29 J.Crew Finds You Have to See If You're After That Quiet Luxury Look
Quiet luxury is all anyone can talk about right now and for good reason. The rising aesthetic is all about a chic and understated vibe that exudes a kind of quiet confidence. It's elevated but totally effortless and hinges on a few key buys that are timeless, well-tailored, and versatile—but perhaps most importantly, devoid of any obvious logos or brand identification. It's anti-viral fashion at its core.
But just because the phrase includes the term luxury, doesn't mean that tapping into the look requires a luxury budget. In fact, some of our favorite affordable and contemporary retailers are home to a trove of quiet-luxury staples, and J.Crew is the chief among them right now. Since it's already everyone's favorite source for high-quality wardrobe basics, it makes sense that some of J.Crew's best-sellers like their tailored trousers, leather belts, structured jackets, and pretty flats add up to the ultimate quiet luxury wardrobe.
Here, discover the J.Crew shopping finds that nail the timeless, anti-trend aesthetic.
Neutrals are nothing new, but the fit, silhouette, and hardware finishings on this jacket bring it to the next level.
Striped shirting is a key component to this aesthetic and wildly versatile, too.
Before you call black pants basic or boring, take a look at the simple but genius way J.Crew styled this pair with a leather belt, crisp tee, and great accessories.
Speaking of belts, a quick addition like this holds the power to transform even the simplest of outfits.
This maxi length makes it feel a touch more elevated.
A relatively small price to pay for a bag you'll wear for years and years.
I can't decide if I love it more in khaki or white, so I might just have to get both.
Even on sale, $125 is still a steep price to pay for a classic shirt, but the details on this one put it in a class all its own.
*The* earring trend of 2023.
