Why I hate the quiet luxury & old money aesthetics trend - Jak na to + styl
I ask that you watch the whole video and listen to everything I said and not skip through. If you skip through you miss parts of what is actually being said. I already have people saying I said something I specifically did not say. We don't all have to agree but it's not right for you to make up a message I didn't give. I never said its ridiculous to spend a lot of money on clothes. I literally have extremely expensive clothes. I also didn't say not wearing logos was bad. I showed you examples of me wearing logos and of me not wearing them. I specifically said there's nothing wrong with not wearing logos and that minimalism is lovely if that's your style. We can have a difference of opinions on this topic and remain respectful towards each other.
Girl, this is exactly why I hate social media sometimes people just misconstrue and they come up with their own dialogue. Don’t let this thing bother you. You’re entitled to your opinion and everything that you said is spot on. I love you you know in my eyes, you can do no wrong and you haven’t.
“Old money, new money… If you have money you are bless” I love that.
Imagine being wealthy and still caring about what other people wear… that’s just so ridiculous to me
It absolutely is ridiculous! Everyone should wear what they want😊
@@TheChicMaven I agree 100%.
@@TheChicMaven. I’m not sure what u mean by people only talking about old money and new money recently. Old money has not liked new money for a thousand years or longer.
@@TheChicMaven. Look the term up. Nouveau riche. See how long people have been talking about new money
@@johnsecord8539 everyone knows it’s been around for years, however the trend of “styling” to look like you come from old money is currently circulating amongst every class right now, which is why it’s a topic of discussion.
Yes, I truly agree. I personally choose clothes because they make me look elegant and feel confident not because of a trend or stereotype.
That's exactly how you should choose your clothing!
Finally, someone speaking the truth about “ quiet luxury”. I’m so over that whole conversation.
My sentiments exactly..I wear what I resonate with..sometimes I want to look ladylike..sexy, elegant, edgy, tomboy, comfortable, modern, chic, professional, or hip and trendy..quiet luxury is just another way to separate classes..we know where old money comes from.
Thisss!
I think what people forget is old money or new money cannot buy good taste. Style is something you have or you don, t. Having the confidence to be your authentic self, is the only quiet luxury that matters, otherwise your just putting a uniform on to fit in.
Luxury to me is timeless durability and personal style. Am I the only one who goes through style revolutions every so often?
Thank you for pointing out classism and elitism of “quiet luxury”.🙏🏽❤️
Yes, just call me classic. I totally agree with you. I''ve never liked the saying that rich is loud and wealth is quiet because there are many wealthy people that showcase their wealth (old money and new) It's not reserved for those who newly acquired their wealth.
Yes this is so true! I know many old money wealthy individuals that wear LV, Gucci and everything people keep saying is for new money.
Truth to be told you’re so elegant and graceful in how you explained it in this video .. agreed, may I also add that old money aesthetic comes from the aristocracy in Europe and it follows a strict code for royals and aristocrats to appear “more friendly and modest”
My personal opinion is wear what you feel good in, fashion is a form of art and self expression
Thank you very much. Thank you for your perspective as well 😊
Thank you for the true in-depth view of "quiet luxury". You are 100% accurate.
🙏😊 Thank you!
"It's a nonsense trend." YES!!! The trend of trendless dressing. It's a classic in a shape that will never go out of style. Elevated, formulaic gatekeeping take infinity +1.
Love your take on the quiet luxury topic. Why cant you just wear what you like, if you want to wear logos its your money your choice. Totally agree with you ,why are they trying to shame people thats working hard and acquiring wealth . I don't think most of these people even know what quiet luxury is❤
I don't think most people fully understand quiet luxury. I think they just like the look of clothes and don't understand the agenda.
@@TheChicMaven ikr most of them just pick clothes with neutral colors, mix and match them in what i formerly knew as "dark academia" then call it quiet luxury
Well said! Old money or new money, be bless to have it! Period!
