Our Editors Quiet Luxury Picks Are A Mouthwatering Array Of Affordable Buys & Investment Pieces

It can be hard to know which trends have staying power, and what is just tomorrow’s forgotten TikTok aesthetic. But we have a feeling “quiet luxury” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The term itself might be new, but the style it describes is anything but. Well-made investment pieces that lack bold logos and colors have always been around, but recent forces in pop culture (and a whole lot of social media commentary) have made them undeniably buzzy. The popularity of HBO’s Succession, alongside celebs sporting more tailored, minimalist ‘fits rather than label-heavy apparel, has led to the “stealth wealth” look going mainstream again. Fashion enthusiasts worldwide are now giving it their own spin, either via the opulence of a timeless investment piece or a really convincing dupe. (Now that’s the real stealth wealth).

R29 editors have also embraced the trend, even if we’re more likely to be heading to the L train over the Roy family’s private jet. For a little taste of quiet luxury, check out our picks that range from high-quality basics to classy jewelry and timeless handbags we swear by. You could even curate a whole head-to-toe outfit from our editors’ recs. Ahead, browse through R29 editors’ top quiet luxury list to live out the “old money” aesthetic, starting at just over $50.

DÔEN Shae Tank, $98

“I don’t often have the funds to invest in new designer/luxury big-ticket items, but high-quality basics is a category I feel is really worth the investment. This near perfect — and slightly under-$100 — pointelle tank is on the more attainable side and is something I know I’ll wear over and over and over again.” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Strategist

Rowing Blazers Warm & Wonderful Crocheted Bucket Hat, $60

“For the typical Rowing Blazers shopper, buying a preppy accessory or sweater may not seem like a splurge, but for me, it was a fun summer indulgence that I love to brag about. I recently wore my last season RB mountains painter’s hat on a vacation out west, and cannot recommend treating yourself with a fun accessory or hat enough. If you’re most suited to the classic RB style, a la the Princess Diana iconic sheep sweater, may I tempt you with the matching sheep crocheted bucket hat that’s almost a little too perfect.” — Clare Palo, Senior Strategist Audience Development

Sandro Paris Cropped Sleeveless Sweater, $220, Sandro Paris Short Pleated Knit Skirt, $280

“In my book, quiet luxury items are the styles where you walk past someone in the streets and have to take a second glance because they look so polished, but you can’t quite put your finger on why. Sandro Paris does it for me with all of its Parisian-chic ensembles. The brand recently released a plethora of the latest summer arrivals, and this matching pointelle knit set caught my eye.”

“The delicate details like the pattern, the pleats in the skirt, and the contrasting stripes are all subtle but eye-catching. The best part is that the styling capabilities are endless. Just imagine the set with a sweater draped on your shoulders with mules, or paired an oversized black wool coat and loafers for the fall.” — Vivien Lee, Affiliate Fashion Writer

The Row Small N/S Park Leather Tote, $1,390

“If you know me, you know I dream of nothing more than to be dressed in head-to-toe The Row — and essentially morph into the fourth Olsen sister. So it should be no surprise that I was seriously considering investing in this perfectly sized classic black bag as a birthday gift to myself, but ultimately decided to give myself another month or two to save some dollars before I take the plunge into supple leather heaven. Note: if you’re interested in something similar that’s also big enough to fit a laptop. Check out this hidden-gem leather bucket bag from J.Crew!” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Strategist

Alex Crane Playa Shirt|Lines, $155

“To me, nothing encapsulates ‘quiet luxury’ more than a well-made linen button-down shirt, especially if the material is French linen. I’ve been wearing this striped number from Alex Crane whenever I want to channel my polished side.”

“It’s a very simple item at first glance, but the devil is in the details: the full-bodied organic linen looks good even with a bit of wrinkling after multiple washes, the tips of the collars can be buttoned down like a dress shirt, and the buttons are made from corozo, a compostable nut derived from the rainforests in Brazil. It’s my favorite casual chic item I always reach for whenever I am not sure what to wear, and it looks great on its own (I like to tie a knot at the end for a more retro vibe), or as a layering piece worn over a slip dress.” — Venus Wong, Senior Travel Writer

Polène Cyme Bag, $860

“What I like about the quiet luxury trend is that it’s allowed understated brands like Polène shine. This bag is the epitome of quiet luxury: well-made, cheaper than actual designer bags, and incredibly versatile and classic. This is actually my work bag since it fits a 13-inch laptop and all my essentials without feeling bulky. Because of this, I’ve worn it with pretty much anything, from jeans and a white button-down to a maxi skirt and tank top.” — Frances Solá-Santiago, Fashion Writer

Quince Large Organic Freshwater Cultured Pearl Hoops, $59.90

“As far as statement jewelry goes, you can’t get any classier than gold metal and pearls. I love the size of the Thai freshwater pearls dangling off these earrings (they are certainly big enough to spot from a distance), and the fact that they are permanently secured on a fixture in the middle of the hoops. This gives me peace of mind as someone who has unfortunately lost a number of charms when they were a removable option.”

