Quiet Luxury: beige is the new black

From Giorgio Armani to Max Mara, beige in silky or plush fabric reigns supreme. Worried you may vanish in blandness? Add a touch of red to the mix (ballet flat à la Bottega, for example).

Quiet luxury: buy the right blazer

When it comes to a blazer, the key is in the quality of its cut and fabric.

The tendency at the moment is to go oversized. A quiet luxury blazer, however, must be timeless and wearable for years to come. It can be paired with jeans, tailored trousers and a simple white tee to fit your silhouette.

Not everyone can go for a Saint-Laurent blazer but brands such as Raey, Isabelle Marant and Officine Générale offer some great alternatives.

Quiet Luxury: grey uniform

Perhaps you've already joined the grey coat cult. If however, you are still in doubt about the power of greyness, just look at the plain grey cashmere sweaters worn with white pleated skirts during the Prada show during MFW. Low key, yet ever so stylish.

A testimony to the perennial attraction of a plain little grey number.
