Quiet Luxury Trend

[@RoseyPinzon]

I've never been a logo kind of gal (to each their own) but I'm glad to see quiet luxury becoming more well known. It's just so timeless! Lord I see what you are doing for others....

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

That last line made me laugh loud! Yes we do see what he does for others 🤣🤣 let’s work hard and meet him half way

[@50thanniversary68]

Quiet luxury has been there all along. But it is trending now because Instagram has made loud luxury very mainstream. When Every Tom dock Harry has the logo, people want to look different. It’s the counter culture phenomenon

[@niviahenry6218]

While the content is always top tier, what brings me back to your posts Carolyn, is your voice, your wit, your tone…just 🙌🏾

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

🥹🥹 thank youuu

[@ebonyladawn]

Love my gold and love quiet luxury!!!!! Classic never guys out of style

[@13ikea]

I think logos are fizzling because of the public news of price increases. Many people are afraid to go out in public with logos in fear of being robbed. I love a good understated piece from the resale boutiques.

[@tanishalavernegrant9774]

There is nothing new under the sun. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Grace Kelly, and Audry Hepburn were very much #quietluxury. Everything is about personal taste. Great video..

[@ninawestlake5005]

You've stacked those rings so beautifully. Very edgy. I love it!!

[@rickettesimone]

LOVE your style ❤❤I feel like us NYC girls love an understated, quiet luxury vibe. My coworker recently gave me the greatest compliment. She said: you look rich.

[@marymusic8920]

Alas, Grammer is currently, not part of appearing "rich....."

[@rickettesimone]

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

🥰🥰 i love that because that also means your spirit is rich as well. It’s not only what you wear but it’s also how your spirit shines through.

I too dream of the day I make enough money to buy basics from Brunello Cuccinelli. For now I can rest in the knowledge that my everyday style is now “on trend” lol

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

👀 we gonna do the best we can with what we GOT! For now 👀🥰

[@SoAnesu]

For what it’s worth I don’t think Brunello Cucinelli basics are the best or advisable I would say just their cashmere…

[@TomikaKelly]

Ngl, even when thar day comes I'm still going to get my basics from Target.

[@bluelivinbeauty421]

I think a clean sleek sophisticated look looks very lux. Great video I want that too 😊

[@datgirl99]

The great thing about quiet luxury is how timeless the pieces are. A monochromatic look will always do it for me. The open back and snitched blazers are chefs kiss. Also I too never get rid of my blazers. Last Succession is such great show Logan is my favorite character because he is such a serious yet hilarious person. Love these video Carolyn

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

So true about quiet luxe…. And my favorite thing about Logan is the way he says “f off” when he doesn’t like something 🤣🤣 he’s mean but he doesn’t play about his boundaries

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Let’s make a closet just for our blazer obsession!

[@ebonyladawn]

Love this topic!!!!!! This is my style!!! Capsulate pieces

The comedy of this video lifted my spirits so much! Thank you!

[@sassyc4485]

I loved this video❤❤. I loveeeee quality items over just having a lot of "stuff" & logo's.

[@sharonerenaldo3466]

You are so animated in all of your videos, I love watching your expressions. You make talking about fashion trends fun. Thanks.

[@bradinabraxton8836]

I just love watching the girls buy and wear different brands. You're all amazing. There's not much I myself would purchase. Not if my granddaughter wanted it. Grandma on it. Love your tutorials

[@askirtheflin5580]

I love your talks. I want the money I don't want to just look like it. It seems like so many people on these fashion platforms are just pushing alot of bs

[@fashionandluxury101]

I say buy what you love 😊but what looks good on your body , but what fits your lifestyle, buy what makes you feel comfortable, buy what makes you feel confident! Whether logo or quiet luxury it’s all about how you feel 😊

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Agreed. Just a topic i wanted to cover and is one of my faves. 💚

[@mochamami439]

Loved the video! I’m a BW in my mid 30s and I have been getting into “quiet luxury” the last couple years. I wasn’t even trying to I just love neutral colors, peacoats, trenchcoats etc.. The irony is I’m an artist/painter that also loves color lol, so I do both but different times. I love the quiet lux look in the fall/winter, and in the warmer months I do more color. I never been heavy into logos though, and when I really get the bag 💰 I will be even more quiet lol 😂. Subscribed!

[@lekeatharumph1438]

Hey hun, I love this video and All your points!!!! Thanks for this content!!

[@tonicready2171]

Thank you so much for breaking down this trend for me. I’ve heard so much about it but never had anyone explain it. This was great! I’m not a big logo person but I love color.🤩

[@mochamami439]

I started Succession with my mom a couple years ago, then stopped when a few of my other shows came bk on lol. So I gotta binge watch and catch up!

