Why buy one belt when you can get three for just $14? And please, I beg of you, style them as a trio as they are pictured here. It's bound to gain you props with the fashion crowd.
You can never have too many pairs of black trousers, especially ones as elevated and cool as these baggy ones.
Slip these on with everything from a knit maxi dress to straight-leg jeans.
These silver earrings are a staple in the Who What Wear offices. They just add that perfect amount of oomph to every outfit.
Didn't you hear? It's time to start transitioning away from your super-oversize blazers and toward more fitted, hourglass shapes like this one.
The shape and hardware on this shoulder bag make it appear designer-made but with a Steve Madden price.
Simply put, if you don't have a denim maxi skirt in your closet, you need one. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
A bangle like this one works wonders for every outfit, whether it's a T-shirt and jeans or a long-sleeve dress.
When your outfit skews simple, throwing on bold shoes like this pair can make a world of difference.
Watches scream luxury, but depending on the one you pick, they can look a bit showy. Breda is a great option if you want to avoid that aesthetic at a low price.
Sweaters are essential for this trend, specifically thicker-weave styles in classic patterns and colors like cream, navy, charcoal, and black.
Linen can go one of two ways—either it's super chic or it's extremely casual. Luckily, these shorts from Open Edit is all the way on the chic side.
If there's one item you need most to pull off the quiet-luxury look, it's an oversize poplin shirt, hands down.
With the hype surrounding Miu Miu's and Prada's leather jackets nowhere near dimming down, now is the perfect time to get in on the trend on a budget. May I suggest this $111 Topshop alt?
The high neckline on this top is a small detail but striking nonetheless.
A pair of sheer tights can make a world of difference in an outfit. Pair them with heels, a black minidress, and a maxi coat for the ultimate lavish look for your next night out.
Statement earrings are a big part of the quiet-luxury trend. Opt for gold or silver oblong styles without much or any color.
There's nothing I love more than a dress that looks lavish but feels like pajamas.
My co-workers and I have been talking nonstop about this Prada-esque skirt-and-blazer set. It's so classy and chic, and even better, it can be worn separately for a more casual ensemble.
I've already thought up a handful of ways to style this tank.
These tie-waist pants are beyond cool and surprisingly comfy given the drawstring waist and baggy fit.
Pair this bag with a simple outfit to let the piece really stand out.
The fit on this bodysuit is 10/10. And if you don't want to take my word for it, just check TikTok. I swear everyone on the app owns it.
Finding great jeans under $100 is harder than you might think. That's why this $77 Topshop pair is coming home with me immediately.
Pair this muscle tank with a great watch, some dark-wash jeans, and a pair of loafers. Done.
Personally, I'm steering my skirt collection more toward knee-length and maxi lengths than minis.
Snakeskin might not seem like a quiet-luxury print, but these days, it's being done in a manner that will put your simple, neutral items to shame.
Everyone has a tan trench, but only those in the know get that a gray one is equally low-key and cool.
Great for work as well as a night out, this LBD is as easy and versatile as it is compliment-worthy.
Yes, these heeled sandals, which look like they could easily cost $200, are only $35.
