@@Kalo2511I didn’t know that thank you! NYC had a Mayor named Ed koch (pronounced the way I did in the video) and I’m so used to seeing that name and pronouncing it that way . I forgot to switch the pronunciation for the video. Thank you for this insight❤️
@@Kalo2511 lol! Some people are just miserable and want to be snarky I guess.🤷🏽♀️ Clearly I did research for the video.😂😂 Anyway,Thanks again for the insight❤❤ I appreciate you! 💕
I am a lower-middle income woman who just barely makes ends meet and my score was a 4 lol. I thrift most of my clothes and I find a lot of “quiet luxury” pieces at the Goodwill! I think it’s more of a state of mind rather than a social class.
When I was a teenager my mother would always tell me that I had champagne taste with beer pockets 😂 I have found beautiful things at the thrift store! My trick was to go to the thift stores in the wealthy neighborhoods.🤓 Luxury, quiet or loud ,can come in many forms. I completly agree that it can be a state of mind rather then a class!
First I want to say, your creativity, editing style and candor thought this video was sensational! I wasn’t expecting to do math tho 😅. In all seriousness, I got a 6 and its so accurate. Like Tom said, I like to blend and add my own style to all my outfits. I can’t overly commit to one side because that wouldn’t be authentic to me and my African (vibrant af) Sierra Leone roots.🇸🇱
Thank you for your kind words😊! I appreciate it! ❤ I hate math so my bad lol!😂😂 Yes, when you come from a rich culture full of color, the total absence of color is depressing! I love a neutral slay, but I cannot imagine not wearing any color at all! It just doesnt sit right with my Caribbean sprit lol. Personal style is so much of who we are.❤
Gone are the days of people telling me how to be and what to wear. Quiet luxury my "foot"! Loud, proud, and quiet when I wanna be! Awesome teaching video. I am the boss of me, my fashion, my style. In addition, I am here for the up and coming black designers that are loud, inclusive and opposed the the small "q" quiet luxury snobbery. Said what I said......Mrs. C. Lee.....all day every day
Hi! I rolled my eyes when I saw the thumbnail bc I am so sick of this discussion, but I’m halfway through and THANK YOU for such a balanced and NUANCED discussion!! You really did cover the bases!
😂😂 I appreciate that you took the time to watch even though you are over the discussion! Honestly, I am too!! 😂 I do hope that I was able to bring it to you in a way that others couldn't. YOU KNOW I APPRECAITE YOU! Thank you for your kid words!❤
Thank you so much!!!😩 The whole time I was editing I was like "This is wack.... wait is this lame?" second guessing myself as usual smh. 🤣 I apprecaite your kind words! Thank you!
I scored a 6 in this video, however 100% resonate as a fashion girl in one of your prior videos. I love classics and clean lines, but I will absolutely make the look my own. I shop at Goodwill and high end and prefer quality and craftsmanship that reads timeless.
Im with you on the "reads timeless" I shop high and low, but im definitely adding more quailty and timeless things to my closet this year. Wether it comes from the thift store or Saks.🤷🏾♀
Sister Kim is going to wear what she loves and feels good in. Im not sure why this is such a highly discussed topic but as a Haitian American woman I can go from loud and proud to minimalist vibes and neither one should limit me to a class or style category. One thing for sure, I will be quiet luxuriating up with my Walmart and Target pieces 😂
I can't for the life of me figure out why this is so highly discussed either! Like what are talking about here? Minimalism? Capitalism? Escapism? What other"ism" do we need to talk about to tell people to DRESS IN WHAT MAKES THEM HAPPY! 🤷🏾♀ That white suit you had on was so darn chic, minimal, and cute I was sick! Equally ,that chartreuse skirt you styled was beautiful! This whole topic is....diffrent... lol!
It is cultural (as I stated in the video) I didn’t say it was racial.🤷🏽♀️ I mentioned race as a descriptor for myself and as a way to define the American term WASP. Is the conversation tiring? Absolutely! However, it is important for me to validate those of us who don’t come from your culture. With the term “quiet luxury” being viewed as better in recent months, I want everyone to be secure in their fashion choices. Thank you for taking the time to watch.
I enjoyed this video. I came from a family that were raised to like and wear quiet luxury or shall I quote my grandmother “the finest of threads”. I’m all for the quiet luxury due to being plus, I don’t want the inexpensive fabrics to let me down (tear/rip) However, I’m going to always put my spin on it bcz I love a good statement piece or a pop of Color. Guess what? I scored 11 😂😂
"The finest of threads" 😂 I love it! Its so important for us to put a little of our personality in every outfit! An 11!? 😂 You are a true fashion girl!! 😂
I am older than you, and white. I certainly don't have old money. Even white people are rather disgusted with this "old money" concept of class. I just wanted to tell you that I think you are a beautiful, elegant woman.
Best video about QL I’ve seen so far! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 For me this movement is helpful to set up a capsule luggage winter trip I have ahead. Brazilian hugs on you way.
