The days of layering on as many fashion items as you possibly can in the name of maximalism are officially over. Instead, I've been noticing a slow but significant shift toward a quieter, more luxurious method of dressing. Think soft, neutral-colored sweaters; exquisite tailoring; pretty, timeless dresses; and accessories you'll own and cherish forever. The only downfall is that with simpler, higher-quality pieces, the prices also tend to rise.
That's where I come in. Rather than diving head first into this inherently expensive trend without any sort of budget, I'm suggesting the 41 items from Zara, Nordstrom, Mango, J.Crew, and H&M that are listed out below. Not only are they all $150 or less, making them far easier to justify, but they also look shockingly pricey, easily giving you the quiet luxury look without the strain on your wallet.
Keep scrolling to shop the anti-maximalism trend that's taking over fashion ATM on a $150 budget from across the internet.
The pleats on this top make it so elevated.
A good belt really has a way of tying everything together.
You can never have too many pairs of black trousers, especially ones as elevated and cool as these baggy ones.
Slip these on with everything from a knit maxi dress to straight-leg jeans.
These silver earrings are a staple in theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing offices. They just add that perfect amount of oomph to every outfit.
Didn't you hear? It's time to start transitioning away from your super-oversize blazers and toward more fitted, hourglass shapes like this one.
The shape and hardware on this shoulder bag make it appear designer-made but with a really affordable price.
Simply put, if you don't have a denim maxi skirt in your closet, you need one. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
A bangle like this one works wonders for every outfit, whether it's a T-shirt and jeans or a long-sleeve dress.
I'm loving this deep gray off-the-shoulder moment.
This slip skirt is beyond elegant.
When your outfit skews simple, throwing on bold shoes like this pair can make a world of difference.
Watches scream luxury, but depending on the one you pick, they can look a bit showy. Breda is a great option if you want to avoid that aesthetic at a low price.
Sweaters are essential for this trend, specifically thicker-weave styles in classic patterns and colors like cream, navy, charcoal, and black.
These linen shorts are casual and chic.
Braided bags like this one give me major Bottega Veneta vibes.
If there's one item you need most to pull off the quiet luxury look, it's an oversize poplin shirt, hands down.
You don't even have to ask—the answer is 1000% yes.
The coolest dressers I know make sneakers look luxe.
With the hype surrounding Miu Miu's and Prada's leather jackets nowhere near dimming down, now is the perfect time to get in on the trend on a budget. May I suggest this $87 H&M alt?
The high neckline on this top is a small detail but striking nonetheless.
This pencil skirt is too gorgeous to miss out on.
A pair of sheer tights can make a world of difference in an outfit. Pair them with heels, a black minidress, and a maxi coat for the ultimate lavish look for your next night out.
Statement earrings are a big part of the quiet-luxury trend. Opt for gold or silver styles without much or any color.
There's nothing I love more than a dress that looks lavish but feels like pajamas.
Cool doesn't even begin to describe these sandals.
The easiest piece to throw on and always look good.
Simple yet impactful.
I've already thought up a handful of ways to style this tank.
These tie-waist pants are beyond cool and surprisingly comfy given the drawstring waist and baggy fit.
Pair this bag with a simple outfit to let the piece really stand out.
The fit on this bodysuit is 10/10.
Just wait until you see the front.
Finding great jeans under $100 is harder than you might think. That's why this $80 Topshop pair is coming home with me immediately.
The chunkier the hoops, the better.
Pair this muscle tank with a great watch, some dark-wash jeans, and a pair of loafers. Done.
Personally, I'm steering my skirt collection more toward knee length and maxi length than mini.
Snakeskin might not seem like a quiet luxury print, but these days, it's being done in a manner that will put your simple, neutral items to shame.
Everyone has a tan trench, but only those in the know get that a denim one is equally low-key and cool.
Great for work as well as a night out, this gray, comfy dress is as easy and versatile as it is compliment-worthy.
Yes, these heeled sandals, which look like they could easily cost $200, are only $120.