Yes, at a certain point it isn't about the quality, it's about the brand and related social status. So nice to hear someone say what I've been thinking.
Speak the truth! Things have always been about classism. People want to “fit” into a specific class/culture and will do just about anything for a sense of belonging. Even to the detriment of their true self. Thanks for speaking on this. Love your content.
Glad you brought up Succession, the quiet luxury community always reference it when technically the Roys are not even ‘old money’, Logan grew up in poverty.
ooh really see I didn't know that. I thought his grandparents had money. I have to watch more episodes
The same way a bunch of sheeple fell into the Sophia Ritchie PR campaign when both her family and her in-laws are first generation new money at most.
Logan didn’t grow up with money, but he married and had kids with Lady Caroline who’s an aristocrat and very much old money.
I love when you said if you have money whether old or new you are blessed. That is the core of what we need to remember, whatever your style you are blessed.
Thank you for talking about classism and racism in the history of fashion and how fashion is used to shame people who have just comeup in the world. I just got into fashion in the last 4 years so I'm new to this. Thank you for talking about your exsperiences with wealthy people and how it really is . I've been shamed myself for not having the right clothes etc in more wealthy neighborhoods comming from a poor background. I wont let them shame me anymore!
This was a very interesting video. I didn’t know the history of the “not wearing white after Labor Day” tradition, so thank you for mentioning that.
I think what is missing from this conversation is the fact that people with newly found wealth buy loud luxury items so that they can separate themselves from the lower classes as well. Everyone is using luxury fashion to signal their social status, whether it is quiet or loud.
I think part of the issue is people are so inauthentic they’ll go with whatever trend is popular now, sway wherever the wind blows
I also think this trend is almost a backlash to people of color now being able to afford these higher priced luxury items and these brand, wanting to keep it to a certain group of people you see it with these astronomical price increases you see it with people making fun of certain people who like logos or more flashier items it’s way more deeper than just wanting to look like you come from money and who cares I would rather be from new money because you actually had to work to get to where you are it wasn’t something that was handed to you. There’s no shame in that.
There is absolutely no shame in being new money at all! You're absolutely right it certainly has to do with people of color having more access now. I tried to go deep without going to deep.
Exactly my thoughts. In fact, I’d say black people are the originators of quiet luxury because we were targets of jealousy and hate if ever above white people in wealth.
It really resonated with me when you said that people spend money on what they value and that display of wealth can actually be very loud (I paraphrased). They can be quiet in clothing but LOUD in their leisure hobbies (boating, yacht parties, etc) or even with jewelry they buy and don’t wear outside of the private gatherings they go to. Lovely video! Thank you.
Well said Kristen!!! I am glad you covered this. As usual, some people are still trying to find a way to let us know we dont belong, even with money.
Sis, we’re here to say. They better know it and believe it🙌🏿
I love that you recognize that style and elegance goes beyond clothes but also is comprised of your character and how one presents oneself. You are so grounded and lovely inside and out. You are clearly the best mom, wife, friend, boss, human being. I’m grateful that you choose to spend some of your valuable time to share a bit of yourself thru your CZcams videos. ❤
I think that you pop up as old money (quite luxury)is because it means you do not have to wear logo's to look chic ,you wear the clothes not the other way around,in my opinion people should wear what ever makes them happy,you have great style fore give me but you could make a bin bag look good,that is you wear your clothes with confidence, your clothes inhance your look.
Thats such a very sweet compliment! Thank you☺
The ONLY video I’ve watched around this trend that makes sense!! I 100% agree with you. I also think the quiet luxury trend is a way to mute luxury expression amongst POC who’ve recently started buying and wearing things we can now afford. I going to be as loud or quiet as I want to be with my money.
