Why I hate the quiet luxury & old money aesthetics trend
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.
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.
“Old money, new money… If you have money you are bless” I love that.
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?
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 pointing out classism and elitism of “quiet luxury”.🙏🏽❤️
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
Thank you for the true in-depth view of "quiet luxury". You are 100% accurate.
🙏😊 Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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🙌🏿
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.
Sorry to hear about your recent bad experience. Great video. Your style is always on point. Be true to yourself. 👍
Thank you! 😊
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!
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 ❤
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
If you listen to the entire video! That's what's being stated in the Video!!! Wear what makes you feel Good!!
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☺
I was waiting for your take on this, you have given the best analysis on KZhead. 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! 😊
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.
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.
Well said! Old money or new money, be bless to have it! Period!
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 KZhead videos. ❤
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'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
Very well said! ❤
Loved ❤this and your honesty. Thank you
Well stated 👏🏽 ❤
Love this…teach em sis!
You’re so spot on! Thanks for speaking on this!
Wow thanks for this video
Thank you for this video 🎉
Well said!
I totally agree with your remarks. Thank you
Thank you for providing your perspective. Well said😁
Truly agreed with you!!
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!🙏😊
Enjoyed!

Best video I’ve watched on this topic yet !!
Excellent commentary on fashion and wealth!!!
I love your messaging here. Refreshing to hear!
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.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So informative! loved this video!

Thank you for breaking it down.
Well said, and very informative!
Amen! 🙏 Thank you for giving us some history on quite luxury.
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.
Your intro!! Wow❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
Awesome video!! Your insight and clarity is always amazing.
Thank you for sharing part of your fitness routine!❤
