WHAT IS QUIET LUXURY? LOOKS FROM THE RUNWAY
Quiet luxury is all about
Minimalist, classic, clean silhouettes ruled the fall runways, from Saint Laurent to Chanel and Rodarte. The secret to styling a modern classic look are the accessories. While bold necklaces in natural stone and chunky metallic bangles could be seen, the earring accessory mantra this season is: less is more.
Nothing could be simpler (and more elegant) than the classic stud diamond earring. Wear to work with a simple knit dress or well tailored suit or dress up for the evening with a simple slipdress under a statement red coat. Or, if you want to make your earrings the star, head-to-toe black never goes out of style, is always très chic, and makes your diamonds sparkle.
