Want to be a minimalist at all costs? Nocs Design has the perfect speaker. Designed with avant-garde fashion brand Heliot Emil, the Monolith lives up to its name. Handmade in Sweden, it has two 6″ woofers and three 3.5″ full-range drivers buried in a stainless steel case. We love how Nocs mentions that you can connect up to eight of these.

NWM One Wireless headphones look like one of those AI-generated concept renders that plague Instagram. But it’s an actual product, albeit for specific needs. Instead of ear cups, its drivers dangle in open frames. Its noise-canceling tech does a good job of minimizing sound leakage. They’re not the best sounding, but unique and comfortable.

If you were to ask me who has been a consistent style muse for me since I started working in fashion (beyond the Olsen twins, of course), it would be Toteme’s co-founder and creative director, Elin Kling. If I could only wear one brand for the rest of my life, it would be Toteme, and I declared as much some years ago. When it comes to Kling’s personal style, it dawned on me that I still reference just about all of her looks from a decade ago up until today. That’s impressive in my book, to say the least.
Below, I take you through some of my favorite ensembles from Kling that date back 10 years or more. How does she do it? It’s all thanks to her continued commitment to elevated basics like tailored black blazers, classic jeans, simple shoes, and other genuinely timeless pieces. Keep scrolling to see seven incredibly chic outfits from Kling’s stylish archive that you can wear now and for many years to come. Seriously, these look like they could have been shot yesterday.

My love of extremely chill fashion is showing no signs of slowing down. As I begin to think about where my wardrobe is heading, the purchases I’m most interested in are best described as quietly cool—relevant and forward but not quite trendy, more like seasonal updates for those always-on classic styles.
For the year ahead, I’m mainly looking to reinvest in some of my most-loved items of this year, doubling down on chic and easy accessories, wide-leg trousers, flat footwear, and a slew of other items that have had the most wear. As for the new things piquing my interest, they still center minimalism: clean lines, strong neutral pieces, basics that definitely aren’t boring. I want even my most low-key buys to have a point of view, and these 37 pared-back styles all fit the bill—on top of that, they look expensive and are sure to go the distance in 2024.

As anyone who lives in New York will tell you, Williamsburg is the new SoHo. For better or worse, North 6th Street, in particular—just a couple of blocks from my apartment—has transformed into a bona fide shopping destination, home to the likes of Glossier, Byredo, and Chanel Beauty, not to mention Hermès, Reformation, and Madewell.
My newest neighbor is COS, which is equal parts excellent and dangerous. I used to *innocently* walk my dog past every day, but now that Ruby knows the lovely staff have treats for her behind the counter, I’ve been forced to go inside more than once. In the name of research, I’ve been taking mental note of the rich-looking styles that are giving the most quiet luxury energy. Here’s what’s at the top of my wish list, including picks from in-store, some online exclusives, and the one chic item I couldn’t not buy.

As one of the fashion capitals of the world, London is home to countless trendsetters, tastemakers, and iconic and up-and-coming brands.

ALIGNE favors timeless pieces that mix and match seamlessly, and best of all, they’re chic and high quality but still reasonably priced.

As a so-called “crazy bag lady” by my closest fashion friends and boyfriend (who, admittedly, bares the brunt of my purse-hunting obsession with the closet space I’ve slowly taken over), I know a thing or two about purses. From $20 thrifted finds to high-street luxury buys that have taken me years to save up for, to call me anything but a handbag aficionado would be an understatement. So, when I say that next year’s biggest handbag trend will continue to be understated, sleek styles that blend seamlessly into any era of your wardrobe, you better believe me.
While handbag trends come and go, there will always be a dedicated section in my heart to timeless, “buy now, wear forever” bags that look incredibly expensive. For the most part, any bag that’s a neutral color, simple design, and sans logo will do the trick, although more and more designers are pushing the boundaries on minimalist handbags that still feel fun without being too over-the-top.
Below, browse some minimalist handbags at every price point that look incredibly luxe. If you buy more than one from this list, don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Having run the Olsen twins–dedicated blog Olsens Anonymous for over a decade, I am well-versed in their style evolution. For some years now, both Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been donning outfits almost exclusively with pieces from their own line, The Row. It’s no surprise that the brand has a cult following—the minimal pieces are all painfully chic and can easily be mixed and matched, making for a practical, understated wardrobe. The only issue is The Row is purely aspirational for most due to the hefty price tags on all the pieces.
Thankfully, re-creating the look and vibe of the popular collections can be done in a much more affordable way. While the same luxe fabrics and tailoring may be hard to acquire without the budget, it is easy to find elevated basics and sleek shoes and bags that are in the same vein. Not to mention, we have been graced with nearly identical dupes of some of The Row’s trendiest pieces. Think chic button-down shirts, smart trousers, classic heels, oversize sweaters, luxe-looking shoes, and much more. Keep scrolling to shop 30 pieces inspired by The Row that are under $200.

