@taniasarah5616]

On a kind of side note, I started buying the "standard classic wardrobe items", ie camel coat, black everything, beige everything, white button down shirt, because I saw it so beautifully curated online, but then had an epiphany that I missed colour sooo much. I really love deep jewel tones and I always get complimented when I wear any kind of red or burgundy shade. Finally I started questioning why I was doing something that doesn't bring me joy (luckily before I went too far with it) and realised the power of Instagram images (that are VERY staged). I'm still enjoying my neutral wardrobe basics, but I'm mixing it up now with the colours that I love and missed. Fashion/handbags/anything in life has to work for YOU, not the other way around. Lesson learned!!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Ohhh my gosh!!! I can relate to this but in the reverse. I tend to enjoy neutrals but there was a lot of hype around colors the last few seasons so I experimented with pops of colors and eventually realized NO, and I went back to my usual. I think it’s good to know ourselves! 😉

[@karenphu998]

I think joy should be the center of anything you buy. With that said, loud or silent luxury have time and place. And that determination of such right or appropriate time is again up to an individual decision. For example, however silent luxury is the ‘’current trend’’ as said, I would never wear thousands of dollars in The Row or Loro Piana to go feed the homeless. I think fashion gives options: loud or silent but everyone should exercise compassion. Thanks for positing.

I truly think people should wear what they love and embrace their style, who wants to be the same as the next person! No offense either way!

I think part of quiet luxury is a recognition of the current financial stress for so many people, so people who still wish to buy luxury are not seen to be “eating cake” while many cannot “afford bread”.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

It’s an interesting theory but then you have to wonder why luxury sales skyrocketed during the lockdowns when the rest of economy was at a standstill, businesses were forced to close, and people were losing their jobs in droves. I wish this was a conscious effort to be more sensitive of the current economy but I simply don’t think that’s what’s driving this.

Love this - it's great to start a discussion, I'm sure we've all got an opinion on this. I must admit to never having been into big branding, I'm not always sure if you could call my style quiet, though, as I love pops of red and bright blue. I have a Loewe Puzzle, and I love the slouchy feel of this bag as well as the fact that most people wouldn't know what it is, however I also love the Gucci Horsebit in the navy with the interchangable navy and red strap - for me thats all about the colour combination (with a tiny bit of nostalgia for my favourite but discontinued Eau de Gucci perfume that was packaged just the same). Tbh, the monogram canvas puts me off, but the overall aesthetic means that I can't get that bag out of my mind. As for trends, if it fits into my style, and I know I'll be wearing it for several years, then I'll go for it. Otherwise, I'll pass. And yes, I love how some things look on other people, despite me knowing that it's not something I'll be investing in, and that's okay.

Great points made here! I love a bit of both as well! I wear very plain/neutral clothes but love a bit of luxury paired with it - logos or not lol. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@maneerasaxena2594]

Great video. I also have a very classic, muted, quiet style. And while I am totally for “quiet luxury”, I absolutely adore my LV canvas and Gucci canvas bags. They definitely add a bit of chic factor to my otherwise monochrome outfit. Do I love my leather bags that are a bit quieter - yes. And maybe I even love them more. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love the canvas ones! I recently picked Gucci sunglasses with the GG logo on the side and I LOVE them. And I’m going to rock them ✌️

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yess!! 👏

[@lvettesonai]

Just do You. 💖 Personally, I'm a more quiet luxury person since my 20s (I'm in my 50s now), I suppose. But, I have my moments that I want to rock my Chanel bag, or LV logs or my Birkin (though sometimes I turn it inward as if no one knows what it is). lol I love non-logo Gucci and Furla as well. Very understated - I like your perspective on this topic. Good video!

[@martavillanueva1062]

Love the luxurious look of that Dior bag. Sidenote: My MK shoulder bag that cost @$60-$90 (not even leather) and I get complemented on it each time I wear it. This makes it hard for me to spend hundreds or up on a leather bag. Might just rent bags to have fun experiencing a luxury leather bag.

[@janepolewchak731]

Of course, you should wear what you want. Some people are all about the logos. But I seem to recall a similar trend in the 1990s. The late 1980s were all about flash and status symbols. In 1987 we had the stock market crash and eventually, the pendulum swung to minimalism and what they're now calling quiet luxury. I seem to recall the same thing happening after the market crash of 2007 and the Great Recession. Of course, fashion industry is always at work trying to change our minds. It's all about generating revenue. For past couple seasons, the fashion media was heralding. the return of the oversized bag. However, I did read that consumers were not necessarily jumping on the bandwagon for this trend. In other words, consumers do not always adopt trends promoted by influencers. As in previous decades, some of this reluctance may be tied to the economic climate.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

💯 agree!

