Many decades ago, I got a catalog in the mail with a cover photo that still speaks to me. I think it was Neiman Marcus. It was three women, all wearing the same monochromatic outfit in different colors. The outfit was matching wool trousers, silk shirt, and longish cashmere cardigan, one lady wearing it in beige, one in pale gray, and one in ivory. I thought, that's what I want to look like. (Coming out of a decade of polyester double-knits, they looked like angels to me.) I save looks on Pinterest now that give me that same feeling. I don't really care if it isn't everyone's cup of tea. It makes me happy.
I'm 68 and to me, I've been a Quiet Luxury lady since my early twenties. To me it's a life style rather then a fashion trend. I love simple minimalist clasic style. I still have pieces I purchased in my twenties that I wear today and they are right on trend. But with that said I've never followed trends. I'd much rather have quality over quantity. I'm not wealthy nor do I pretend to be. I.just know that dressing like this makes me feel happy and I know that I'm presenting my best self. I remember my mother always looking stylish and put together. I guess that is were I got it from. She'd never leave the house without a scarf,.her clasic handbag or putting her red lipstick on. Ty for your time putting this lovely video together. I greatly appreciate it.
It really depends on my mood, sometimes I need quiet luxury; but other times I need a little more oomph in my outfits. I have never liked big logos on bags or belts. I agree that your own personality comes into play when choosing your individual style. Personally I feel one look / style would box me in too much. I like trying different styles much more!
Who said you have to wear beige? White, ivory, rich camel, traditional blues from medium to midnight, burgundy, deep red (as opposed to bright red), black, or gray are all old-money colors, too. Pale pink, medium pink, pale blue. Browns and rich rust, too, especially for casual wear. Quiet luxury is high quality paired with low-key, classic styles and colors. If you know, you know.
Thank you all for the tips. I usually wear one color because I’m 5’4” and want to appear taller and thinner. I do wear color, but I thought it might have to be beige/ taupe colors mostly and I don’t look healthy in those colors.
I like your personal interpretation of this trend. You look comfortable and happy in your skin. I have recently seen a number of women wear head to toe beige in loose luxury knits and it is out of character and quite startling. They seem to be mushrooming. The overall minimalist and effortless style of dressing with quality classic pieces has always appealed to me but I still manage to convey my own personality through print and colour palette and silhouette.
Well, that's the point of the old money esthetic, isn't it, NOT to express your individuality with your clothes? The purpose is to blend in, not to stand out. It's anti-fashion. Looking fashionable, or stylish, or anything else that stands out is contrary to the point, barring something special like a charity gala.
This is the simple natural classic style I've worn for 45 years. Maybe it's now regarded as 'luxury' because its getting harder to find simple well made natural fibre clothes at a reasonable price. 20 years ago you could spot M&S knitwear in charity shops because it looked like new still. Now it looks great in the store, but doesn't last.
I do like the quiet luxury trend but will disagree with you about high ponytails. They can look very classy. I have seen them worn with evening wear with a few wisps of hair on the sides pulled out to soften the look and a pair of small dangle earrings. Very elegant. I agree that one you showed was not classy. One thing you showed as quiet luxury which I disagree was a photo of 2 women holding their white wine glass by the bowl. I was taught in etiquette school always hold it by the stem. Your hand will warm up the wine. Just my 2 cents!
Quiet luxury trend made me change my love for floral print lol. I stopped buying anything floral and bought more no print classic items. I also stopped using canvas tote and bought structured leather smaller handbags this year.
I love it and have been wearing it for a while now. I didn’t know that is what it was called ❤I hope that is your new hat next to you. I love your videos. I look forward to them on Sundays. Thank you so much. I wish I lived in England in your town. I think we’d be good friends.😊
This is perfect for you. My Scotland packing from autumn last year. What to Pack Scotland for the Over 50s ua-cam.com/video/pdHg1LQN7F4/v-deo.html it was September that I went and wore these items .
Just to say, a high ponytail isn't tacky if it's done correctly. The photo you showed is a fright; that isn't a high ponytail done correctly. The Princess of Wales often wears a high ponytail; that's how it's done. But not everyone can look good doing it. It takes a pretty face, because there's nothing to soften whatever you have, good or bad.
I'm 69 and grew up with the original Barbie in the Jacky-O and Audrey Hepburn generation to look up to. However, I Love the outfit you call "grunge" and I wear a lot of that as well. Good taste can make any style or outfit look classy.
My favourite outfits on you were white jeans black top black jacket black shoes as well as white jeans striped tee and camel blazer. So maybe you are leaning towards quiet luxury. I will be copying these looks. My role model by the way has always been Jackie Kennedy . Great video.
Quiet luxury is buying excellent lifetime pieces you wear for your lifetime. I laugh, I still use my LV stuff from my 30s (many many years ago) but you can clearly see they are vintage. Nothing says you have to be neutral. I'm not sure where that came in. Its all the quality of the pieces and the subtle coherence of the items you choose.
Hi, I was just looking at your older photos and wondered if you have considered adding a bit of warmth to the colour of your hair? The honey colour looked very pretty on you - not that you don't look pretty now.
I used to as you saw. I went grey in lockdown and have enjoyed the freedom of not having it done. In this video I think I’d added purple shampoo to my wash so it looked cooler than usual but I quite liked the change. I’m looking for wash out temporary colour that will last say 6 weeks but don’t know what to buy.
Aren't Quiet Luxury and Coastal Grandma basically the same thing? They are my go-to style but can be so boring and predictable at times that I tend to add a trendy item to break up the monotony.
Variety is good isn't it. Hence your boxes you get. Im still gettinc SF and Lookiero here but they are a bit boring these days. I only keep one item generally now.
Glory be the journalists just make all this up… Isn’t it just dressing ..for the occasion..in a style that suits you…and not being a slave to fashion….isn’t it called style?