I agree wholeheartedly with most of the comments in the video. However I do have a difference in opinion in regards to the Loro Piana Cashmere Baseball Cap. You are not simply paying for just the quality and the brand name. The hat in question is made entirely of not just cashmere, but of a cashmere that's been treated with a material that makes it completely waterproof. Most other "luxury hats" are made out of synthetic and/or blended fabrics that are much easier/cheaper to manufacture and are subsequently less breathable and have a noticeably rougher hand. Therefore, quiet luxury is not just about elegance and refinement; it's also about an appreciation for exclusive fabrics and treatments that are absolutely rare. Ultimately, you're paying for the exclusive natural materials and finishing that comes along with said products.
Classic and timeless never goes out of style!😊😏💃🏾🥂
It absolutely never goes out of style!
Sorry to hear about your recent bad experience. Great video. Your style is always on point. Be true to yourself. 👍
Thank you! 😊
I'm so glad you said that about not wearing white, I read about that and it said that it was a sense of elitism. I said I'm going to wear white whenever I want because it lotok good on my melanin and My melanin is all year long
This is something I have never heard of before. And no one should care what a person buys. You love it because it’s what you like. If you are able to buy anything of luxury, it’s a blessing and I feel that God saw fit for you to have it. It’s because of him we have anything. Thanks for teaching me something and keep up the good work in showing us beautiful things.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What is there not to love about your perspective? A fashion girl with much depth and substance. Love you!
I never thought anyone was REALLY obsessed with quiet luxury. It seems more like a social media thing. And as a trend on it, creators get on the trend and need this in their title to ne pushed, so they talk about it. But really, who carrrres ?
I love your channel. Thank u
Listen…you can’t call it “quiet luxury” when they are wearing basic tees on a yacht!
And you are so on point. They spend a ton of money on what they love.
Great info ! The biggest thing I always loved about your channel is your appreciation for QUALITY - which 9 times out of 10 does come with a label attached. But I could always vibe you were about the fashion, the style and choosing pieces that were YOU. Not the label ! I love quality pieces because they just seem to style so well, are often timeless and you could have them forever. And girl....to often people don't LISTEN, they are just quick to TALK. Keep up the great content I LOVE IT ❤
The way you explain this with such class is exceptional.I took a Gucci bag off of my wishlist because I was afraid I would look tacky by some people.Thank you so much
Wear what you love! I’ll be darned if I let someone who isn’t financing me influence my spending decisions 😂
WEAR WHAT YOU WANT!
If you listen to the entire video! That's what's being stated in the Video!!! Wear what makes you feel Good!!
I was waiting for your take on this, you have given the best analysis on CZcams. Others were just complaining and they didn't take the time to do some research as you did. Love your style!
Thank you very much! 😊
AMEN...AMEN, I have always said this, elegance is how you look and how you carry yourself, it's not just clothes only 👏🏾🙌🏾
I agree totally with you, the whole movement is about elitism , style and fashion are very personal and I hate the foolishness of people telling others what they should and shouldn't wear. If you can afford and want it wear it.
P.S. I love your style, it's classic, chic, and sophisticated
Love your style..great style is leaving ..I have been following you from the beginning and you deserve to to be reconized as TRUE style, classy and elegant!
Amen sister! This is seventy four years young, and I think as usual it’s a bunch of BS! First of all take care of yourself, but when it comes to fashion this is 2023! Wear whatever suits you and makes you feel good! At my age I have seen styles come and go and repeat! I must admit I had to get used to feathers and sequins in the afternoon, but oh well, to each it’s own! You learn something new everyday. Thanks for the history lesson about white after Labor Day, I never knew where that came from. My only rule for fashion is if you’ve worn the style or trend before, you had your turn!! Loved the video!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Deidra!🙏😊
This was the best video of this topic broken down! Coming from someone with so much class and respect ….. live life how you want too!