Fall can be a tricky time of the year to dress for—at least in New York. The past month has been so unpredictable. One day it was a sweltering 90°, and the next it was gloomy and wet. I quickly realized that I don’t have the right transitional pieces in my closet, but EmRata’s collaboration with AG has been the perfect solution. Her collection has these universally flattering pieces that you can wear everywhere from the office to running errands to date night. The best part? They mix and match effortlessly with each other, so you can tailor your look for the weather and your personal style. Seriously, you can’t go wrong with any of these pieces. Keep scrolling to see the minimalist staples your fall wardrobe needs no matter the occasion.

If there’s one aesthetic that I keep coming back to, it’s quiet luxury. I see it all over Manhattan, and I think it really reflects the effortless sophistication of the city’s stylish residents. So it should be no surprise that I’m living for the new AG collab with the iconic and inimitable Emily Ratajkowski, who’s an expert in the quiet-luxury space. She’s an OG New Yorker known for her classic, elevated sense of style, and that’s exactly what this capsule collection embodies. The pieces are made with an array of luxurious fabrics such as wool twill, vegan leather, buttery-soft jersey, and classic denim. (The Alexxis jeans are so good they actually made me want to wear jeans again.) Keep scrolling to see my favorite pieces from this collection.

When I first laid eyes on the stunning work of artist Laura Naples almost a decade ago in the pages of Domino magazine, I was immediately hooked. Since then, I have followed her incredible journey as a contemporary artist and have gained so much inspiration and joy from her personal style and home interiors. It only felt natural to get an inside look at what she has her eye on this season, and there’s no better place to shop than one of our mutual favorite retailers—Nordstrom.
Naples is known for her thoughtful process when it comes to her work, so it’s no surprise that she approaches shopping in the same regard. She gave me more insight into this, sharing that there are three factors that she considers most: “Color, texture, and form [are] integrated across the environments I cultivate, whether in my work as an artist, how I dress myself, or in my surroundings at home.” With Naples’s philosophy, I thought it fitting to have her break down her top picks at Nordstrom with color, texture, and form in mind.
Keep scrolling to check out the artist’s chic fashion, beauty, and home finds, including her signature studio look as well as an array of her gorgeous abstract paintings woven throughout for added inspiration.

If you were to take one look into my closet, you’d quickly get the idea that I am all about elevated basics with an injection of trendy and fashion-forward pieces.

Scroll on to check out seven fall outfit ideas that are simple yet elegant and shop each look.

When it comes to the most fashionable sister duo in modern history there really is only one name that comes to mind: The Olsen Twins. These two have been the fashion crowd’s obsession for decades now, and with the rise in everyones obsession with quiet luxury – a term these two basically defined- they’re back at the top of everyone’s mind when it comes to looking seriously rich and also seriously minimal.
Their designer label The Row has become not only basically the uniform for both Mary-Kate and Ashely but it’s a major hit with the celebrities Gen Z worships like Hailey Bieber, Lori Harvey, and Sofia Richie Grainge. While The Row may be a fan favorite with celebs and fashion people it’s not exactly the most affordable brand out there. But not to worry, I went on a deep dive for chic items that totally embody that stylish, cool, minimal, new york city vibe that The Olsen Twins are known for. After searching through tons of basics on Reformation, Net-a-Porter, Shopbop, and H&M I found 30 items that are guaranteed to give you that stealth wealth look.
Keep scrolling to see which 30 items I’m ordering next to get me that much closer to looking like an Olsen.

