In reply to Wim. Glad to hear you enjoyed the article, Wim. Being based in the UK, I can confirm both of those brands have a strong presence either in physical stores in London, or items regularly being worn. Thom Browne is often referenced in discussions about tailoring, and The Row is regularly mentioned whenever Mr. Porter is in sale. Eb, who wrote the piece, confirmed to me these brands are evocative of the London style too, in that interesting way that fashion and style are often cyclical.

LOL! The more things change, the more they stay the same. Cary Grant often wore what might now be described as “quiet luxury.” Look at his suits in North by Northwest, for example. One of the comments someone once made about his look was something like, “He was always well dressed, but I could never remember what he was wearing.”

Anyone raised with any sense of decorum would never have fallen for loud, logo-laden, labeled pieces in the first place.

Another interesting article, thank you. Just a remark about two of the brands you mention. The Row and Thom Browne are two US brands. And while the latter’s materials and price point are definitely exclusive, the styling is so unusual I wouldn’t classify it as ‘quiet’.

Very interesting. It’s the Rodney Dangerfield bit, “I don’t want to join any club that would have me as a member.”

To me quiet luxury should be the same as classic style. I have bespoke suits that are going on 15 years that I still get complements today. Although, the cost of entry is high everything stands the test of time and always being in fashion. I think Thom Browne is one of the worst correlations to quiet luxury with a narrow over the ankle pants that make people look like a stuffed sausage