I have watched a lot of influencers and seen articles about quiet luxury and I have to say you nailed it. Fresh approach and honest. I have gone down the rabbit hole recently and like you said, when you reach a certain price point there is a logo either literally or figuratively( the Scarlet Khaite sweater for example) SOMEWHERE! As a woman of color, I have frequently found myself on vacation or in high end stores where I’m the only one not like the others and it’s loud wealth gone wild. Wear what you love. Wear what makes you happy and showcases your best self and be a decent human! Well done and I hope it’s ok if I share your video with my other shopaholic group😉😉☺️
I love that you made this video. You are very classy no matter what you wear. When they say quiet luxury, what they really mean is that that isn't unattainable. Those labels are being duplicated in that we are able to have luxury. Like you said, old money doesn't usually apply to us. Thank you for making this video and stay classy no matter what you wear, class comes from within if you look good. You feel good, if you have style people notice that. So I'm with you on the whole quiet luxury. To me. It's like they don't want us buying their stuff.
Sis you were very clear and concise! There's absolutely nothing wrong in your explanation of YOUR OPINION! It's an ole story of insecure pple seeking to seperate themselves t/b part of an "elite class" for the sure purpose of self grandiose in their attempts to feel "above others" to validate themselves. EVERYONE KNOWS MONEY DOES NOT BUY CLASS...CLASS IS A STATE OF MIND AND JUST BEING, not simply being defined by materialism!! Now that's MY OPINION...Hated seeing you being cyber bullied!😂😊
This is the most concise take on quiet luxury I have heard to date! And I am 💯 with you on every single point you make.
It is just another way to separate the people who first got here through exploiting others from those who have finally gotten here DESPITE being exploited( or their ancestors being exploited).
Well guess what, like you said, we got here and we’re here to stay.
What a friendly and well-rounded perspective you offer here. I really appreciate it. Well said!
The best take on quiet luxury I've heard yet. Thank you! I completely agree.
Firstly, they stole your image without your permission . I am glad you are so honest about the history of new money. Thanks for explaining why people didn't wear white after Labor Day. I always wondered where that came from . Thanks for this in debt explanation . I will try the vitamins. I am on a multi , but I'm sure I need more mg. of some parts of the multi based on my age and gender .
I don't think they meant any harm but its just not right to put someone's image on your website. There were a few tiktoks with me in them and I was like where are these people getting my photo😂. That's when I googled it and saw why
@@TheChicMaven Typically anyone that wants to use your image is supposed to ask for permission . I don't think they meant any harm as you've mentioned , because they didn't use the image to tarnish your character. Thanks for sharing . I wasn't sure how I felt about this type of luxury. I'm not well versed in it, but you made great examples.
M'am... if I could hit the like button, over and over again! I love, love, the way you articulated the history of quiet luxury, and also brought us back to reality. A person will express themselves in whatever way that makes them happiest. I also want to take a moment to celebrate the way you highlighted that elegance should shine from within, and not just from outward appearance. 👏🏽
Thank you so much for your perspective. I definitely agree.
I must say that I agree with you on every point. This whole quiet luxury "thing" is such a joke! Who cares what you wear or where you got it? Also, if you have the money to buy what you want, do it and wear it. No shame! I am very disappointed in people who feel like they must make others feel small or less than. What garbage! NO ONE is better than anyone else! Thank you so much for this video. YOU my dear are classy, educated, inspiring, and wonderful. Blessings!
Love your take on this, I just want to wear what I love. Imagine taking the pleasure of enjoying the beautiful creations designers just because you want to fit in a box. Fashion is a form of expression that everyone deserves to enjoy no matter how much money you have.
Very well said thank you so much for speaking on this Iam a 65 year old widow and I love listening to you you are a Beautiful young lady continue Blessing to you ❤
Would love a hair routine video or just explaining how you have your signature look/looks and how you pair them with certain outfits
I sooo see this old money vs. new money debate as yet another way of moving the bar/line now that a more diverse group of people have attained wealth. For me, it's about as subtle as MAGA. This was a great video!