The truly wealthy do not need to flaunt their wealth. I thought this was the concept of quiet luxury. A trend towards wearing clothes that don’t scream luxury or highlight expensive labels. Basically, if you want to look rich, then don’t LOOK rich. Be “quiet” . That’s the trend. The reason it’s been associated with old money is because that tends to be the fashion aesthetic of that group of people. Do I think that some luxury brands are raising their prices or making it increasingly difficult for the “average” person to access their products? Yes. Unfortunately, social media is promoting the idea that we all “deserve” luxury and can stretch our pockets to get it. Some luxury brands have caught on. Obviously it’s not luxury if everyone can “afford” it, so they raise their prices, or require you to join some club, or get on a waitlist. Trust me, the people these items are intended for are doing NONE of that. Let the 1% have it. I’m even disgusted at the way these luxury brands partner with H&M and have consumers waiting in line or staying up all night to purchase items that are available in such limited quantities that very few people can actually get them. It makes consumers look foolish and desperate to look rich. Begging to be a part of some club they don’t want us to join. A publicity stunt basically. Why would I stand in line for hours to give you my money? Am I not the consumer? Doesn’t your business run off of my dollars? As consumers we gotta stop paying for some of this grossly overpriced stuff.
Is it that the rich don’t flaunt their wealth, or is it that they don’t care about fashion and just shop with in their tax bracket? I don’t know. I was looking for the “rich don’t flaunt their wealth” in my research and that was barely mentioned. Idk why. Apparently, the fashion publications are saying that it simply means high quality minimal clothing.🤷🏽♀️ Ive also noticed that even the cheaper stores are playing with this quiet luxury discussion. Revolve has a quiet luxury section! 🤦🏾♀️ I wish that we wouldn’t idolize people who don’t care about us. Its so strange.😳 The 1% are not having discussions about us. Who cares what they do lol!
The rich absolutely flaunt their wealth with their multiple large homes, luxury cars and jet setting lifestyle. Nothing quiet about it. We, the 99% do deserve luxury and fashion and we deserve to enjoy it and express ourselves however we please.
I loved this video. It was well thought out, considered various perspectives, gave a term paper history lesson, sprinkled with relevant quotes about style, race, middle class, upper class, thoughts. You then opened and closed with creative and provocative participation questions . I'm middle classes, African American. I love color but when I do neutral my spin is a pop of color on a leather tote bag into the office or on weekends, here in California. This was the best quiet luxury video that I've seen so far. ❤ thank you. It felt like a professionally produced tv segment on a major network.
Thank you for your kind words!❤ I hope that it was enjoayable to watch as the videos ive seen on the topic werent so interactive. I was afraid that I was making mistake with approaching the topic in this way. The pop of color with accessories is a go to of mine as well! Youre too kind!😩 I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave such a wonderful comment!❤
I scored a 4, because I am low key and I have always been this way. My wardrobe consist of mostly black, white, ivory and in the summer pale pastels and my pop of luxury would be a Valentino belt. I have been purchasing luxury goods for years. I have always like to purchase items that I don't see on everyone else. It's my personal preference and not a trend. Quiet luxury is nothing new. These new money Beverly Hillbillie's are trying to make Quiet luxury a trend to make them feel superior, most of these people promoting this would be snubbed by the wealthy.
First on come on with the game and edits bravo as usual . The only quiet luxury video I’m not annoyed by BUT thoroughly enjoyed. I scored a 4 in the game. Quiet luxury was from the beginning of fashion. If anyone read how luxury lost it’s luster by Dana Thomas then they would know how fashion houses started. Chanel for example didn’t get the double cc logo until the 1980s. I don’t think only neutrals is quiet I believe color can be incorporated in a sophisticated way think pastels jewel tones burgundy etc. I agree old money and quiet luxury are not the same thing. Now that I’m older I’m a lot more quiet and I wish I was quiet from the start because I would still have my items and would have saved so much money. Lastly tik tok is toxic and started this foolishness lol
You're too kind!😩Thank you for your kind words.I have to get my hands on that book.I had no idea about Chanel! I also beleive that color can be incorporated in a chic,sophisticted way. A beautiful jewel tone silk top can be stunning paired with some beautiful jewelry.☺ I do think that some things come with age.The older you get, the less likely you are to try to impress someone. My style has changed through the years.The money that I have spent on things that I would never wear now is comical.😩Tik Tok sent me down a rabbit hole with this topic and I will never get over it lol!☺❤
Great video. I wonder why it seems people think that only “good quality clothing” has to be in neutral colors. It seems to me that when one is feeling down many will put on a bright color or take a walk in the bright yellow sun. The Olsen twins are often mentioned in this topic, however to be honest don’t look very happy. Lisaraye wears all white but the style and cut of the pieces expresses her personality. Last point, why does quiet luxury have to be kind of bland and reserve? Why is it that those that don’t like to dress that way are tacky? I don’t recall anyone calling Sara Jessica Parker any of these titles while filing SATC or even now. Heck many are falling over themes trying to get her shoes and the bags….ie the purple rain sequin baguette. 😊
I’m a 6 and love it. Classic,minimalist and glamorous. My personality and culture plays a role in my fashion. This video is awesome in talking about quiet luxury.
I am a dark skinned women and when I wear white, I feel like an angel from heaven…lol Personally I could care less about what others are wearing, sometimes people are just lost. I am in my mid fourties’ and I like uncomplicated, comfortable, feminine, well made clothes. No I am not doing too much, just let my beauty shine through. I wear makeup as well but I have cut back. I just don’t like doing too much but I don’t think about quite luxury… kinda of silly. I love your break down of this term but no I just do me which happens to more of that style in clothing. If I feel like adding color, it’s usually a pastel like pink. We should just dress in what we like and call it a day. I agree, I don’t want anything to do with “old money” and everything to with classy, respectful, a loving mother, and minding my own business.