[@stephaniegreen8501]

You're right, I was just about to get into more color after the pandemic and quiet luxury smacked that down! That's OK I still got years ahead of me to be flashier.

Your jewelry is a whole mood ❤

[@shervondavid6882]

Love your style

[@Bvrld]

Your personality is adorable! For me personally I like wearing monochrome beiges because it helps calm my mind, and inspires me to focus. I have a closet full of colors, and another full of monochromatic basics. People usually could tell my mood by what colors I wear. If I’m colorful, most likely means I’m up to date with all of my projects in life, if I’m in beige I’m most likely stressed of those said projects in my life. As far as logos I personally never been a fan because I feel like it calls for too much attention. I like to leave my hair out, it’s usually big- so my looks are already screaming, so I don’t need logos to get any more attention. 😂 Given that I’ve dealt with a handful of intrusive men (& out on the street of lack of personal space; I mainly dress in monochrome now. Tired of people trying to pet my hair, grab my hand out in public, or even ask to take pictures of me/ with me. I’ve had to tell a man to delete the photo of me I witnessed him take on his phone- how lied, I showed him, and he was embarrassed. Monochromatic wardrobe is more of a safety thing for me.. the more I blend in everyday, the better.😅

[@dummysick_8117]

Dolly Parton said it best. According to Dolly, "it takes a lot of money to look this cheap." Quiet luxury indeed.

[@LuxLightning.]

Beautiful and feminine trench coat. Looks fantastic on you. Which brand?

[@arnellmarie]

I agree with everything you said, I love your personality, & laughed the entire time. TY 😂 #newsub

[@1AKAtude1]

Because I am very curvy and I love that quite lux look. Can you show how I might achieve the look without having to get 100 more jobs?

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

🤣🤣 yes. Not a 100 more jobs. I will provide a newsletter this Sunday that will have a few links to items that support this aesthetic. What are some brands you like to shop from ?

[@shellyr8094]

Whatever style we go with don't go broken over it. No sense in going broke over quiet luxury if it ain't gonna make you or keep you with money otherwise its no different than loud lux. I say do whatever you want. I typically love seeing women pair quiet elegant clothing with lux accessories. It's all about balance

[@brigitterucker3499]

I love the segment of Quiet Lux but what does a petite woman look for in a long coat when trying to purchase a long coat? Love Brunello Cuccinelli ! I loved working in the retail industry for the discounts and the connections.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

👀👀 it’s either we need to shop in “petite” stores or get an amazing tailor to shorten everything for you. And we both know there’s not a lot of petite brands. They also fizzled out with plus size stores and brands about 10 years ago. It’s frustrating but finding a tailor that doesn’t get annoyed with having to take apart pieces to ensure it fits you perfectly, really comes in handy.

Old money beats New Money, any day of the week.....

[@sheilakosoff5806]

Just subscribed! Love your content. I love the quiet lux look but to me it’s just a minimal aesthetic. I live the drama that it exudes. Am I wrong in seeing this. It’s giving old Celine and Jill sander. It also giving Japanese aesthetic with a dash of Art curator. I don’t think of luxury but artsy. What do you think? And do you remember Olivia Pope?

[@lisab.7379]

Just found you ❤❤❤ liked and subscribed. 😃😉

[@lisalee3067]

I have always been quite luxury however it’s hard to find plus size luxury and I’m not a true plus.

[@nitajoesplaytherapy4639]

Quiet lux is great, but no coats for me in the spring or summer. I'll take a linen blazer instead.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

oh yea, spring summer breathable materials only around that time.

[@hillerycrawford1062]

I love these chats. Quiet luxury in plus size is frighteningly hard.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

👀 honestly i know what you mean. I worked at saks Ny when they had entire floor dedicated to plus size. They decided to dissolve it in 2014 and i thought it was one of the worst decisions. Even though we had other brands to style clients in like max mara, Eileen Fischer , or Hugo boss it was still very difficult to work with. Since then i haven’t seen much develop and i have to play around a lot with different brands to help my clients who are plus size. It’s exhausting and sad.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

But i always try to keep my eyes and ears open for new brands that can serve the plus size client. It’s important to me that there’s something for everyone when I share.

[@seekingstarwater371]

Just so you know , the vicuna is so traumatized by capture and shearing that it usually dies .

[@nordette]

I have some times when I like to do a "quiet luxury look" or what I call a mature classic look but I have to say most of the time that kind of look is a little too boring for my taste. Its very rarely surprising, doesnt really give anything new or interesting. It does look great though, effortless and timeless but most of the time its not fun enough for me....