[@sunnycali1294]

I feel exactly the same way. I love both loud and quiet luxury goods. Depends on how I feel that day 😊 you do you!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes! Depends on the day! 😊

[@annalassen3468]

I got a reversible Gucci coat which I can use depending on my mood. The one side is made up of Gucci monogram(s) all over and the other side is plain black. So I can flash the “here I come” side which most people can recognise and enjoy glances or I can be completely neutral and disappear in the background. Same with bags, I mostly have subtle bags with few logos but also have Gucci and LV recognisable ones.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Genius Gucci coat! 👏

[@romainstaelen3715]

Love your perspective on the question. I have 9 bags, 5 are very loud and 4 are very low key like if u know u know….like the Fendi Peekaboo, if you know you know 😅 But there are days I want to be playful and wear my LV Kusuma bags. I also have a Celine Triumph bag with a big golden lock but this is not yet as recognized as the Chanel lock… so hard to tell in which category it falls

[@Seemstobereal]

Great video..I love LV monogram and bright colours ..agree with you ..you have to do what you love

[@bingkosaurus]

Really love your ‘thoughts’ videos. I love watching haul/collections videos and looking at those eye candies, BUT your videos really helped me to get back to the ground and be grateful of what I have ❤

[@hellocatwalkcity]

I’m so glad you like these types of videos!

[@AlexisBii]

There’s also the fact that a lot of this quiet vs. loud luxury is so clearly rooted in classism. Luxury goods have now become somewhat available to a class of people who previously never could’ve even dreamt of those items, and now trends are emerging that are a THINLY veiled attempt to create distance from that class! It’s so silly because it’s all rooted in perception. Chasing after a perception of wealth, class, and superiority that for most of these “trend followers”…. Only exists in their head 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@hellocatwalkcity]

💯 all about perception and creating a certain image and some are doing that at the cost of their own identity.

[@tammysummerswoodbeck1353]

Totally agree. Have you watched the videos on this subject by Michele Wang and everyday edit? Curious what you think.

[@AlexisBii]

@@tammysummerswoodbeck1353 Will check them out!

[@gracepatricio7116]

Awesome video! I love eye candy on other people but I prefer plain and simple on me, maybe once in a while depending on my mood I will wear something bold. 😊 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this topic.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

All depends on our mood! 😊

[@dva5610]

Quiet luxury is not a trend. It’s always been there.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

A trend is generally when something has become substantially more popular than usual. It doesn’t necessarily have to be new. Right now, everyone is talking about quiet luxury as IF it’s a new and cool concept. The searches for quiet luxury items has skyrocketed online. So in that sense, it is a trend at the moment. People who were never into dressing quiet luxury are now all of a sudden interested.

[@kham6006]

I watch double vanilla street styles -it’s fun to see how people dress -usually lots of designer mixed with ZARA -I’m low key but do like do like some labels

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Love mixing high-mid-low range!

[@anouk1212]

I like both, Period

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Period. ❤️

[@RPBSpeaks]

I feel like people just like making up stuff - especially making a thing that’s been around a trend. Just like quiet quitting. Quiet luxury has been around forever. Inventing a catchy name doesn’t make it new. Timeless classic design in clothing and accessories has always been around. Capsule wardrobes are all over KZbin. Basic, classic styles can be worn 18 to 80 & they are always in fashion.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

So true! People see a label slapped on something and now it’s a thing! 😂

[@Leumasleumas725]

Louder the better

[@kdgeckoknits274]

What ever a person's style and color choices are, what ever makes one feels comfortable, attractive, alive - own it, baby, and wear it in good health.

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Yes yes and yes! 👍

[@educo6534]

Great video!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MsPw69]

Agreed! Great video! “You do ‘you’!” Whatever makes you feel confident. Nobody else pays your bills, so only your opinion of what you want to wear counts.

[@NA-rq9rz]

I don’t save up and splurge to buy things that look like they are from target! 😜 I wear what I like, even if it’s LOUD .

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Hey now! What’s Target got to do with this? 😂

[@sharetac9296]

Hi, well said. Live your life and buy what you like.

[@sylly654]

The whole thing about fashion is that is an individual expression. One persons flashy might be another person’s subdued. As for me, I tend to be 80 percent classic and 20 percent flashy 😊

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Exactly!! It’s all personal when it comes to style!

[@mariaantwan7479]

I think 1 logo piece is good. I think it looks too much when there are multiple logos, especially if they aren’t the same brand 😬

[@ericachacon8337]

Unrelated question- where did you get the ring on the middle finger of your right hand? It's so cool & unique- I've never seen anything like it before! 😄

[@ebonyspears2960]

Love you channel and this was such a great video. I love your stuff because we are opposite. I have been a logomainia gal since college and getting into luxury fashion but I love your point of view as well. I think it's like you said. You have to dress for yourself and not follow trends. If the a current trend happens to line up with your personal style, then great. I do think some people are taking it too seriously. Fashion is fun and about aiding in self expression. So wear, spend as do as you will, right?

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Aww yes!! Totally agree. We can all have our own style and still appreciate others. I’m with you - some take this stuff way to seriously when it’s meant to be creative and fun. ❤️

[@archeewaters]

i like muted colours in clothes but very decorative accessories.

That’s fun!

i love this take from yours about the quiet luxury thing. this video made me subscribe ♥

Thank you 💕

[@RZpersonal77]

I love bold, bright colors and floral patterns but recently I have been buying a lot of neutrals and a lot of white and black, which is a shock to me since my favorite colors are red, yellow, pink certain shades of green and certain shades of blue. But I’ve been trying to make my wardrobe mix and match together well, that’s why I picked neutrals but I really miss all the bright colors. I need to find more red/colorful clothes since that is the color / what suits me best. 😊❤

Sounds like the pops of colors make you happiest! 😊
