QUIET LUXURY: THE NEW AESTHETIC YOU NEED IN YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE

While the new Tiktok hashtags will make you believe that #OldMoneyAesthetic is about pared-down dressing, sleek hair, and lounging in exotic locations, the trend is, in reality, all about dressing for elegance and investing in timeless, sustainable pieces that appeal to our collective fashion-conscious – something that we at Splash have been advocating for ages.

 

With a staple dose of airy fabrics, cool pastels, and timeless silhouettes, the new Splash summer collection has plenty of investment-worthy pieces that will add a touch of sophistication to your summer outings. If you are still confused about what to wear, you should know that quiet luxury is not only about the outfits but also about feeling confident in what you wear. That said, we are giving the busy prints and logos a break— unless it’s a little 80’s floral revival (so classy!) and embracing functional minimalism with elan and style.

 

Whether you are cruising the French Riviera this summer, spending the afternoons brunching with the girls, or busy being a girl boss— here are the must-have styles from the latest collection to join the secret society of elite fashionistas.

 

Classy florals

The subtle codes of quiet luxury do not bar you from wearing prints, just not too much of it. If you are reluctant to abandon your love for florals, these styles are perfect for you. A youthful reboot of the aesthetic, we recommend oversized prints on a white canvas rather than busy, ditzy numbers. With pops of green and blue, maxi dresses, co-ords, and schiffli embroidery pieces add modernity while still looking classy.

 

Classic harmony

Blue with white stripes is a classic combination greatly featured in formal shirts, but here is a way to rediscover it with more flattering and feminine silhouettes. Like a summer symphony played out in harmony, classic stripes are juxtaposed with a beautiful floral print to re-create summer staples with a twist that is tempting to buy into!

 

Ethereal prints

Quiet luxury takes a refined and understated approach to print; the best way to wear them is in traditional form. Paisley, ikats, and other exotic prints find their way to your summer dressing with a sophisticated white and black palette, and, hey, you can still indulge in a touch of bohemia while looking affluent and timeless.

 

Voluminous silhouettes

While summer is notorious for bright colors and flashy silhouettes, old money encourages you to come dressed up for summer in a more pared-back manner. While favoring a neutral palette of white, beige, and taupe, you can still gravitate towards voluminous silhouettes and layers like the vacay favorites in the collection.

 

Exquisite Folklore

An homage to the iconic tweed jacket silhouette – this tailored co-ord is perfect to don as you stroll through the airport and the mall. Every woman deserves an exquisite collection of elegant wearables that reflect her fashion sensibilities. With modest silhouettes and magnificent prints, these pieces are ideal to build a timeless wardrobe.

 

From the timeless archives

Luxe muted tones, refreshing soft prints, and drapey fabrics bring out the subtle and undeniable allure of the quiet luxury aesthetic. From well-fitted blazers to collared maxi dresses to pleated skirts and trench jackets— the collection includes classic silhouettes that resonate with timelessness and regal charm.

 

Functional Minimalism

From chic looks made popular by Lady D to our newest Netflix obsessions, denim is essential when it comes to achieving the style codes of the aesthetic. From true-blue jeans paired with a tweed jacket and classic white tee to denim vests — there is no dearth of stylish denim looks in this summer edit.