White on dark skin is elite!!! 😩 The contrast is beautiful! I have cut back on my makeup as well.I feel like I look better with less. I dont know if that comes with age or what?🤷🏾♀ I cant bother to care about what other people think im wearing. Today it is queit luxury tommrow it will be somethng else. Yes to the classy, respectful and heavy on the MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS 😂
At 43 in counting 😂 If it ain’t luxury ? I don’t want it ! I’ve worked too Hard and I Deserve like Momma Dee🤷🏿♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I say mix it up but I got to have my luxury but to me Quiet Luxury is more Boss to me ! I don’t like trends I don’t do Dupes though . BondNo9 New York is a quiet luxury niche line ❤️❤️❤️❤️😂
I buy what makes me happy. I dress for my own style, and I integrate my wardrobe with color, and classic pieces. I have low, and high end in my wardrobe. This was an excellent video!!!
Ah yes, I truly enjoyed your video….the research, the application of said research, the quiz and your overall expression & explanation of this ‘Quiet Luxury’ topic. I honestly have been wondering why is everyone so bothered by ‘quiet luxury’ when the rich folk ain’t even concerned about what we doing. 🤷🏽♀️ So let them do them and let us do us. The elite have never been fashion inspiration to me so I’m quite literally unbothered by their fashion choices. Sidenote: Your ‘teacher skills’ were definitely on display in this video and it is obvious that you were an excellent teacher.👏🏾
Hey sis! Girl keep us fashionably educated. What the what! I just love the subjectivity of fashion. Anywho, I tried to send you the name of the shoe I mentioned a few vlogs back but for whatever reason, it doesn’t post. The name is Open Edit, Kaia denim shoe at Nordstrom. On major sale now.
Great video. By the way, that is the Kennedy family not the Vanderbilt family. It looks to be a picture from the wedding of John F. Kennedy and Jackie Bouvier Kennedy.
Timeless classics has always been my preference sprinkled with some color eras. Like Tom said, I’m all about finding your own personal style and being comfortable in your own skin. Know who you are and own it. Loved your video!
Thank you for just talking about style and not necessarily making it about the color of skin. I’m white 54 y/o. Grew up very poor and worked my a** of as a firefighter to have a great middle class life. I love culture. All culture! I love color, all color all styles. Your right, the upper class could care less about us and I could care less about them. Unless their house is on fire 🔥 of course. I watch a lot of these videos on this subject and your the first video not to shame me for being white. And food for thought. Tix toc is ran by China and our country is unnecessarily having a race war. Doesn’t it make you 💭 wonder why is this trending? 🙏 ❤️ 🇺🇸!!
The wealthy people that I have come in contact with through the years have been pleasant. Their children were adorable, and for the most part they treated me with kindness as thier childrens teacher. However, it was very clear to me that they had no idea what it felt like to be middle-class.The comments they made, the things they would laugh at, and the way they would deal with things made me question why we are so obsessed with them. You are a brave women for being a fire fighter! The very idea terifies me! lol! thank you for taking the time to watch!❤
Yes! Thank you for this video! 🫶🏾 And I agree wholeheartedly with you! I love to mix neutrals with bold colors.😁🙌🏾 And I had 6 points, so somewhere in the middle (I hope😅).
I’m a HUGE JANET FAN! So for somebody to say that my voice reminds me of hers is THE BEST COMPLIMENT OF ALL TIME!😂 Thank you. You made my day! Thank you for taking the time to watch.😊❤️
Thank you for this video! I was getting so tired of all the videos on quiet and loud luxury! I’m going to wear what makes me comfortable and confident 😊 I am 70% quiet and 30% loud based on all the reasons you stated above. I love color, I’m from the Caribbean, I love fashion and like to put my own “ spin” on fashion etc . I’m not changing who I am , or my style period! 😊
Are we sisters? lol! I would describe myself in the same way. No color at all isn't something I can do.🤷🏾♀I am who I am, and I wont try to change that.❤
Normally I just watch and like your videos without commenting, but I just had to say that everything about this video was SUPERB. The engaging game in the beginning, the editing, & commentary were top tier. My number is 10 and to me, personal style should be just that... personal! Amazing video Kura! 🤗
I loved the quiz!!! I'm in the middle (7) and wasn't surprised. Can I say, as a Brooklyn born and bred woman... I clapped and cosigned when you spoke of the big hoops...and that your melanin shall not be wasted! 🎉 Come on pinks, come on orange!!!! I'm really enjoying your videos! 💕🧡🎉
SHALL NOT BE WASTED! The very idea of letting this melanin go to waste makes me want to swim in the East river!😂 I cant do it! 🤷🏾♀ What is life if I cant wear a hoop?🙄 like............🤷🏾♀😂
Is that what you got from this video? Because that certainly wasn't my intention. The history that is associated with "old money" is said to be elitist. However, dressing in a discreet manner is a personal style. I dont think that that style of dressing would garner attention for being elitist. Instead you are seen as a minimalist. Its the "old money" term that is the problem not your personal style. ☺
This was a very thoughtful video. When I first saw this topic I definitely saw it for what it was. Just as minimalism was imho a way to dim the light of those fabulous influencers who were bold, and colorful women of color. I like color, I like neutrals. I'm upper middle class. Quiet luxury? Nah, black excellence. Lol.
Thank you for taking the time to watch.❤ Somedays I want wear all neutrals other days I need some color.🤷🏾♀ This whole idea of quiet luxury being superior is exhasting lol! The style is beautiful its just not for everyone.🤷🏾♀ BLACK EXCELLENCE! yassssss ! Love it!!!! ❤
😂😂 Its a thre point lighting set up. A ring light in front of me and two soft boxes behind me. I got them cheap from Amazon a long timea ago.I will put it in a vlog so you can see.❤️
Love your voice ❤I’m glad that I found your channel. Great video and I enjoyed your perspective on quiet luxury. I will continue to wear bright colors that make me happy.