“The hoops are made from gold vermeil and consist of a thick layer of 18K gold over sterling silver, which means it’s both waterproof and much more longer lasting than gold-plated jewelry. I plan to wear these all year-round, to add a touch of “quiet glamour” to everything from my puff-sleeved dresses to my cashmere turtlenecks.” — Venus Wong, Senior Travel Writer

Bottega Veneta Cassette Intrecciato Leather Wallet, $920

“Bottega Veneta’s Jodie bags haunt my dreams, immediately followed by Celine’s Triomphe bags. The two are interchangeable. One thing for sure is that I desperately need a new wallet, and I “accidentally” stumbled upon one of my favorite Bottega Veneta shades: raintree. It’s a deep forest green for which you can’t help but fall head over heels. I find it to be elegant, classy, and one that I can use even when I’m a 90-year-old Grandma. I love and want it, and while I’m indecisive when it comes to designer goods, hopefully, one of you lucky people will decide to give it a nice home.” — Vivien Lee, Affiliate Fashion Writer

Classic-Fit Cotton-Blend T-Shirt, $58

“I live in elevated basics and am always on the hunt for the perfect white tee. This Lululemon tee is a recent favorite of mine, and for many reasons: For starters, the fabric is a sturdy yet lightweight cotton blend that holds its shape while not being too stiff or awkwardly thick. Next is the fit; it’s ever so slightly cropped, but not so much so that it veers into baby tee territory, which to be clear, is *a* vibe, but not my vibe. The sleeves are also the perfect length, and I love pairing it with everything from denim to a silk skirt.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Starling Engraved Bar Signet Ring, $670

“Nothing says quiet luxury like a piece of simple jewelry you can wear every day and eventually pass down (if that’s your vibe). I particularly love a signet, and the bar style from one of my favorite jewelry brands Starling is a unique take on a classic. It’s handmade from certified recycled 14K gold and is versatile enough to wear on it’s own, stack with your other everyday rings, or slip on a necklace chain to add to a personalized charm necklace.” — Kate Spencer, Senior Affiliate Strategist

Frank & Eileen Relaxed Button-Up, $238

“A simple button-up is very easy to buy, and to buy cheaply. But this not-so-cheap (OK, outrageously priced) button-up is the one in my collection I love the most. It is juuuust the right amount of relaxed without feeling sloppy. (I don’t want to look like I’m going to the boardroom, after all — I want to look like I’m ready to get on my yacht!) I also get compliments on it all the time, which I feel is how you know a basic is really worth it. I will say that, sadly, Frank & Eileen only goes up to an XL, but the XL fits me well enough and I’m around a 14/16 in most tops.” — Marshall Bright, Affiliate Editor

Mulberry Lily Silky Calfskin Leather Shoulder Bag, $1,350

“To me, quiet luxury is all about craftsmanship and timelessness which means costly. But sometimes that means you’ve gotta drop some coin as you pay for what you get. I’ve never been one for big logos, which is what draws me to this bag, it’s simple, well made, and versatile – something that will last a lifetime and also be able to be passed down to my children. As I usually wear gold jewelry and neutrals, I can easily style this bag with any number of outfits during the week.” — Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

Frank Sarto Balica Flat, $120 $80.40

“Your choice in footwear can make or break an outfit (not really, but kind of), which is why investing in timeless yet comfortable, shoes is totally worth it. While Franco Sarto’s shoes aren’t the most expensive on the market, they are comfortable and look good (and I own many pairs that I love). If you’re looking for shoes that will go with multiple outfits while keeping your dogs happy, this is the brand for you.” — Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator

Shaya The Taylor Dog Collar In Cobalt Leather, $62

“Pups can get into quiet luxury, too. My rescue pomchi Miso adores this beautifully made collar from boutique brand Shaya — it’s hand-crafted from Italian leather and is the most luminous hue of royal blue. In terms of styling, Miso’s lustrous double coat looks pretty good just as it is, but he is known to pair his collar with a silk scarf for an extra dose of luxury.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

