Quiet luxury is all anyone can talk about right now and for good reason. The rising aesthetic is all about a chic and understated vibe that exudes a kind of quiet confidence. It's elevated but totally effortless and hinges on a few key buys that are timeless, well-tailored, and versatile—but perhaps most importantly, devoid of any obvious logos or brand identification. It's anti-viral fashion at its core.
But just because the phrase includes the term luxury, doesn't mean that tapping into the look requires a luxury budget. In fact, some of our favorite affordable and contemporary retailers are home to a trove of quiet-luxury staples, and J.Crew is the chief among them right now. Since it's already everyone's favorite source for high-quality wardrobe basics, it makes sense that some of J.Crew's best-sellers like their tailored trousers, leather belts, structured jackets, and pretty flats add up to the ultimate quiet luxury wardrobe.
Here, discover the J.Crew shopping finds that nail the timeless, anti-trend aesthetic.