Old money and quiet luxury are very different in terms of style. I always been abit quiet/classic style. I add pops of colour green and yellow- muted versions. In Nigeria, Im wearing colour but in classic shapes unless I’m wear cultural clothing.
Shukura, this is the best commentary on this topic imho. Many UA-camrs have tackled it but not so concisely and clear. I have ascribed to the aesthetic of QL in different eras of my style for practical reasons. As a mother, minimizing the color palette and pieces makes it very easy to get out of the apt in the morning. Regardless of how much I spent or the varying qualities of the pieces, when they are in the same color family it just looks pulled together. I don’t have to put as much effort into looking chic. I typically do this in the winter bc the layers make it look effortless. Whites, creams with browns and tans are great in NYC winters. Now in the summer, it’s all about the color, the prints. I’m accentuating the melanin and standing out. Of course, I love a white dress but it’s easier to dress in the summer to me. I think it’s funny that the people criticizing and pushing the QL agenda are middle class or dare I say it lower middle class people who aspire to be like the 1%. Isn’t it always the person that’s reachin’ that’s hatin’?! Like you said, rich folk ain’t stuttin’ us! Well you didn’t say it like that but that’s how I say it.😂 You did a wonderful job! I enjoy you so much.
Hello, Simply Kura. I thoroughly enjoyed your research and point of view about "quiet luxury." We know that fashion is always looking for new ways to inspire us to buy, wear and feel the next thing. You are the arbiter of your own style and life! Be original.
@@simplykura I am just now finding out that the clothes I had in my closet for years is called “old money “. Like you I am from the Caribbean so I do tend to add some colour into my wardrobe. I always thought I was just simple.
My question is, "who is the arbitor of this and why do they get to pick?". Excuse me banned from pick up? WTF is that BS. This sounds to me more like an aesthetic. I mean for me it's an aesthetic. It's how I've almost always dressed and its just more comfortable for me. I prefer minimal logos as a rule as it is. I prefer good fabrics for the better wear and fit. I prefer natural fibers so I don't sweat. I don't shop all the time and don't want to so I buy good to keep it longer. The whole 'old money' tag is not appropriate as the look has nothing to do with old money. The Koch's are trash and I hope they go under sooner rather that later. As to Fashion, the whole point is to wear what you love. Do it! Enjoy. They are your clothes you wear em as you like! These things are not mutually exclusive. There is enough for everyone and we should realise that soonish and help each other reach that goal.
the truth is that you can never properly surmise how much money someone has by looking at them. a lot of people live well above their means, credit cards exist, fraud exists, and a lot of people do live below their means on purpose. i live in NYC and the old money women on the upper east side definitely dress on trend and don't only wear classics. they wear tons of patterns, prints, and couture. they'll buy a $5,000 ready-to-wear coat to wear once to an event and then throw it to the back of their closet like it's nothing. quiet luxury is a myth
I scored a 7. I agree that I'm going to do luxury as I always do...like myself! I'm very much a Black woman (80s baby) with southern roots from DC so I love the occasional logo, gold jewelry & sneakers/boots are always "yes"! I dress for the occasion and my mood. As for color, the good Lord would not have given this melanin that looks AMZING in shades of orange, blue, yellow, hell all of the colors if I wasn't supposed to highlight one of my best features!
I love your take on quiet luxury! You really broke down this “new” trend. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. You clearly do your research! 😊 I try not to follow trends just because it’s what’s popular. I prefer spending my money on things that will last and that I’ll want to wear for more than a moment.
I am so sick and tired of everybody. Word of the day now is quiet luxury how society has become if you don’t think like I think dress like a dress, then you are not worthy like you said dress what makes you happy because how I dress does not affect any process of your life.
This needed to be said. I never thought about it that way, most wealthy are not thinking about us, the way we obsess over them💡Unless it's to their benefit like our labour, resources, creativity ect... I like the Tom Ford commentary. Head to toe in quiet luxury beige and head to toe in logo mania, both feel prescribed. Both convey the same message of not knowing yourself, or not being able to express your true self through fashion, which is fine as well. They are many creative outlets to chose from other than fashion. Probably when you're able to express yourself in whatever your thing is your personal style may organically come to the surface, or at the very least this conversation becomes mute to you. So do you boo.
Yes, they are only think about us for what we can do for them! 🤷🏾♀ The time and energy we put into being like the wealthy is odd. "Head to toe in quiet luxury beige and head to toe in logo mania, both feel prescribed" Wow! I have not made that connection untill now! ! agree! You have a point about there being other creative outlets then fashion. That is most certaintly something to consider.🤔 I love you for this comment thank you! This has my wheels turning! ❤☺
My score was a 7 in the game and that is the perfect number for me and my style. Similar to you I will and have taken bits and pieces from the concept of “quiet Luxury “ and incorporate it into my style. To be honest I always have way before it was branded as quiet luxury lol. I’m all about a sophisticated, polished, and pops of rich color aesthetic.
I like classic timeless pieces that are easy to match and are in even in 10 years. And I dont like people looking at me so I dont like patterns and colors
Glad to hear someone talk about this topic who has researched the understanding of the topic. While I love classic things, color is definitely going to be a part of it.
A life absent of color is not the life for me. I love classic things. In fact, I gravitate toward them.🤷🏾♀ However, color is part of me and I will always have it in my wardrobe.