How To Find A Queer Wedding Outfit That Doesnt Feel Like Straight-Girl Cosplay

I was the little girl who daydreamed about her wedding day. But when the imaginary faceless man waiting for me at the end of the aisle became a beautiful woman, I realized that I had a lot to rethink. Weddings are tied to a long history of tradition, steeped in an extremely heteronormative binary. And as a queer person who has heard time and time again (and oftentimes not with the kindest of intentions) that my lifestyle is “alternative” (aka, explicitly not traditional), wading into the waters of wedding planning can be an emotionally loaded and complicated process. That’s because literally every moment of a wedding is entrenched in these binaries, which can feel uncomfortable for a queer person that doesn’t feel like they fit into them. If you’re in a queer couple that doesn’t adhere to these preconceived roles, reimagining your wedding from the ground up is a lot to take on.

An unexpectedly gendered part of weddings is the dress. A search for “lesbian wedding dresses” returns woefully little, most of it for effortlessly cool brides who want nontraditional wedding dress options, such as ones with color or short lengths. But for someone who still wants to feel bridal on their wedding day without cosplaying a straight girl, none of that feels right to me. That’s why I’ve put together some options for those of you who have started to search for a queer wedding outfit and don’t see yourself in the search results. Finding a wedding dress is hard enough without the added pressure of wondering if it reflects your gender and sexual identity. So, whether you’re masc, femme, non-binary, or something else entirely, your wedding day should be a celebration of queer love and joy — and, most importantly, it should feel like you.

Tl;dr: you can wear whatever the hell you want to your wedding, queer or not. But think of this as a jumping-off spot for inspiration. Keep reading to see some of our favorite queer wedding outfits, including: wedding jumpsuits, dresses of all textures/colors/cuts, suits, and accessories to inspire your perfect queer wedding outfit.

Queer Wedding Dresses With Textural Twists

Texture can be a really fun way to make a wedding gown feel unexpected or different. If you’re most comfortable with traditional bridal styles (think strapless, sweetheart neckline, A-line, or trumpet in a classic white satin), simply changing up the texture of the fabric can change your entire look into something uniquely you. Think of this option as looking less like a Disney princess and more like the Evil Queen (because what queer doesn’t want to emulate Charlize Theron on their wedding day, amirite?). Shoulders back, head up straight — these dresses will make you feel killer as you walk down the aisle.

Anthropologie Mac Duggal Kylie Strapless Ruffle Wedding Gown, $798

Okay, so this one doesn’t exactly scream “murder,” but we still think this Anthropologie gown is a fun explosion of ruffles that will delight a more whimsical bride. It could easily pair with a wedding crown for a stunningly regal vibe (check out our section on queer wedding accessories below for some of those suggestions!).

Free People Bronx & Banco Elena Crochet Gown, $850

Don’t ask us why, but it’s common knowledge that crochet is the gayest of the knits. Maybe it’s that all our queer friends spent lockdown making each other beanies, but there’s something inherently queer about this unique stitch, which can only be produced by hand. Though this strapless gown has the silhouette of a traditional bridal gown, the ivory crochet pattern and sweeping, sultry thigh slit are enough to keep it firmly in the alternative category.

Nordstrom Ieena Strapless High-Low Evening Gown, $598

If your queer wedding aesthetic is “grandma’s curtains but make it bridal,” look no further than this gold-embroidered high-low gown from Nordstrom. Its floral pattern, etched in metallic thread, is perfect for a bride who wants to feel like a bright, shining star while still being offbeat.

Below, browse some more options for textural twists on wedding gowns.

Queer Wedding Dresses With Pops Of Color

An obvious way to change up your bridal look is to add a pop of color. After all, wearing white on your wedding day is entrenched in a long patriarchal history (referencing our virginities??? in this economy???), so adding a splash of color is an easy and fun way to tell the man to go eff himself. Many queer brides choose to forgo white entirely, and luckily, there are great bridal options for that, too. Because we can’t think of a better way to celebrate queer love than by including (at least part of) the rainbow into your wedding outfit.

Wardrobe By Dulcinea Persephone Ombre Chiffon Wedding Skirt, $699

Shopping for a wedding dress on Etsy? More common than you might think. We have long been obsessed with the hand-crafted wedding outfits from Wardrobe by Dulcinea, which specializes in dip-dyed custom chiffon skirts, dresses, capes, and overlays. The immaculate work even won the designer a 2020 Etsy Design Award for the beloved Celestial Wedding Dress, but we’re partial to this ombre skirt that emulates a sunset with its rich pops of purple, orange, and pink. Throw it over a simple white sheath for an unforgettable rainbow moment.

