Exploring the Essence of True 'Quiet Luxury Menswear'
So, what defines quiet menswear and where to find the subtle creative?
So, what is true “quite luxury menswear?”, clearly craftsmanship and impeccable taste go along with it, especially for the man I adore, he’s about “creative subtly” as my husband calls it. Quite luxury is not just a simple suit or shirt but a quality cut fabric garment to create a statement without shouting “Logo mania, look at me!.”The men who wear quite luxury are men with style that have an aura of power not defined by just status but by sophisticated taste, pushing their ready-wear to a couture level in craftmanship.
Thom Browne
Let’s get down to who sells quite luxury; to begin, I have to start with the American designer Thom Browne. You might look and think Thom Browne isn’t that crazy creative textures, but when filtered from the runway to the shop floor, the menswear isn’t just beige suits and the typical “boring” when thinking of “quiet clothing.” The clothes are so artfully crafted with prices from $1000 upwards. Thom Browne’s art school boy approach is great for the man who wants to seek quite luxury with a flair for fashion and style without looking femme or over the top.

Dries Van Noten, Belgian designer. Compared to the Browne, with a lower price point and less of a selection, these one-kind suits and shirts, are more in the exotic realm, Dries takes a lot of inspiration from India and European countries, working closely with textile workers and fabric designers. The fabrics printed or plain are exquisite and I adore when men pull off the silk shirts with a simple loather and crisp linen pants.
Marni
Lastly, Marni the Italian luxury house, a lot more mainstream than the other designers creates not just great suits as the others but the chicest and edgy loungewear for a man, whether knit or pull-string trousers bringing a quiet flair to the stylish man you are. Marni can be colorful but paired back, the brand defines functionality with its displays of innovative fabrics and graphics. So, whether Milan, Newyork or Belgium, we've got you covered.
