Have you heard of the quiet luxury trend? It includes anything and everything ladylike, sophisticated and understated. Think minimal details, clean lines, neutral colors and timeless silhouettes. It is the epitome of elegance! Even though it’s a “trend”, classic dressing is always in-style so you don’t have to worry about your pieces becoming dated. The simplest thing to do to try this style is buy designer pieces in super luxe fabrics, but the reality is… most of us do not have unlimited fashion budgets. That’s why we are sharing 10 of our favorite ladylike finds that won’t break the bank. These stylish, versatile pieces are actually all under $100!!

Ladylike Trend to Look More Elegant
1.
Polished Polo
Polo shirts and sweaters have a prim, preppy feel. Style them with a pair of jeans and flats for a chic, casual look or with trousers for the office. I can see the late, beautiful Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy wearing one of these chic combos in Hyannis Port. This black and white polo shirt has an elevated ribbed texture and a sporty-chic black and white color combo.
2.
Structured Handbag
One of the simplest ways to add some quiet luxury to your wardrobe is with a strategic everyday bag choice. We love the unique structured, east-west design and minimal details of this gorgeous bag just under $100. It’s large enough to fit all of your essentials! It comes in two other gorgeous colors too.
3.
Pre-Layered Sweater
For those that love the layered look, but don’t really know how to layer effortlessly or maybe prefer less bulk, you can try a pre-layered sweater. Black and white is the perfect quiet luxury color combo, but it also comes in camel and gray. The balloon sleeves add a touch of femininity without being too over-the-top. You could easily style this sweater with jeans, trousers, or a skirt.
4.
Classic Jewelry
Another very simple add-on to nail this trend, jewelry. Opt for super classic pieces or some subtle feminine details like pearls, bows, etc. We love these classic gold earrings that you can wear with just about anything. If you’re looking for a bit more impact, consider these pearl earrings, pearl necklace, or bow earrings.
5.
Lady Jacket
A lady jacket is the epitome of classic, ladylike style! It’s chic, sophisticated and will elevate any outfit. This one is only $60 and has super luxe-looking fabric and gold buttons. If you live somewhere cold and want a lady jacket with a little more heft, this one is 100% wool and still under $100!
6.
Chanel-esque Dress
When in doubt take inspiration from the top design houses like Chanel. We love this chic tweed dress… the unique buttons, black and white color combo, flattering v-neck, and slimming A-line silhouette. You can wear this for meetings, out to dinner, events, weddings, or even with sneakers for a casual day. It’s on sale and under $100 right now! If you’re looking for a different color or fit, we also like this dress by Endless Rose that comes in a few colors, and this one by Mango that’s so chic and elegant.
7.
Elevated Belt
The slim, elevated belt is a must for the quiet luxury or ladylike looks. You’ll no doubt wear this Reiss belt for years! It’s understated, elegant, and super high quality.
8.
Midi Skirt
A midi skirt is a must-have in every woman’s closet and it works especially well with the quiet luxury trend too. We recommend getting a midi skirt in a flattering A-line silhouette, a neutral color, and high-quality fabric to get the most versatility out of it. This skirt checks all of those boxes! The light beige color is so beautiful and elevated.
9.
Pleated Trousers
Trousers are a trend that popped up last year and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon! If you don’t already have a pair of chic pleated trousers in your closet, these are a great, affordable option below. Trousers styled with any of the tops and/or accessories in this post would create an on-trend, ladylike look. If you don’t see your size, check out this pair too.
10.
Kitten Heels
The must-have shoes for ultimate ladylike dressing..? Kitten heels. They are so on-trend this season, incredibly versatile, wearable and easy to walk in. These slingbacks have a manageable 2” kitten heel, an elongating pointed, cap-toe, and they are the perfect neutral shoe! They also look like high-end designer shoes but for a fraction of the cost. If you missed our post on the accessory trends of the season, make sure you check that out here.