Revolve Michael Costello Venice Gown, $248

If color is what you’re searching for, this watercolor dress is the perfect nod to the LGBTQIA+ rainbow without feeling like a baby gay at her first Pride. We love the soft hues that fade into the white, which keeps this high-low hemmed dress feeling bridal while being something completely unique. Another perk of wearing color to your queer wedding? Unlike more traditional bridal gowns, these are much more affordable.

Below, browse every color of the rainbow and then some for your queer wedding outfit inspo.

Queer Wedding Jumpsuits

Let’s be real: Wedding jumpsuits are a perfect option for a queer wedding outfit. If your gender identity feels like it lands somewhere less than femme but a three-piece suit doesn’t feel right for you either, a jumpsuit is a great happy medium. Plus, your wedding day is typically long and exhausting, and a jumpsuit is comfortable. It’s lightweight, easy to bust some moves in, and frequently pocket-forward! Plus, it’s often more budget-friendly than a dress.

Eloquii Mesh Applique Jumpsuit, $249

Talk about glam. If you are worried that a jumpsuit feels right in theory but isn’t fancy enough for your aesthetic, don’t be. Many jumpsuits, like this plus-sized wedding jumpsuit from Eloquii, are black-tie levels of elegance. The sheer mesh overlay is covered in delicate beading, which looks supremely bridal, while the flowy, wide-leg pants keep things loose and comfy. Pair with a bralette as pictured or a silk cami for more coverage. You can’t go wrong.

Asos Luxe Bow Bardot Embellished Jumpsuit, $320

If you’re reading to feel like a dancing queen (young and sweet!), we’re obsessed with this sequin-embellished jumpsuit from Asos. The sparkle and wide flared leg give more of a disco party vibe than traditional bridal, making it a great choice for someone who wants to steer clear of feeling too much like a capital B “Bride” at their queer wedding. But with the white background, there’ll be no mistaking whose special day it is when you don this jumpsuit.

Check out some of our other favorite bridal jumpsuits below for your queer wedding outfit.

Queer Wedding Two-Piece Outfits

As a crop top queer myself, wearing a two-piece wedding outfit holds a certain appeal. One, it looks and feels comfortable, but the variations of fabrics, cuts, and styles are endless. Plus, if you’re feeling a need to pinch your pennies when it comes to the outfit, a two-piece can be mixed and matched (is there anything more queer than mixing and matching?) with other outfits to be worn again, and not simply on your wedding day.

Anthropologie AMUR Oriel Strapless Pleated Bustier Bridal Top & Ophelia Tiered Pleated Ball Bridal Skirt, $826

This two-piece wedding outfit from Anthropologie hits all the right queer notes. Its soft chiffon fabric looks bridal, but the separates keep it from looking too traditional or stuffy.

Lulus Sweet Stunner White Lace Two-Piece Maxi Dress, $104

The price is right on this two-piece bridal outfit from Lulus, which clocks in just over $100. If you’re a queer who wants to prioritize other expenses for your wedding day (and there are quite a lot of them), saving on your outfit is a no-brainer. This top and skirt still look effortlessly bridal without looking as cheap as its low, low price tag.

Curious about other two-piece styles for your queer wedding outfit? Check out some more styles below.

Queer Wedding Suits

Last, but certainly not least, it wouldn’t be a complete queer-wedding-outfit-inspo list without a suit section. If you’re an undeniable pants-wearing queer, your gender identity leans more toward masc, or you prefer a more androgynous style, a bridal suit is the way to go. Luckily, like sexuality and gender, suit styles are infinite, so there’s sure to be something out there that feels like you and is wedding-fabulous. Do be warned, though: Suits generally need to be tailored, and much like tailoring traditional wedding gowns, it’s on the pricier side.

Kirrin Finch Light Gray Linen Blazer, $275

The best part about a wedding suit is the three pieces can either match exactly or be mixed and matched. This three-piece blazer, vest, and pants from queer suiting company Kirrin Finch is an excellent option for someone who also isn’t 100% sure they want to wear white on their wedding day. Light gray is still very wedding appropriate (although take that with a grain of salt — whatever you decide to wear will be wedding appropriate!) without feeling too bridal. If this suit isn’t quite for you, Kirrin Finch is filled with other queer masc and andro suiting options.

