The allure of “quiet luxury” or “stealth wealth” is captivating audiences, making it the trendiest concept of 2023, especially for fans of shows like Succession.
Quiet luxury is a sophisticated style embraced by the affluent and famous. It revolves around a subtle dress code that exudes opulence without relying on flashy logos, prominent brands, or mainstream trends. Instead, it favors classic, tailored silhouettes in elegant neutral shades like black, white, grey, beige, and navy.
The TV series Succession masterfully portrays this sensibility. For instance, Kendall Roy’s logo-less, utilitarian baseball caps cost a staggering amount, over CND$800, yet they make a discreet statement.
