From the rise of style icon Sofia Richie to TikTok style gurus buzzing about old money style, it seems like fashion is reverting back to the classics in a major way. This summer, what is known as the quiety luxury aesthetic has blown up thanks to the aforementioned. Although it sounds pompous, this style is actually quite refined and classic in style. It relies on age-old pieces that can stand the test of time, rather than kitschy trends that could be here today and done tomorrow. This particular sense of style focuses on timeless silhouettes and wearable neutrals that can seamlessly be mix-and-matched with one another. Although summer is all about branching out and exploring bright colors, you cannot deny that sticking to this foolproof sense of style isn’t inticing. If you are not convinced yet, don’t worry. To prove my point, I am sharing some key pieces that will easily help you to achieve the quiet luxury aesthetic.
Key Pieces to Nail the Quiet Luxury Aesthetic

Tailored Seprates
One of the easiest ways to embrace the quiet luxury aesthetic is by incorporating tailored separates into your wardrobe. Well-fitted garments with clean lines and minimal embellishments exude refined taste and timeless style. You can opt to wear a matching blazer and trouser together for maximum impact or mix-and-match each piece with other staples in your arsenal.

Effortless Maxi Dresses
When it comes to approaching the quiet luxury aesthetic during the summertime, you cannot go wrong with a maxi dress. But rather than pieces with distracting patterns and loud colors, stick to more understated neutrals. And if you do want a piece that has a little bit of oomph to it, play with texture such as a pleat or ruffle. The goal is build up a collection of neutrals that you can wear now and into the future.

Classic Button Up
When it comes to tops, nothing beats a classic button up. Whether you’re heading to the office, attending a social event, or simply going about your daily routine, a button up is a foolproof option. You can dress it up or down. For more relaxed days, I like to throw on an oversized shirt over a tank or cami. Whereas, you can style with a slip skirt or a pair of trousers for more formal outings. Regardless of what your style is, consider a button up a must-have item.

Structured Handbag
When it comes to accessories, one item that can effortlessly elevate your style and help achieve the quiet luxury aesthetic is a structured handbag. When shopping for the right handbag, look for clean lines and a timeless silhouette. Although shopping designer can secure longevity, don’t feel pressured to break the bank. Despite the name, there are plenty of quiet luxury aesthetic bags under $300 – I linked a few of my favorites below.

Elegant Jewelry
The quiet luxury aesthetic is all about the little details. Every choice has a major impact on your overall look, especially when it comes to jewelry. Much like the clothing, your everyday pieces should be simplistic, yet eye-catching. Personally, my go-to jewelry of choice is a contemporary pair of gold earrings and a few minimal rings. But don’t be afraid to throw in something more flashy such as a tennis necklace for a little extra sparkle.