Asos Jacquard Faux Feather Trim Suit, $200

If your version of queer style leans zany, don’t sleep on this faux feather trim suit from Asos. Though it’s less masc and more somewhere in the middle, this set is screaming out to be worn at someone’s queer wedding. Bizarre, weird, strange, and stylish? If that’s not queer-friendly, we don’t know what is.

Suiting can be tough, but classic retailers like Brooks Brothers, Elle Tahari, Theory, and department stores like Saks Fifth Ave, Bergdorf Goodman, and Bloomingdale’s are all great places to start your search.

Queer Wedding Accessories

Every wedding outfit needs wedding accessories. They can be a really fun way to express your queerness, especially if your outfit leans more traditional than you’d like. From geometric bags to colorful shoes to regal crowns, capes, and more, the options for queer wedding accessories are limitless.

Mlouye Micro Flex Bag, $325

Though purses don’t traditionally scream “queer,” this unique-shaped bag is a fun way to keep your most important wedding-day essentials close without compromising your look. It’s roomy enough for lipstick, your phone, tissues, and anything else you might need throughout the day, but small enough that it won’t be a hassle to hand off to a bridal party member or throw over the back of your chair.

Etsy GlamourGhoulFinds Irridescent Tiara, $26

Etsy is a treasure trove of crowns for your queer wedding, but we’re partial to this iridescent one that gives a hint of rainbow in its reflection without being too on the nose.

Seychelles Starboard Sandals, $118.95

Another spot you can fit some serious expression into your queer wedding outfit is your shoes. From bright colors to patterns to comfortable sneakers, the sky is the limit when finding the perfect shoe for your wedding look. This sandal from Zappos is the perfect amount of color, and the heel isn’t too high, so you won’t be dying by the time you hobble back to your hotel room.

19 Mini Bags That Are As Chic As They Are Kitsch

One thing you should know about me is that I’m an avid mini bag collector. My fondness for tiny purses has been with me for as long as I can remember. In addition to being a statement piece, a tiny bag is also a talking point — with people constantly inquiring about what you can actually fit in one. I love convincing them just how practical they can be. While mini bags can feel extra, they also serve a real (albeit minimalist) function. After all, as long as you have the essentials (phone, card holder, lip balm, keys, and hand sanitizer), why bother with a big, bulky bag?

I am also not alone in my love of tiny bags. It's been a bonafide trend for a while now. While there were predictions that the mini bags would be phased out, luxury designs like those from Jacquemus and Prada have continued to trickle down to our favorite retail stores and online shopping sites.

With over 20 small but mighty handbags in my own collection — some that I use daily and some that I simply admire — I've become a tiny purse connoisseur. I'm constantly on the hunt for kitschy and funky options, searching the internet for the best chic and compact purses that I'd personally like to add to my wardrobe.

Tag along if you want to see my top picks for trendy bags across an array of unique designs, fabrics, and colors. Opting for mini, micro, and nano-size styles, I've meticulously made selections that are no more than 8 inches tall or wide. From Reformation's first handbag line to Coachtopia's Y2k options to a juicy (you'll see!) pick from Amazon, each of these tiny purses promise to elevate your style and scale back your clutter.

These Shape-shifting Mini Bags Are So Versatile

The Second Adidas x Sporty & Rich Collab Includes Summer-Ready Sambas

Sportswear lovers have plenty to celebrate this summer thanks to a new collection from Adidas and Sporty & Rich. Launching on June 15, the second collaboration between the two brands once again fuses Adidas’ street style-cool aesthetic with Sporty & Rich’s retro vibes.

Available in unisex sizing and ranging in price from $50 to $120, the capsule line reimagines favorite archival pieces while adding elevated details — for example, the it shoe of the moment, the Samba sneaker, will come in three summer-ready colorways (white, blue rush and cream white) with a pearl key-ring and co-branded box. The apparel offerings are just as warm-weather ready, and include a T-shirt, soccer jersey, V-neck sweater and a pair of shorts, all of which can be found in cream, navy and light blue hues to match the Sambas. 

Adidas and Sporty & Rich first teamed up last fall. That marked the first-ever collaboration for Sporty & Rich, which originally started as an Instagram account from Canadian creative Emily Oberg before developing into the LA- and Paris-based brand of luxe and minimalist sportswear it’s known for today. Recently, Sporty & Rich also joined forces with Lacoste for a tennis-forward line. 

The latest Adidas x Sporty & Rich collab is available to shop online at Sporty & Rich and Adidas.