Sorry, but that definition of old money is wrong. And it is in fact new money, that is connected to racism. Because old money only includes fortunes that were made before the age of colonialism. Old money means never having had a reason to seek opportunities in the new world, because hey: "Why would we? We've got wealth at home to be taken care of.".
I do think the American old money is a funny thing. I enjoy dressing minimalism in bold colors, a navy jumpsuit with a metallic bag and shoes, sounds amazing to me. I have found that old money in other countries looks different. ie Dubai, India, Africa etc. I prefer personal style over fashion, do what pleases you.
I forgot to mention Dubai! They are so lux over there and im here for it! Their wealth looks much diffrent then here in America! I would say that i do the same as far as dressing minimal in bold colors etc. I dont wear to many patterns.i love a metallic accessory! Thank you for taking the time to watch!❤
THank you for taking the time to watch freind! ❤ A six is what I got as well! we are somwhere in the middle.Who carws what the rich think.🤷🏾♀ I dont lol! Have a wonderful week!

It's a German name for "Cook" and is pronounced "KO-gh"...Americans have a weird way of saying most foreign names.

Quiet fashion is a cultural thing, not racial. I am from Northern Europe and always wore classical quiet colors. This conversation is just too stupid.
It is cultural (as I stated in the video) I didn’t say it was racial.🤷🏽♀️ I mentioned race as a descriptor for myself and as a way to define the American term WASP. Is the conversation tiring?

I am older than you, and white. I certainly don't have old money. Even white people are rather disgusted with this "old money" concept of class. I just wanted to tell you that I think you are a beautiful, elegant woman.
You’re too kind Debra!😩 Thank you so much for your kind words❤️💕
Best video about QL I’ve seen so far! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 For me this movement is helpful to set up a capsule luggage winter trip I have ahead. Brazilian hugs on you way.
The truly wealthy do not need to flaunt their wealth. I thought this was the concept of quiet luxury. A trend towards wearing clothes that don’t scream luxury or highlight expensive labels. Basically, if you want to look rich, then don’t LOOK rich. Be “quiet” . That’s the trend. The reason it’s been associated with old money is because that tends to be the fashion aesthetic of that group of people. Do I think that some luxury brands are raising their prices or making it increasingly difficult for the “average”
person to access their products? Yes. Unfortunately, social media is promoting the idea that we all “deserve” luxury and can stretch our pockets to get it. Some luxury brands have caught on. Obviously it’s not luxury if everyone can “afford” it, so they raise their prices, or require you to join some club, or get on a waitlist. Trust me, the people these items are intended for are doing NONE of that. Let the 1% have it. I’m even disgusted at the way these luxury brands partner with H&M and have consumers waiting in line or staying up all night to purchase items that are available in such limited quantities that very few people can actually get them. It makes consumers look foolish and desperate to look rich. Begging to be a part of some club they don’t want us to join. A publicity stunt basically. Why would I stand in line for hours to give you my money? Am I not the consumer? Doesn’t your business run off of my dollars? As consumers we gotta stop paying for some of this grossly overpriced stuff.
Is it that the rich don’t flaunt their wealth, or is it that they don’t care about fashion and just shop with in their tax bracket? I don’t know. I was looking for the “rich don’t flaunt their wealth” in my research and that was barely mentioned. Idk why. Apparently, the fashion publications are saying that it simply means high quality minimal clothing.🤷🏽♀️ Ive also noticed that even the cheaper stores are playing with this quiet luxury discussion. Revolve has a quiet luxury section! 🤦🏾♀️ I wish that we wouldn’t idolize people who don’t care about us. Its so strange.😳 The 1% are not having discussions about us. Who cares what they do lol!
The rich absolutely flaunt their wealth with their multiple large homes, luxury cars and jet setting lifestyle. Nothing quiet about it. We, the 99% do deserve luxury and fashion and we deserve to enjoy it and express ourselves however we please.
I loved this video. It was well thought out, considered various perspectives, gave a term paper history lesson, sprinkled with relevant quotes about style, race, middle class, upper class, thoughts. You then opened and closed with creative and provocative participation questions . I'm middle classes, African American. I love color but when I do neutral my spin is a pop of color on a leather tote bag into the office or on weekends, here in California. This was the best quiet luxury video that I've seen so far. ❤ thank you. It felt like a professionally produced tv segment on a major network.
Thank you for your kind words!❤ I hope that it was enjoayable to watch as the videos ive seen on the topic werent so interactive. I was afraid that I was making mistake with approaching the topic in this way. The pop of color with accessories is a go to of mine as well! Youre too kind!😩 I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave such a wonderful comment!❤
I scored a 4, because I am low key and I have always been this way. My wardrobe consist of mostly black, white, ivory and in the summer pale pastels and my pop of luxury would be a Valentino belt. I have been purchasing luxury goods for years. I have always like to purchase items that I don't see on everyone else. It's my personal preference and not a trend. Quiet luxury is nothing new. These new money Beverly Hillbillie's are trying to make Quiet luxury a trend to make them feel superior, most of these people promoting this would be snubbed by the wealthy.
