Wealth Whispers, But I'm Screaming About These 34 Quiet Luxury Nordstrom Finds
Over the last few months, the old-money aesthetic has been everywhere. Gone are the days when flashy monogram labels and opulent appliqué garments were objects the fashion crowd desired. Instead, a subtler attitude about style, high-quality clothing, and understated silhouettes has given rise to the toned-down, minimal aesthetic defined as quiet luxury. Brands like The Row, Loro Piana, Khaite, and Toteme have built empires from construction and color palettes that scream, "If you know, you know," and more and more people are turning to understated basics and elevated pieces to get the look.
Utility-led fashion has never been more popular, and with the rise of quiet luxury, it seems the rich are leading by example. While quiet luxury doesn't always have to mean clothing with five-figure price tags, nearly everything is incredibly versatile, coming sans logos in cream, brown, and black.
Although it's been said that wealth largely whispers, I'm practically screaming from the rooftops about these Nordstrom finds that emulate the chic, timeless look at various price points. Don't believe me? Just scroll and take a look for yourself.
Anything sleek is the epitome of chic, quiet luxury to me.
Levi's is known for high-quality denim, and it just so happens that these jeans come at an amazing price point.
Khaite is always a favorite among Who What Wear editors.
This bodysuit looks suspiciously like the one Shiv Roy wore during the season four opener of Succession.
A silver strap tells the world you have impeccable taste. While most luxury watches can come off a bit gaudy, this minimalist pick is perfect if your vibe aligns more with the old-money aesthetic.
Who can resist an expertly constructed white tank?
The new Bottega Veneta is a quiet luxury staple and the internet's low-key luxe darling.
While this affordable pair comes in a variety of colors, quiet luxury enthusiasts will likely veer toward the black and tan.
This cashmere sweater will keep you looking and feeling like a million bucks.
It doesn't get much better than these classic tailored trousers.
Silver may be the metal of the moment, but gold pieces are more in line with the quiet luxury aesthetic due to their timelessness.
This pair of leather sneakers is a cooler, richer cousin to Nike's Air Force 1.
