Quiet luxury might be a new phrase, but the silhouettes, colors, and brands that encompass it are far from novel. In fact, I’ve been dressing in a way that would now be considered quiet luxury—think minimalism, with soft, neutral hues, high-quality fabrics, and elegant cuts—for much of my adult life. Now that it’s a huge fad though, my affinity for the aesthetic has begun to wane slightly. It feels too *everywhere* in a way that’s starting to turn me off. For the first time in close to a decade, I’m eyeing pieces of the louder (but still luxurious) variety.
To aid in my journey into the unknown (to me) world of maximalism, I put together a guide to the colors that I want to tackle first, ranging from only slightly louder shades to the ones I’m used to (i.e. cream, tan, navy blue, gray, and black) like margarine and mossy green to full-on screaming hues such as gold, mint, and tangerine. Scroll through and shop them all if you, like me, are growing a touch tired of quiet-luxury mania and finding comfort in clothes, shoes, and accessories that yell rather than whisper.
