When I first heard the term ‘Quiet Luxury,’ I thought it was only for the wealthy—designer bags and expensive clothes without logos. But my experience turned out to be something else. For me, it’s become a wardrobe philosophy . It’s not about having the most expensive items; it’s about how you wear them and what you choose .
This is my personal journey of how I created a ‘soft luxury’ look for my wardrobe.
Step 1: The Color Reset
My wardrobe used to be a rainbow—all kinds of bright prints and loud colors. When I started trying Quiet Luxury, the first change I made was the colors.
- My mantra: Make neutrals your best friend.
- I filled my wardrobe with classy colors like Cream, Beige, Navy Blue, Grey, and Black .
- The advantage is that my clothes match seamlessly . Pairing a white shirt with beige trousers or a gray blazer is so easy now, and the look always feels expensive .
Step 2: Texture Over Trends
This was the biggest ‘game changer’. Initially, I used to buy cheap, synthetic items because they were ‘trendy.’ Now I focus on one thing: the quality and feel of the fabric .
- My secret: I now spend more on linen, cotton, silk blends, and cashmere-feel fabrics.
- The quality of the fabric, without any big logos, creates a luxury feel in itself. When I wear a crisp cotton shirt or a soft wool sweater, I feel polished and confident .
- Personal Touch: When you’re in a rush in the morning, a well-made garment instantly gives you a high-end look.
Step 3: Fitting and Care of the Clothes (The Polished Finish)
I realized that instead of spending lakhs, it’s more important to focus on the fit . Even a simple pair of trousers, if fitted correctly by a tailor, can look like a designer piece.
- My investment: I made my local tailor my best friend! It’s important to get every trouser, every blazer, fitted to your body shape.
- Emphasis on Ironing: My mom always said, “Clothes shouldn’t be wrinkled.” Even today, a well-ironed garment is the true code for ‘Quiet Luxury.’
- Small details: How are your buttons? Is the thread fraying? Finishing comes from paying attention to these little details.
Step 4: Accessories—’Less is More’
In ‘Quiet Luxury,’ accessories shouldn’t be loud. They should complement your look , not dominate it .
- My rule: only one or two good accessories at a time.
- I ditched chunky jewellery and opted for thin gold/silver chains, stud earrings, and a nice watch .
- I also brought a ‘soft upgrade’ to my makeup. I kept my highlighter subtle , and switched from bright lipsticks to nude or soft rose shades.
My Final Takeaway
‘Quiet Luxury’ isn’t just a fashion trend for me; it’s a smart investment . I’ve started buying fewer clothes, but the ones I do buy are high quality and will last for years.This look keeps you from becoming a slave to trends . It gives you the freedom to embrace classic, timeless, and most importantly—your own personal style .
