Quiet luxury is shaping up to be one of the year's most popular trends. Characterized by timeless, classic, and understated style, we're now beginning to see a new extension of the aesthetic take form. Rich-Mom energy is a term coined by TikTok user Christina Najjar (aka Tinx), who built up a massive following with her "rich-mom starter pack" videos where she explains that rich-mom energy is all about an attitude of living well. The fascination around the aesthetic is particularly prominent thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow's Loro Piana-filled courtroom wardrobe, which sparked endless discussion about this style.

The main idea behind rich-mom energy is to look forever understated. Think low-key luxe garments, neutral shades, simple silhouettes, and stealth wealth labels like The Row, Khaite, and Brunello Cucinelli that are ultra-luxurious and seriously expensive. Along with Paltrow, celebrities such as Gisele Bundchen, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Amal Clooney embody the look perfectly.

Fortunately, you don't have to be a mom or ultra-rich to embody this vibe. You can easily emulate the style aesthetic no matter what your budget is. Below, I'm sharing seven chic outfits that give off rich-mom energy. I'm also adding plenty of shopping picks to get the low-key luxury look.

So have your bouncy blowouts, white jeans, and Goopglow Skin Superpowder at the ready before digging into the inspiration below.

Nothing says rich-mom energy like an all-white outfit, and Huntington-Whiteley embodies the aesthetic to a T. Lean into her vibe with a crisp white waistcoat and wide-leg tailored trousers. Accent the look with a neutral belt, and don't forget large black sunglasses to finish the look.

White pants are perhaps the ultimate symbol of rich-mom energy because they symbolize someone completely unconcerned about stains, especially those associated with motherhood. For summer, pair white linen pants with a relaxed striped button-down, ballet flats, a camel bag, and polished jewelry for a casual-chic look.
