Clothing and Accessories That Scream Quiet Luxury

This bag is made for anyone who wants an effortlessly cool edge and space for the everyday essentials in one sleek package. It’s roomy enough for on-the-go-necessities (laptop included) while maintaining a refined silhouette that won’t weigh your giftee down — nothing ludicrously capacious here, thank you very much. It nails that kind of style that whispers instead of shouts. ($428, Donna Karan)*

Although most quiet luxury accessories aren't monogrammed, this Coach Zip Wallet passes the test with its signature tan-coated canvas exterior, gold hardware, and smooth leather. Rather than drawing attention to itself, the high-quality accessory is a truly neutral piece because of the understated color palette. ($79, Coach Outlet)

With diamond-quilted nylon, this fleece jacket is insulated and warmer than it looks. It's deep color is sophisticated — just imagine how rich it'll look when paired with a black turtleneck. Your giftee can wear this on its own when the temperatures aren't yet frigid, or layer it under a heavier jacket once we enter that deep chill time of year. It feature snap closures and front pockets. ($220, Orvis)

If your giftee prefers to stick with a select few shoes, then opt for Franco Sarto's Square Toe Mary Jane Flats. The faux patent leather and square toe makes them modern, but they’ll still add that classic flair to everything from jeans to dresses. They'll be able to style this shoe for countless occasions, from casual gatherings and work events to elevated dinners. ($115, Nordstrom)

The best stealth-wealth pieces are secretly affordable, like this classic Breda bracelet watch. To add to the luxe appeal, the stainless steel bracelet has a mother-of-pearl dial and fastens with a jewelry clasp. ($195, Revolve)

Influencer-favorite brand Dragon Diffusion has created a classic bag suitable for lounging at a resort or pairing with their breezy dinner dresses. The handbag has a main compartment that’ll easily fit their wallet, lipstick, hand sanitizer, phone, or camera — basically all their important knickknacks — and comes with a long braided strap that they can also wear as a crossbody. ($260, Farfetch)

Another chic travel piece, this Monos Metro Weekender is an oversized tote with multiple interior pockets and a 16-inch laptop sleeve. Additionally, there's a zippered lower storage for extra pairs of shoes, and a sleeve for your suitcase that'll securely fit around the handle. ($250, Monos)

Meet the chameleon of slingbacks. Donald Pliner’s Song heels are made of smooth nappa leather that looks chic for both day and night activities. Yes, we mean work and then right to happy hour. The touch of the snake print on the sole is an eye-catching detail that still feels understated. ($228, Donald Pliner)

Free your giftee of unwanted blisters with a pair of memory foam-padded mules. The heeled shoe has a hidden raised interior to support your toe from sliding, and a rubber sole for added traction. ($198, Donald Pliner)

Upgrade their regular huggies to a sculptural set that'll add a bit of personality to their tailored attire. Mejuri’s Dôme Figure Huggies are curved at the bottom for a soft appearance. Although at first glance they look heavy, they’re crafted out of a lightweight metal that won't weigh down ears. ($48+, Mejuri)

The quiet luxury trend extends to home decor too, and this clean-cut candle will fit right in with your giftee’s cozy home. Nette’s Fete Candle is packaged in an all-white case with only a description of the scent and a simple logo on the exterior. Visitors will love the lush aroma of frozen cranberries, gingerbread, and fir balsam. ($82, Sephora)

Sorry, we’re not gifting ugly Christmas sweaters this year. Rather than a bright red knit with tinsel, lights, or images of the Grinch, we’re gifting this soft cotton crewneck in a cool, relaxed fit. The cozy waffle-knit texture is a total classic. ($168, Buck Mason)

(Gently) nudge your friend to get rid of that worn-out black belt and introduce them to Aritzia's (literally) Legendary Solid Brass Leather Belt. The western-inspired belt consists of a cross-hatched texture and oversized brass buckle. This classic piece sells out quickly, so don’t dawdle and get to it. ($78, Aritzia)