I’m a minimalist at heart. The simpler the better, especially when it comes to my wardrobe and home décor. I like to think I’m the same with my beauty routine, but who am I kidding? I can’t look someone in the eye and honestly say I’m a beauty minimalist when I sometimes use upwards of eight skincare products at one time. What I do know is that I’m primarily focused on the essentials: a good cleanser (or two), a solid serum, an SPF, and, you know, a few others.
Because of my extensive experience with beauty products, I feel like I’m just the person to curate the ultimate lineup of must-haves. So I curated a luxury edit because I obviously couldn’t resist, and I made a more reasonably priced version because we love a budget. Keep reading to see my picks for every essential step in your routine no matter your price point.

It’s practically essential for my job that I have high standards. I can’t just recommend anything—it has to be good, or why bother listening to me or shopping my endorsements? So when I say that I like something, you can trust that it’s been properly vetted and ticks off a bevy of boxes in my head. When I love something, well, that’s a level of approval in an entirely different universe. And love is what I feel when it comes to the 32 anti-trend items found below. You can’t tell because I’m hiding behind my computer screen, but I’m actually kind of freaking out over them.
From the perfect baby-pink button-down shirt (a wardrobe staple that I’ve been after for months) to the dreamiest scarf-coat that’s selling fast from Helsa, the list ahead houses one of everything a minimalist with an affinity for non-trendy but incredibly stylish wardrobe items could ever ask for. You’ll also find lady jackets, LBDs, quiet-luxury handbags, and perfect-on-the-butt denim. But I won’t give it all away. Scroll down to shop my meticulously crafted list of timeless fall staples.

If there is one woman who I will openly admit I have a full-on obsession with, it’s model, entrepreneur, and content creator Jasmine Tookes. I first became infatuated with Tookes when I was younger watching a Victoria’s Secret fashion show with my sisters and seeing Tookes grace the runway as one of the very few Black or Brown faces that got to wear the infamous Victoria’s Secret Angel wings. She’s one of those people who you can’t imagine having a job other than supermodel—that’s how gorgeous she is.
For years, she has been my go-to person when I want inspo for all things makeup and hair. My Pinterest history is literally filled with different photos of Tookes from her modeling career and appearances on red carpets, and now that she’s on TikTok, I get to see some of her makeup hacks firsthand. But since the fashion world’s obsession with quiet luxury, all eyes have been on Tookes’s personal style and sense of fashion. I know we hail Sofia Richie Grainge and the Olsen sisters as the high priestesses of quiet luxury, but if you’re asking me, they need to make room for Tookes. Her style has always had the main characteristics that quiet luxury is all about: minimal, neutral, and well tailored. She just looks like money. (Her collection of Birkins doesn’t hurt either.) She’s mastered that simple yet sophisticated vibe, and while her style is more on the minimalist side, I’m never bored with her looks.
Now that I’m shopping for fall, I’m making a list of items that I think Tookes would love and that will be staples for me to wear all fall long. Keep scrolling to see the 41 items that made the cut.

My best friends and I recently spent the day at the beach. As the sun set, a cool coastal breeze came through, and we each reached into our bags to grab a layer. I put on a hoodie but couldn’t help but notice my best friend’s chic sweater. The knit was immaculate, the fabric was so luxuriously soft, and it was exactly my style. I shouldn’t have been surprised when she said it was from Jenni Kayne, the brand with the most effortless staple pieces. (I’m especially fond of the cashmere and cotton sweaters.) Seeing her wear it only made me realize that it was exactly the simple, minimalist knit I needed for summer. So I did what any editor would do: I searched the site and curated my 16 favorite sweaters to share with you. Keep scrolling to see what made the list.

Quiet luxury is all anyone can talk about right now, and for good reason. The rising aesthetic is all about a chic and understated vibe that exudes a kind of quiet confidence. It’s elevated but totally effortless and hinges on a few key buys that are timeless, well-tailored, and versatile—but perhaps most importantly, devoid of any obvious logos or brand identification. It’s anti-viral fashion at its core.
But just because the phrase includes the term luxury, doesn’t mean that tapping into the look requires a luxury budget. In fact, some of our favorite affordable and contemporary retailers are home to a trove of quiet-luxury staples and J.Crew is chief among them right now. Since it’s already everyone’s favorite source for high-quality wardrobe basics, it makes sense that some of J.Crew’s best-sellers like their tailored trousers, leather belts, structured jackets, and pretty flats add up to the ultimate quiet luxury wardrobe.
Here, discover the chic and timeless J.Crew shopping finds if you’re after the timeless anti-trend aesthetic.
