Trend Alert:  How To Style The Quiet Luxury Look for Summer

Are you looking to create that Old Money Aesthetic with a luxurious summer look? Whether it’s for the office, special events, or simply feeling like a millionaire on casual days off; this trend alert has something just for you.

We know styling yourself according to the warmer season can be difficult, but we have the perfect tips and tricks you need. From accessorizing wisely, using lightweight fabrics, and choosing colors that exude elegance – let us help you embrace your inner luxury goddess while beating the heat!

Read on and learn how to style your wardrobe accordingly for a modern take on classic sophistication this summer season.

The quiet luxury trend has taken the fashion world by storm, with social media stars and actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow, Sofia Richie, and Kendall Jenner sporting the look.  

Designers like max mara, Bottega Veneta, Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli, and jil sander are some of the designers who have built quiet luxury brands.  These designer brands create timeless pieces from high-quality materials which are taking the fashion industry by storm.  

The look has become even more popular due to HBO’s Succession a popular television series.  The show’s creative director helped to fuel the quiet luxury movement and popularize the old money style.

I’ve always loved what I’ve called the “modern classic” style which incorporates timeless design, clean lines, neutral tones, and a timeless look.  I have created my personal style by making thoughtful purchases and maintaining a capsule wardrobe.

Building my wardrobe has taken time due to the price tag of some of the high-end brands, but for me, the investment has been worth it.  The quiet luxury style can be created on a budget and over time.  While most talk about blazers, and finding the perfect trench coat, since I live in Florida, I have adapted my idea of quiet luxury to a warm climate.  Here are my tips for how to style quiet luxury for summer.

Embrace muted colors – opt for neutral shades like beiges, whites, and creams when choosing clothing items 

In a world of ever-changing fashion trends, it can be difficult to keep up with what’s in and what’s out. However, a timeless and classic look can always be achieved by embracing muted colors. Opting for neutral shades like beiges, whites, and creams in your clothing choices can be a game-changer.

Investing in quality basics made from natural fibers and quality craftsmanship ensures they will withstand the test of time and keep you looking chic and sophisticated. Plus, it’s easy to mix and match neutral colors, making getting dressed in the morning a breeze. 

Choose minimalistic silhouettes – a simple cut and shape of clothing will give you that ‘Old Money’ look 

If you’re looking to evoke an air of sophistication and luxury, there’s no need to break the bank. Opt for timeless, investment-worthy pieces that have a minimalist cut and shape. These high-quality garments are designed to last, both in terms of durability and style.

A neutral color palette is key when it comes to achieving the coveted ‘Old Money’ look, as it exudes an understated elegance that is both refined and classic. So rather than chasing after the latest trends, go for a simpler approach that will have you looking like you’ve been dressing this way for generations.

Invest in quality pieces – it’s worth it to buy the best fabric and materials to ensure your clothes last season after season

Investing in quality pieces is the key to building a timeless wardrobe. Classic styles never go out of fashion, so it’s worth the investment to buy high-quality fabrics that will last season after season. Not only will these pieces look better, but they will also save you money in the long run by reducing your need to constantly replace worn-out clothes.

Aim for an understated look by avoiding loud colors and flashy designs. Remember, it’s not about quantity, but quality. So, take the time to invest in key wardrobe staples made with the best materials for a polished and sophisticated look that will never go out of style.

Accessorize sparingly – choose small pieces such as delicate earrings or a gold wristwatch to add an air of sophistication 

When it comes to accessorizing, less is often more. Opt for small, subtle pieces that add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your look. Delicate hoop earrings, a simple gold wristwatch, or a silk scarf draped around your neck can be understated yet impactful.

And don’t forget about your accessories beyond jewelry and scarves; a sleek pointed-toe shoe or a soft holdall purse can complement your outfit without overwhelming it. Remember, accessorizing should enhance your look, not detract from it.

Layer with confidence – don’t be afraid to layer different fabrics and textures, as long as the colors are muted 

Layering your clothing can be a great way to keep warm and stay stylish, but it can be intimidating to mix and match different fabrics and textures. However, in the world of slow fashion, stealth wealth and quiet luxury trends are on the rise, making it chic to wear clothing that may not be immediately recognizable as expensive.

By layering garments with confidence, you can create a look that is uniquely you while still maintaining a sense of understated elegance. Stick to muted colors to ensure that your outfit remains sophisticated and professional. With a little bit of creativity and experimentation, you can achieve a layered look that will have others admiring your style choices.

Dress for comfort – add breathable fabrics such as linen, silk, or cotton to stay cool in the summer heat while still looking fashionable

Looking stylish and comfortable isn’t just reserved for cooler seasons. As the warmer months approach, it’s important to incorporate natural fibers such as organic cotton, silk, and linen into your wardrobe. These fabrics add breathability to your clothing, ensuring that you stay cool and comfortable during the summer heat.

Whether you’re out enjoying a day at the beach or running errands around town, adding new pieces made from these materials will keep you looking fashionable while staying comfortable in the heat. So swap out those heavy fabrics for lighter, more natural ones, and enjoy the summer months in style!

In summary, styling the quiet luxury trend for summer is an art that requires careful consideration. Cultivating a wealthy and sophisticated look in warm weather can be tricky– it’s important to pay attention to muted colors, minimalist silhouettes, quality fabrics, and accessorizing precisely. However, this doesn’t mean you have to give up on comfort.

It can be done beautifully by layering different fabrics and textures while making sure you’re still cool in the summer heat. Now that you know the basics of creating the ‘Old Money’ aesthetic during warmer months, it’s time to take your style up a notch! Which brands do you turn to for quiet luxury in the summer months? With its timeless elegance and luxurious details, make sure ‘fashion name’ is one of them!

I've been making a point to spend a lot less time I've been making a point to spend a lot less time on screens this year. It's been amazing how much free time I have to enjoy new hobbies and spending time with friends and family. I even tried my hand at painting with a Time For Art kit and actually made this sweet dolphin painting. I was surprised how easy it was even for someone like me who has very little painting experience. I loved how the kits came with everything I needed to make the painting, and I when I needed help, I watched a video on the Time for Art website. I thought it would be fun to host some friends for a girls painting night, invitations are in the mail--plus it would make a perfect gift. Be sure to check out @timeforartlive--I will link all their info in my link tree.