I might have written this same comment. Same age, same attitude, same experience. I agree with you completely. I would only add “understated.” 💯

Women that are very thin can do quiet luxury the best. You pulled it off very well in the photos you showed.
I like quiet luxury style, but I love color and I don’t look good in beige.
You don’t have to wear all beige to have a quiet, luxury style. Try wearing all one color, all red or blue all navy… that’s what I do😊
Who said you have to wear beige? White, ivory, rich camel, traditional blues from medium to midnight, burgundy, deep red (as opposed to bright red), black, or gray are all old-money colors, too.

Those jeans you wore with the brown jackets are really good. Fit you beautifully.
Tweed fab simple understated
Love tapered blazers

Similiar to my clothes well jackets don't wear baggy trousers chunky foot wear or trainers

I love your grunge look!
Thank you
Great take on 'the fake'.
Love your hair today 👍🏼😊
Thank you
Less is more flashing cash is not tt class
Fifty fifty fine line especially as you get to your late fifties less is more good video fab
I love it and have been wearing it for a while now. I didn’t know that is what it was called ❤I hope that is your new hat next to you. I love your videos. I look forward to them on Sundays. Thank you so much. I wish I lived in England in your town. I think we’d be good friends.😊
Yes the hat is a few years old but it is a fall winter spring hat. I will wear it more :)
A ny plain top under blazer fab
I'm heading to Scotland for the 1st two weeks of September. Fashion tips for Autumn?
This is perfect for you. My Scotland packing from autumn last year. What to Pack Scotland for the Over 50s
ua-cam.com/video/pdHg1LQN7F4/v-deo.html it was September that I went and wore these items .
@@Myover50fashionlife this WAS perfect! Thank you! We are having warm weather here in Glasgow!

It's more the face lift than the pony tail. maybe its a UK thing but it can be like trailer trash here sometimes. It's spoken about in that way too.

“Essex face lift”……the pony tail
Absolutely love the navy and tan outfits! Will definitely be wearing this combination in the Autumn 😊
That is great. I was inspired by watching Jane Seymore in a detective series last autumn.
Aren't Quiet Luxury and Coastal Grandma basically the same thing? They are my go-to style but can be so boring and predictable at times that I tend to add a trendy item to break up the monotony.
Hello Anne Marie,I'm just wondering what was your profession before you retired?
You and i have the same style❤
Excellent. You've found your youtube home :)
Beige white together nice but on its own drab camel colour better bought things from jaegar in the eighties classic is nice aswell
I know this is gonna be a stupid question, but why do you call it a jumper? I am obviously American and wonder why it’s not called a sweater😊
hi Its the UK word for a sweater. I know a jumper is a romper type thing in the USA.
Why do you call it a sweater?
In Australia we call it a jumper also.
in Australia it's a jumper too
I do not like logos on anything. Why should we pay for the company’s free advertising?
Old money better way of going on and hello anna
Hello Joanna :)
You look great Again today and correct
"Quiet luxury" is just another trend. Just follow classic style and look for good quality not logos.
I love quiet luxury. But I get bored and like a variety. So I guess I’m a faker!
Variety is good isn't it. Hence your boxes you get. Im still gettinc SF and Lookiero here but they are a bit boring these days. I only keep one item generally now.
@@Myover50fashionlife I heard SF backing out of UK and offering 70% discount….
Oh yes. Ive just looked it up. It doesn't surprise me. They seem to not be individualising the items these days.
@@Myover50fashionlife I think US has limited life, too. Very little new.
New money can be tacky
Yes i think that's the point of quiet luxury, not to be new money
Glory be the journalists just make all this up…
Isn’t it just dressing ..for the occasion..in a style that suits you…and not being a slave to fashion….isn’t it called style?
There is a fine line between looking like a professional girlfriend of wealthy men and being quietly luxurious.
Old money use money to enhance there projects job career and keep business flourishing for there siblings
So don't wear big logos.
To many logos yuck well made like pavers handbags plain Italian tkmax etc
"Quiet luxury" is pretty meaningless, it's really just classic dressing - nothing new at all. Plenty of people already dress like that.