“Quiet Luxury” is also rooted in racism. It is a social construct which separates colors and prints that are often connected to black and brown cultures. It’s ridiculous and I appreciate that you’ve used your platform to deconstruct this racist rhetoric.
Moreover, generational wealth and “old money” has historically been obtained from slavery… so there’s that.
yes this is all absolute facts!
Well said. Old money, new money; you have money so enjoy how you see fit.
I'm in 100% agreement with you. I wear what I love and what fits my personality, the items I choose can be expensive or inexpensive in whatever color that looks good on me. I also think that the definition they came up with for quite luxury is not sensible. Thank you for profoundly expressing your opinion. ♥️
You are giving so much good points. ❤ For those that have been following you for a while know that timeless fashion is a key! You don’t have to follow the crowd.
Newly subscribed...love your fashion sense and how humble yet excited you are to be surrounded by luxury!
Thank you so much!!🙈☺
What I love about you is you wear what you love
You definitely are classic!❤❤ Thank you for this
Peace and Blessings!..I just want to say that I love your style and fashion sense, your commentary was spot on and very well said! Walk in your Light!!!😊❤
Love this…teach em sis!
Well stated! Thumbs up ❤
While I agree that elegance goes beyond clothes and material status, dressing well in quality fabrics is a good thing for everyone. A polyester garment by a high street brand can never compare to an unbranded silk/linen/leather/cotton clothing article. And this is what quiet luxury is about. If one aspires to be an elegant woman inside out, one would soon come to realise that dressing well in a manner that is respectful and still classy is of utmost importance and shines a bright light on one's dignity. The trouble is that we live in an age where carelessness and lawlessness is propagated so much that what is really good, right and true seems obscured with the phrase, "you do you" .
There is absolutely nothing wrong in dressing elegantly in natural fabrics like silk, linen, cotton, wool and leather like "the old money aesthetic". Just because it has become a trend now does not mean it is wrong. Modesty, elegance and a sense of style are key. We all ought to learn that.
Very well said! ❤
Thank you for this video 🎉
Thank you so much for this video. You are 200% on point.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Very well said! I haven’t seen anyone tackle this topic in the eloquent way as you have! You’ve def taught me some things I didn’t know today! Loved this and I agree with you 100%!!
i thoroughly enjoyed this one! the workout/health and then hearing the commentary or your POV!!! love it!
Well stated 👏🏽 ❤
I loved your take on quiet luxury❤
Well said, and very informative!
Wow thanks for this video
Loved ❤this and your honesty. Thank you
Love love loved this video and the intellectual conversation here 💗
Awesome video!! Your insight and clarity is always amazing.
Wow Kristen, very well said. A part of what you said reminded me of the tv commercial where the guy says, "Why can't I wear white after Labor Day", I loved this video, it was very informative and well thought out. It is so true, because I wear what I like when I want to. Some people say dress your age, but what does that even look like. Some say, don't get this or take this out of your wardrobe. I simply say, Be all of who you are, and do what makes you happy, wear what makes you happy, Live life and enjoy your time on earth. Sooo, thank you, thank you for this video... ❤❤❤❤
You’re so spot on! Thanks for speaking on this!
Well said!

So informative! Thank you for this video. ❤️
So lovely to see you in workout mode, so lovely Sisi 😍
Truly agreed with you!!
Great video!
I totally agree with the things you said in this video!!❤❤❤
What a wonderful way to explain it all. It's classism, like some people looking down on the Coach brand, because it is accessible to working-class people. If someone works hard to establish wealth, and they want to use it to invest, travel, buy luxury homes, or clothing, that's their right to do so.
Agree, and Coach is actually a high quality product. There is a guy on CZcams who is a leather tanner and he often makes videos deconstructing Coach bags along with high end brand bags...like Chanel...and he always gives high praise to Coach for such a well made bag. So, it's all about what the consumer wants...quality or recognition for paying such a ridiculous price for an inferior product just because it has a recognizable name on it...we can choose.