First on come on with the game and edits bravo as usual . The only quiet luxury video I’m not annoyed by BUT thoroughly enjoyed. I scored a 4 in the game. Quiet luxury was from the beginning of fashion. If anyone read how luxury lost it’s luster by Dana Thomas then they would know how fashion houses started. Chanel for example didn’t get the double cc logo until the 1980s. I don’t think only neutrals is quiet I believe color can be incorporated in a sophisticated way think pastels jewel tones burgundy etc. I agree old money and quiet luxury are not the same thing. Now that I’m older I’m a lot more quiet and I wish I was quiet from the start because I would still have my items and would have saved so much money. Lastly tik tok is toxic and started this foolishness lol
You're too kind!😩Thank you for your kind words.I have to get my hands on that book.I had no idea about Chanel! I also beleive that color can be incorporated in a chic,sophisticted way. A beautiful jewel tone silk top can be stunning paired with some beautiful jewelry.☺ I do think that some things come with age.The older you get, the less likely you are to try to impress someone. My style has changed through the years.The money that I have spent on things that I would never wear now is comical.😩Tik Tok sent me down a rabbit hole with this topic and I will never get over it lol!☺❤
I scored a 4-I’m a total minimalist and have been for some time. It’s simple & versatile. It makes getting dressed a breeze. Thanks for the video!
Great video. I wonder why it seems people think that only “good quality clothing” has to be in neutral colors. It seems to me that when one is feeling down many will put on a bright color or take a walk in the bright yellow sun. The Olsen twins are often mentioned in this topic, however to be honest don’t look very happy. Lisaraye wears all white but the style and cut of the pieces expresses her personality. Last point, why does quiet luxury have to be kind of bland and reserve? Why is it that those that don’t like to dress that way are tacky? I don’t recall anyone calling Sara Jessica Parker any of these titles while filing SATC or even now. Heck many are falling over themes trying to get her shoes and the bags….ie the purple rain sequin baguette. 😊
Really love your approach on style and fashion! You’re such an elegant and authentic person!
Thank you for your kind words.😩❤️ I appreciate you taking the time to watch! Thank you!
I’m a 6 and love it. Classic,minimalist and glamorous. My personality and culture plays a role in my fashion. This video is awesome in talking about quiet luxury.
My favorite pairing! I knew you would score pretty low!❤As always, I appreciate you! Thank you for taking the time to watch! Have a wonderful week!
I am a dark skinned women and when I wear white, I feel like an angel from heaven…lol Personally I could care less about what others are wearing, sometimes people are just lost. I am in my mid fourties’ and I like uncomplicated, comfortable, feminine, well made clothes. No I am not doing too much, just let my beauty shine through. I wear makeup as well but I have cut back.
I just don’t like doing too much but I don’t think about quite luxury… kinda of silly. I love your break down of this term but no I just do me which happens to more of that style in clothing. If I feel like adding color, it’s usually a pastel like pink. We should just dress in what we like and call it a day. I agree, I don’t want anything to do with “old money” and everything to with classy, respectful, a loving mother, and minding my own business.
Love this!
White on dark skin is elite!!! 😩 The contrast is beautiful! I have cut back on my makeup as well.I feel like I look better with less. I dont know if that comes with age or what?🤷🏾♀ I cant bother to care about what other people think im wearing. Today it is queit luxury tommrow it will be somethng else. Yes to the classy, respectful and heavy on the MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS 😂
At 43 in counting 😂
If it ain’t luxury ?
I don’t want it !
I’ve worked too Hard and I Deserve like Momma Dee🤷🏿♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I buy what makes me happy. I dress for my own style, and I integrate my wardrobe with color, and classic pieces. I have low, and high end in my wardrobe. This was an excellent video!!!
Dress in what makes you happy! I totally agree! Thank you so much for watching you know, I appreciate it!
Ah yes, I truly enjoyed your video….the research, the application of said research, the quiz and your overall expression & explanation of this ‘Quiet Luxury’ topic. I honestly have been wondering why is everyone so bothered by ‘quiet luxury’ when the rich folk ain’t even concerned about what we doing. 🤷🏽♀️ So let them do them and let us do us. The elite have never been fashion inspiration to me so I’m quite literally unbothered by their fashion choices.
Sidenote: Your ‘teacher skills’ were definitely on display in this video and it is obvious that you were an excellent teacher.👏🏾
Hey sis! Girl keep us fashionably educated. What the what! I just love the subjectivity of fashion. Anywho, I tried to send you the name of the shoe I mentioned a few vlogs back but for whatever reason, it doesn’t post. The name is Open Edit, Kaia denim shoe at Nordstrom. On major sale now.
Thank you!! I I was searching so hard! 😂
Great video. By the way, that is the Kennedy family not the Vanderbilt family. It looks to be a picture from the wedding of John F. Kennedy and Jackie Bouvier Kennedy.
You are right!😂 Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch! ❤️
Timeless classics has always been my preference sprinkled with some color eras. Like Tom said, I’m all about finding your own personal style and being comfortable in your own skin. Know who you are and own it. Loved your video!
Agreed! ❤️ Thank you for taking the time watch🤗 Have a great week!
Thank you for just talking about style and not necessarily making it about the color of skin. I’m white 54 y/o. Grew up very poor and worked my a** of as a firefighter to have a great middle class life. I love culture. All culture! I love color, all color all styles. Your right, the upper class could care less about us and I could care less about them. Unless their house is on fire 🔥 of course. I watch a lot of these videos on this subject and your the first video not to shame me for being white. And food for thought. Tix toc is ran by China and our country is unnecessarily having a race war. Doesn’t it make you 💭 wonder why is this trending? 🙏 ❤️ 🇺🇸!!
