 Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling so today we're gonna talk about the topic of the week and that is quiet luxury I Didn't want to talk about it because I feel like I Don't know it's been blown out of proportion However, I do know that There's a name for it now back in the day Living in New York City We used to just say They look like money No logos Nothing in your face. It was just like if you know, you know so When I was in high school In New York century 21 was the place to be okay, especially on a little job Little job century 21 was the place to be So buying designer items was just something that I started out young doing and you guys know I'm six feet tall so I could not really just go to a regular store and just buy stuff I had to make things work for me And if that took me to go to century 21 and just like browse around and try to find the best Item for my my budget. I did so a friend of mine and I we were both tall growing up And we both were pretty much go to century 21 and buy like Roberto Cavalli jeans Versace jeans and Mosquino It was a Mosquino Mosquino Mosquino. I don't remember. I just know they were both they were they were expensive But you know since you're 21 you get like a nice little discount, but they were still pretty high Now the Roberto Cavalli pants jeans were like really nice because they had like different designs No one in my school had them. I was only in the 10th grade She and I both were tall and we just we always had things that were different from what everybody else had because Everyone's shopped in the same area, but we didn't she and I both were already like doing like little jobs and stuff We were in school actually was 11th grade. We were in school, but still working like a little corporate job Through the school, so we were exposed to other things and like I said watching women All the women women who look like me who was dressed extremely nice It just kind of put my mind in a different place now when we used to see men And this is bad because we would see like white men, right? and it was literally white and probably I want to say Indian but definitely white men we used to see them with like White button-up shirts like linen shirts with jeans and dirty sneakers but still there was something about them that To me rief money So we used to say oh, he looked like money and not your typical look like money would change But no it was just different. So now that everyone has a word for it for it It was quiet luxury. I hope you guys can hear me because my air just came on it was quiet luxury, right? His jeans were probably that knows how much in that shirt, too And it was like the clothes were fine, but the sneakers is always just like a hot mess. So Shopping downtown it just put us in a different space as well. So let's talk about Gucci Before Gucci used to have those sales those mid-year sales. I think it was like twice a year I think June and December right and we used to shop the annual sales But I didn't really go for the stuff that was like local crazy. I think I mentioned this last video the so-ho The so-ho brand that they had or line that they had I still have them and the reason why I really like those bags now they don't they do have the big gg on them You guys can probably see it. I have one up top And then one over here. I Think those are the only two Yeah They do have they do have the big G's on them, but they are the same color as the bag So if you don't really look you won't really know what it is like is that although GGs are not so That's not as quiet as something like Okay, let me show you guys Something as quiet as and don't don't judge my little plastic This sweater This is a Alexander Wang sweater, this is what you call quiet luxury. Let me pull it out I don't I don't know if my hands are like super super clean I'm gonna show you guys This is what you call Now this sweater here. Can you guys see that? This sweater is like when I say it's so nice like Beyond nice the quality is insane This is called quiet luxury to me because these I have two these things were not For the low-low But the quality itself is what I really wanted like I didn't even care about the brand I love the style of the sweater and then I was like, okay, this is really expensive, but then I was like You know what? Let me get it and you guys know me and my tall self. I have to get What works for me? Regardless of the price, right? So that's like a quiet luxury for me Alexander Wayne Super expensive. However, I'm gonna go for quality first. The quality is great now Fast fashion like the Zara, right? Some of this stuff can last you for a long time some don't Theory is another brand People would think oh, they only have work clothes, but they have really nice things That's like quiet luxury for me as well. And I think it really depends on You and your own personal budget, right? because For some people there without theory is not not quiet luxury But it ain't cheap and the quality is amazing. So it doesn't necessarily have to be a Brand that everybody knows. I just discovered Bruno. I think it's Bruno Cuccinelli Like maybe three years ago Maybe a little longer and I was like who is that these clothes are amazing But they're very expensive. So that is like quiet luxury as well. So Do you like at the end of the day you want to dress for you do what works for your wardrobe and your style It doesn't mean that you can't wear Shades that are just like in your face Where would you want don't even put a name to it if you like things that are more on the subtle side You may probably do that with your your coats and you're like your blazers and stuff, right? Maybe something that's not too Pronounced as far as the style because you want to wear it for a long time and then possibly Maybe I don't know a sweatshirt you want it to be more logo driven because it's a little bit more on trend But quiet luxury this new name for it is driving everyone insane But it's been around forever. The wealthy people have been doing