Best places to shop Quiet Luxury
So, where are the best places to nab some sophisticated and expensive-looking attire?
1. Abercrombie & Fitch
- Price Range: under $10 to $400
- Size Range: XXS to XL
- Why it's good for QL: Abercrombie & Fitch has been having quite the renaissance lately for its luxe-looking basics and good quality denim—the brand's Curve Love jeans are especially popular over on TikTok for their flattering fit and classic, straight-leg shape.
2. COS
- Price Range: $10 to $600
- Size Range: 2 to 14/ XS to L
- Why it's good for QL: COS is a great place to find good-quality, elevated basics and tailored pieces, like blazers, wool jackets and leather accessories. It is on the pricier side but is a brand that really focuses on timeless shapes and styles. We're especially excited to shop knits and coats from COS this fall season.
3. H&M
- Price Range: Under $5 to $450
- Size Range: 0 to 20
- Why it's good for QL: H&M is one of the most affordable places to again, shop basics—like knit jumpers, t-shirts and trousers—all in one place and for a very reasonable price. Right now their cashmere jumpers are especially popular on TikTok
4. Mango
- Price Range: $5 to $600
- Size Range: XXS to 4XL
- Why it's good for QL: Mango is also a great stop for basics and nicely tailored pieces, but you can also find some really good, statement tops, skirts and dresses as well as stylish accessories—very Scandi vibes. Their sunglasses are a top tier by the way!
5. ZARA
- Price Range: under $10 to $200
- Size Range: XS to XXL
- Why it's good for QL: ZARA offers a range of affordable basics, like tank tops and jeans as well as trendy/statement pieces to mix and match with your wardrobe staples. You can find everything from t-shirts to leather loafers, all in one convenient place and they don't cost the earth. You can even find a range of very Quiet Luxury perfumes at ZARA!
What to look for when shopping for 'Quiet Luxury'
When it comes to styles that ooze chic, basics are a good place to start, such as a well-fitting, thick white t-shirt, a flattering pair of tailored trousers and a boxy, wool or cashmere jumper.
Tailoring is also very important when looking for a piece that looks deceptively expensive. Jeans and trousers that fit your waist and leg length are key—right now, wide and clean, straight-leg jeans and trousers are preferable, as opposed to cropped and baggy. Boxy shapes in tops and knits are also very chic, as they create structure and dimension into your fit.
Color-wise, neutrals (like cream, ecru, beige, tan, etc.) are always a safe bet in the QL department, as are black and all-white outfits. However, a tactical pop of color can also look very sophisticated.