The wealthy people that I have come in contact with through the years have been pleasant. Their children were adorable, and for the most part they treated me with kindness as thier childrens teacher. However, it was very clear to me that they had no idea what it felt like to be middle-class.The comments they made, the things they would laugh at, and the way they would deal with things made me question why we are so obsessed with them. You are a brave women for being a fire fighter! The very idea terifies me! lol! thank you for taking the time to watch!❤
You really did your research and brought all the facts for us! Thank you! 💗
I used to write a mean term pepper in graduate school! 😂 I can do some research! 😂 Thank you for taking the time to watch!❤
Yes! Thank you for this video! 🫶🏾 And I agree wholeheartedly with you! I love to mix neutrals with bold colors.😁🙌🏾 And I had 6 points, so somewhere in the middle (I hope😅).
Thank you for taking the time to watch.❤ Im somewhere in the middle too! Calssic peices with beautiful colors❤☺

Wearing the white man's luxury is not a flex.
Thank you for this video! I was getting so tired of all the videos on quiet and loud luxury!
I’m going to wear what makes me comfortable and confident 😊 I am 70% quiet and 30% loud based on all the reasons you stated above. I love color, I’m from the Caribbean, I love fashion and like to put my own “ spin” on fashion etc .
I’m not changing who I am , or my style period! 😊
Are we sisters? lol! I would describe myself in the same way. No color at all isn't something I can do.🤷🏾♀I am who I am, and I wont try to change that.❤

Cogent and well said, thank you ❤
Good days when you could just be minimalist and discreet without being elitist.
Is that what you got from this video? Because that certainly wasn't my intention. The history that is associated with "old money" is said to be elitist. However, dressing in a discreet manner is a personal style. I dont think that that style of dressing would garner attention for being elitist. Instead you are seen as a minimalist. Its the "old money" term that is the problem not your personal style. ☺
I'm a quiet luxury kinda girl
❤ this..ima 10 of course 😂😂 no quiet lux for me..not my style
😂😂 Of course! Not enough denim in quiet luxury for you! 😂
I'm into quite health which should always be trendy.
It should!!
This was a very thoughtful video. When I first saw this topic I definitely saw it for what it was. Just as minimalism was imho a way to dim the light of those fabulous influencers who were bold, and colorful women of color. I like color, I like neutrals. I'm upper middle class. Quiet luxury? Nah, black excellence. Lol.
Thank you for taking the time to watch.❤ Somedays I want wear all neutrals other days I need some color.🤷🏾♀ This whole idea of quiet luxury being superior is exhasting lol! The style is beautiful its just not for everyone.🤷🏾♀ BLACK EXCELLENCE! yassssss ! Love it!!!! ❤
That oraaaaaaaawwwwnge! 🤭
Btw Ama need you to film a filming setup & equipment video please 😩 teach me oh wise one “🙇🏽♀️🤭

Im in the middle too. No apologies we have to dress for us right.🤷🏽♀️?
Indeed!!!
The Best Video on this topic thus far!!!! I love it!!!!
Youre too kind! Thank you for taking the time to watch!❤
Old money and quiet luxury are very different in terms of style.
I always been abit quiet/classic style. I add pops of colour green and yellow- muted versions. In Nigeria, Im wearing colour but in classic shapes unless I’m wear cultural clothing.
Shukura, this is the best commentary on this topic imho. Many UA-camrs have tackled it but not so concisely and clear.
I have ascribed to the aesthetic of QL in different eras of my style for practical reasons. As a mother, minimizing the color palette and pieces makes it very easy to get out of the apt in the morning. Regardless of how much I spent or the varying qualities of the pieces, when they are in the same color family it just looks pulled together. I don’t have to put as much effort into looking chic. I typically do this in the winter bc the layers make it look effortless. Whites, creams with browns and tans are great in NYC winters. Now in the summer, it’s all about the color, the prints. I’m accentuating the melanin and standing out. Of course, I love a white dress but it’s easier to dress in the summer to me.
I think it’s funny that the people criticizing and pushing the QL agenda are middle class or dare I say it lower middle class people who aspire to be like the 1%. Isn’t it always the person that’s reachin’ that’s hatin’?! Like you said, rich folk ain’t stuttin’ us! Well you didn’t say it like that but that’s how I say it.😂
You did a wonderful job! I enjoy you so much.
"Quiet luxury" is definitely problematic. Its Eurocentric and boring.
Hello, Simply Kura. I thoroughly enjoyed your research and point of view about "quiet luxury." We know that fashion is always looking for new ways to inspire us to buy, wear and feel the next thing. You are the arbiter of your own style and life! Be original.
I only picked (A) for all the cases, only because it just looked neater. I just like the neat look.
I can see that. (A) was very straightforward, not to much going on but also put together!
@@simplykura I am just now finding out that the clothes I had in my closet for years is called “old money “. Like you I am from the Caribbean so I do tend to add some colour into my wardrobe. I always thought I was just simple.
I truly enjoyed this video! I scored a 10
Thank you for taking the time to watch! a 10 is a true fashion girl!!❤
My question is, "who is the arbitor of this and why do they get to pick?". Excuse me banned from pick up? WTF is that BS. This sounds to me more like an aesthetic. I mean for me it's an aesthetic. It's how I've almost always dressed and its just more comfortable for me. I prefer minimal logos as a rule as it is. I prefer good fabrics for the better wear and fit. I prefer natural fibers so I don't sweat. I don't shop all the time and don't want to so I buy good to keep it longer. The whole 'old money' tag is not appropriate as the look has nothing to do with old money. The Koch's are trash and I hope they go under sooner rather that later. As to Fashion, the whole point is to wear what you love. Do it! Enjoy. They are your clothes you wear em as you like! These things are not mutually exclusive. There is enough for everyone and we should realise that soonish and help each other reach that goal.