this, you know, they don't do certain things And if I'm not mistaken from what I understand The whole wearing white after Labor Day was a wealthy Class situation, right? And for them it was like don't wear white after Labor Day So they would separate themselves from quote-unquote middle-class people and poor people. I don't even like to use the word poor Less fortunate people with that, right? But who cares times have changed quiet luxury Logomania do what works for you. I'm not a local mania girl. However, I do love that Fendi Poncho, I love it I just love it haven't broke down and got it because I don't think it's as thick as I want it to be But I like it a lot. I think it's one of those pieces That's gonna stay around for a long long time even though it does have the logos all over it, but Do what works for you guys don't get caught up in this whole quiet luxury thing Trying to break the bank one because nine times of the ten it costs more than the stuff that is in your face think of like ready-to-wear stuff, right? Chanel has ready-to-wear they do have their logo on it, but it's not well actually none of their stuff It's like crazy But you do have designers that have ready to wear that's just like so expensive and the logo is like this small Like so tiny but then if you go to like a regular department store and buy something else from that brand Complete not ready to wear the locals can be everywhere So it really just depends on you as an individual and I feel like it's blown out of proportion. It's so dumb Do what works for you, but I will say this How I do it when it comes to bags and stuff Yes, you can it really just depends It really depends on what your budget is. So as a style coach when I have clients and stuff I don't tell them to buy the most expensive things. They think that I Everything I pick out is expensive. It's not that I really be reading the labels for the quality And that's because I don't want them to actually Someone's calling me Hold on one second guys That's my little brother All right, so yeah, so basically you want to this is this is my opinion When it comes to your bags and your shoes Your trench coats your wool coats Your ponchos even your cardigans and stuff. I would say Go quiet luxury. I'm gonna use that word for those Solder because you can wear them Year after year after year more of a classic, right? So maybe if you want to dive into quiet luxury Because it is expensive you want to get the things that you can get your cost per wear out of it, right? Let's take Kate for example. Kate is another quiet luxury brand in my opinion Sweaters from Kate are extremely expensive Now the only difference with Kate is that the style is like Well, let you know that it's Kate I don't know if the style is gonna be around for a long time So I guess think about do you really want to invest in something like that that may not be out in the next two years? So that's how I say do it buy some things that are trendy that are in your face Logomania if that's what you like and then buy your essential pieces Essential pieces that are quote-unquote quiet luxury right and like I said cashmere sweaters Those are expensive depending on the designer But you could also get some that are a decent quality That can still last you some years from you know designers that are not as expensive But at the end of the day buy what works for you Listen perfume is even expensive. Okay, jewelry is even expensive these little rings You guys know these little rings from a ritzy not a ritzy yet. What is this? Where are these from again? I forgot I did a video on them. I completely forgot and Louisa. No, I don't think so the other place Anyway, but they were expensive back in the day. You can buy these for like a hundred and fifty dollars not today So again, it really just depends on your budget and your lifestyle quiet luxury luxury has not been this new thing it's been around for Years, okay, many many many many years and now there's a name for it because of some show By the best quality guys and that is it. I'm also gonna tell you to buy the best quality If you can if you can't okay by the best quality for your budget Don't go breaking the bank if you don't have it but buy the best quality for your budget if you're used to shop at old Navy And now you can step it up to Zara Yeah, do that then you go to Zara and you pick out the best pieces that you can pick out from Zara Otherwise, don't try to break the bank and then from Zara you want to you know level up a little bit more to What's the other brand you got Bruno Cuccinelli? That's expensive theory, right? And then you just kind of go up from there go from there before you know it You'll have the wardrobe of your dreams full of the clothes that you absolutely love With a mix of quiet Quiet luxury and a logo mania luxury. So that was just my quick little chat about quiet luxury There's a new name for it. I Hate it Just buy what you want to buy and I just call it classy and I'll give you guys an example I went to the mall recently And I was really simple but the lady said to me you girl you look like money and that is what this is what I know of Quiet luxury being it's that subtle look like hmm Like I said if you know you know, right? It could be your earrings. It can be a bracelet. It could be a watch It could be you being minimal and Not quote-unquote loud They're gonna be like, okay. I see you and like I said if you know You know But that is my quick chat about quiet luxury guys Don't let it take you out of your realm of fashion and style if you love logos. Just wear them Okay, but just know that most of the time you're gonna have to probably buy the item over But if that is your thing then you just leave it forget what the naysayers say if you like quiet luxury That's just your thing. It is what it is. That's it. Everyone does their own thing when it comes to fashion Everyone may not like it and who cares right do what works for you But anyway guys, let me know what you guys think in the comment.
