Blueblood Alex Consari Wears Quiet Luxury Lensed by Arnauld Lajeune for The Travel Almanac AOC Fashion

Model Alex Consari is styled by Clare Byrne in a fashion story with Quiet Luxury bonafides. If you think the fashion choices look like the Old Money Aesthetic, you’re right. The trends are difficult to distinguish, except that Quiet Luxury is often more modern. / Hair by Lucas Wilson; makeup by Jen Myles

What troubles AOC about all these style-trends articles is that you rarely read the word “sustainability’, which we argue should be a cornerstone of Quiet Luxury and/or an Old Money Aesthetic wardrobe.

Additionally, an Old Money Aesthetic often involves repairing older items — even if the repair is visible to the eyes of others.

Just buy less, buy sustainable and even better — buy renewed or be knowledgeable about the fibers/fabrics in your new purchases.

If Quiet Luxury and/or Old Money Aesthetic trends show up on a Shein website, I will scream. ~ Anne
