LIST: Quiet luxury brands to add to your wardrobe
In a world obsessed with logos and hype, quiet luxury offers something refreshingly different.
Not all rich people walk around in head-to-toe Gucci or wear a Rolex; some of them prefer pieces that stand out through their quality and timeless style. After all, true wealth whispers, not shouts.
Subtle fashion pieces—characterized by clean lines, simple colors, and a sense of impeccable craftsmanship—are usually favored by those who don’t need to prove anything and who invest in items built for sustained quality and longevity.
Ahead, here are some quiet luxury brands you may want to add to your wardrobe:
A.P.C.
Atelier de Production et de Création, or popularly known as A.P.C., is a luxury brand that boasts timeless, long-lasting pieces that highlight quality, authenticity, and charisma.
Since being founded in Paris in 1987, the brand has gone on to create a wardrobe full of good taste.
Those looking for a demure yet classic aesthetic will definitely find something to love from their lineup, which includes bags, jeans, tailored jackets, simple tees, and more. A.P.C. is particularly famous for its raw denim, which is a staple in their collections and is crafted from 100% Japanese raw selvedge cotton.
American actress Katie Holmes is one celebrity who has collaborated with the brand and has frequently been seen wearing their refined pieces.

Loro Piana
Loro Piana is another quiet luxury brand that screams quality unlike any other.
Founded in 1924, Loro Piana made a name for itself by becoming the world’s foremost cashmere processor, sourcing the very finest materials such as baby cashmere, vicuña, and extra-fine merino wool from remote regions like Mongolia, Peru, and New Zealand.
Their clothing collections for both men and women are timeless and minimalist, focusing on clean lines, neutral palettes, and precise tailoring. Whether it's a cashmere zip-up, a wool overcoat, or a linen shirt, each garment is designed to feel effortless yet refined.
You can also find scarves, gloves, hats, shoes, and leather goods that are imbued with the same high-quality materials.
Bea Alonzo can attest to their quality. She previously shared a photo wearing a pair of beige Loro Piana suede steppers during her trip to Spain. Other celebrities who have worn the brand include Gabbi Garcia, Lee Min Ho, Chris Hemsworth, and more.