the truth is that you can never properly surmise how much money someone has by looking at them. a lot of people live well above their means, credit cards exist, fraud exists, and a lot of people do live below their means on purpose. i live in NYC and the old money women on the upper east side definitely dress on trend and don't only wear classics. they wear tons of patterns, prints, and couture. they'll buy a $5,000 ready-to-wear coat to wear once to an event and then throw it to the back of their closet like it's nothing. quiet luxury is a myth
Yes, I too refuse to let this melanin go to waste.😊
Everybody ain’t got it! 🤷🏽♀️ Cant let it go to waste!😂
I scored a 7. I agree that I'm going to do luxury as I always do...like myself! I'm very much a Black woman (80s baby) with southern roots from DC so I love the occasional logo, gold jewelry & sneakers/boots are always "yes"! I dress for the occasion and my mood. As for color, the good Lord would not have given this melanin that looks AMZING in shades of orange, blue, yellow, hell all of the colors if I wasn't supposed to highlight one of my best features!
I just love the way you educate us on fashion so eloquently spoken. And I got a 10 by the way love your videos
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to watch!😩 A 10!! You are a real fashion girl!! Love it!❤
Look out of the all the fits I liked what I liked. I only heard of quiet luxury today. Definitely doesn't mean I care about the trend.
I love this video. So many people need to mind their business.
Sooo many!🙄🙄😂😂
I love your take on quiet luxury! You really broke down this “new” trend. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. You clearly do your research! 😊
I try not to follow trends just because it’s what’s popular. I prefer spending my money on things that will last and that I’ll want to wear for more than a moment.
Kura, you did your Big One with this video! Loved it!🙌🏾✨♥️

I am so sick and tired of everybody. Word of the day now is quiet luxury how society has become if you don’t think like I think dress like a dress, then you are not worthy like you said dress what makes you happy because how I dress does not affect any process of your life.
Your scenarios are everything 😂

You are clearly a well educated woman which rises above all the arguments which you so eloquently discussed.
This needed to be said. I never thought about it that way, most wealthy are not thinking about us, the way we obsess over them💡Unless it's to their benefit like our labour, resources, creativity ect...
I like the Tom Ford commentary. Head to toe in quiet luxury beige and head to toe in logo mania, both feel prescribed. Both convey the same message of not knowing yourself, or not being able to express your true self through fashion, which is fine as well. They are many creative outlets to chose from other than fashion. Probably when you're able to express yourself in whatever your thing is your personal style may organically come to the surface, or at the very least this conversation becomes mute to you. So do you boo.
Yes, they are only think about us for what we can do for them! 🤷🏾♀ The time and energy we put into being like the wealthy is odd. "Head to toe in quiet luxury beige and head to toe in logo mania, both feel prescribed" Wow! I have not made that connection untill now! ! agree! You have a point about there being other creative outlets then fashion. That is most certaintly something to consider.🤔 I love you for this comment thank you! This has my wheels turning! ❤☺

Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!😊❤️
My score was a 7 in the game and that is the perfect number for me and my style. Similar to you I will and have taken bits and pieces from the concept of “quiet Luxury “ and incorporate it into my style. To be honest I always have way before it was branded as quiet luxury lol. I’m all about a sophisticated, polished, and pops of rich color aesthetic.
Me: Laughs in Versace ✨💫🌟
❤️😂 Right!?
I scored 8. That’s about right, I’m all about balance.
6:51 that definition is quiet luxury? That sounds like plain old luxury imho.
I scored a six. Idk I like elegance, well made clothing, with splashes of color.
i think you said this the best❤. do you boo
Thats all we can do!🤷🏽♀️😩😊😂 cant be worried about others!
I like classic timeless pieces that are easy to match and are in even in 10 years. And I dont like people looking at me so I dont like patterns and colors
Good video. I like a mix, some days I like color. it's fun.
Glad to hear someone talk about this topic who has researched the understanding of the topic. While I love classic things, color is definitely going to be a part of it.
A life absent of color is not the life for me. I love classic things. In fact, I gravitate toward them.🤷🏾♀ However, color is part of me and I will always have it in my wardrobe.
Another reason to dress minimalist and avoid logos is to avoid attention of being robbed.
I agree with you old money was made from evil mistreatment and use of others.
Sure was!
Sorry, but that definition of old money is wrong. And it is in fact new money, that is connected to racism. Because old money only includes fortunes that were made before the age of colonialism. Old money means never having had a reason to seek opportunities in the new world, because hey: "Why would we? We've got wealth at home to be taken care of.".
What? Old money can be connected to racism. Planter families like the Carters of Virginia, were slave owning.
Beautifully put Sis!!
Love this! Appreciate you did your research in this area ❤
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!❤️😊 Thank you !
I do think the American old money is a funny thing. I enjoy dressing minimalism in bold colors, a navy jumpsuit with a metallic bag and shoes, sounds amazing to me. I have found that old money in other countries looks different. ie Dubai, India, Africa etc. I prefer personal style over fashion, do what pleases you.
I forgot to mention Dubai! They are so lux over there and im here for it! Their wealth looks much diffrent then here in America! I would say that i do the same as far as dressing minimal in bold colors etc. I dont wear to many patterns.i love a metallic accessory! Thank you for taking the time to watch!❤
I loved this video it was very informative. I scored a 6 and yes I enjoy luxury items and I don't care what the rich people are wearing or doing.
THank you for taking the time to watch freind! ❤ A six is what I got as well!