[@Ccgemini]

I am a crack head for a blazer also and YES i do have blazers that I’ve never worn in my closet 🫣🫣🫣I blame it on the Lockdown 😂😂. I even own two blazer style leather jackets 😎😎😎. As I got older I appreciate quality fabric, detailed tailoring and packaging gosh when you order something and it comes in a garment bag👏🏾👏🏾i feel fabulous.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

👀👀 will you pull the Unworn blazers to the front of your closet and wear them immediately? Lets do that together actually 🤣🤣

This is where I'm at at the moment. The less polyester the better.

[@RizztrainingOrder]

My lord about time! I’m tired of cringing when my fellow brothas dress like they think wealthy folks do. Gucci shirts, loafers, and other ridiculous stuff.

[@50thanniversary68]

Do understated luxury if it speaks to you but don’t do it because it’s the “trend”. Because there something ironic about trying to look understated only because you’re trying to signal “old money”. There is no shame on not coming from “old money”. I fact new money means you did it on your own!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Agreed with you. What’s ironic about this trending now is that it’s also a response from the pandemic. Designers are seeing “Times are hard, let’s not be too flashy. Let’s go back to minimalism and pcs that can be worn several ways and last long. “ so yes i feel it’s never been out of style because I’ve always gravitated towards minimalist fashion and styling them in quirky ways.

[@tbam73]

Aaah, the quiet luxury of a $200 tshirt.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Must be nice right ? Lol. #justatopic

[@neige4221]

To me “quite luxury” seems to be giving off the message that the owners don’t care about following trends, but in reality they care more than the people who are displaying visible logo’s. This small group are the uber wealthy, who are just trying to keeping up with the people in their group of society. It’s some sort of signal to say, yes we have $$$$ as well. 😉 It’s kind of funny honestly. The only true winner is the company who is selling, say a baseball cap for over a $1,000!

[@paulhenriques28]

Alot of people with money don't spend money on clothes.

[@jlind3891]

It doesn’t fit everyone’s personality and looks for sure. Some people need maximalism to look good and authentic. I don’t understand why people focus so much on trends instead of looking authentic. One will never look iconic not dressing authentically.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Thank you for your opinion Peony. It’s just a trend / topic i wanted to cover . To each their own. It’s one of my many faves and just like my faith I’m not pushing it on anyone. I’m sharing how i feel about it and how go about achieving the look.

To me “quiet luxury” should mean taking off your hair bonnet and pj’s before going outside.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

😂😂😂

[@939nchs]

Money is not the quintessential necessity to indicate good or exquisite taste! If you can identify fabric by feel , know your color wheel and most certainly know your body and “how” to dress it……you’re on the right track. Stop promoting the homosexual moguls of fashion by buying into their renditions of luxury and fashion. Look deep inside yourselves and know YOU first and foremost, then go from there.

[@sinceresinclair]

It's not a trend. This has been part of affluent life for ages.if you know you know.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Hi Sincere. Thank you for your share. If you know then you know this is just a trending fashion topic. Sure this style has been apart of the affluent/ elite world for many years and for some reason I cannot wrap my head around the fact that a few ppl have come at me a bit sideways to share their disdain with me covering this topic. Or anyone covering this topic, because it’s a buzz going on about it but i wonder if you’re telling them the same thing as if wrong to discuss it at all. The folks who “created “ this aesthetic are a group who actually don’t want people who look like me to be apart of it or to emulate it…. So yes I know, but I own it now. I’ve rolled it into my personal style with some other styles. I like this for me and I love seeing people who look like me adopting this style as their own. However that looks like. No one says anything if I cover the topic of maxi skirts which has been around for many years, that’s not new but it’s highlighted as a trend right now. Just like the other trends such as “sheer” or “Barbie core” but when it’s an “affluent” style it’s annoying to some part of the audience instead of considering this perspective : this was meant for old white money. This trend was meant to keep me out as a black woman. Well guess what cookies! my ancestors pulled that fine cotton to create those garments those elitist wore and this is my time to adopt something that was meant to keep me out and I’m going to look better than those people who thought I’m not human enough to wear the same things as them ever did in “their own” style. There are tons of perspectives on this. Fashion is cyclical af! Right ? So this is not “new” but it’s an aesthetic I wanted to discuss on my channel and it’s come back around to be a highlighted style. IT IS JUST A FASHION TOPIC. This is meant to be a fun channel, and I take my time and work hard create and be consistent with what I share. So yes I know, been knew, and I hope we all know now.
