How to Enhance Your Image With True Silent Luxury
Attention to detail is key to true silent luxury. Bespoke pieces and immaculately tailored suits are central to Sartocchi's many collections. We offer options for every occasion, from travel to knitwear, designed to meet each client's specific needs.
You don't need to be an expert in fashion trends and elite tailoring to look good. At Sartocchi, we do all the hard work for you.
Whether you're looking for perfectly curated ensembles or more unique, personalized pieces to set the tone for your wardrobe, we have the experience and knowledge to put you on the path to subtle greatness.
Transform Your Wardrobe
Silent luxury is not acquired in an afternoon. Rather, it evolves to fit the individual. Our private fittings and bespoke tailoring are vital to creating a wardrobe that fits you like a second skin.
Custom menswear design is an art made to last a lifetime with proper care and consideration from the wearer.
That said, there are several key things anyone can look for to discern fine tailoring. Maybe you can't immediately identify a bespoke jacket at a glance, but that doesn't mean you can't recognize quality when you see it.
How to Determine Quality in a Custom Suit
How much do you know about lapels? Perhaps not much, but they are an integral part of suit construction and an obvious marker of quality to anyone in the know.
As the focal point of a suit, the lapel scale in proportion to the rest of the jacket is a large factor in determining the quality of the design.
Also of interest is the shoulder construction of a suit jacket. There are many options, based on:
- Personal preference
- Body shape
- Type of suit jacket
This is yet another reason why it's ideal to meet with a tailor in person, such as during Sartocchi's private fittings, in order to determine the best shape of the shoulder for you.
If ever in doubt, remember one thing: proportions. Each piece of a suit should look proportionate to the rest, and in a quality suit, much care will be taken to ensure the perfect dimension of every single inch.
Acting the Part
Many people say dress to impress, but we prefer the term executive presence dressing. You may or may not actually be an executive in a company, but a quality suit can give you the presence of a well-respected corporate executive, without all the pomp and frill of logos and brands.
Whether or not you actually have authority over those around you, the important thing is the appearance of it. Confidence and a well-tailored ensemble will easily lend a sense of subtle authority that will be undeniable to those around you.
Of course, there is more to these aspects than we can go into here, but our tailors at Sartocchi can help you with any questions. Our job is to create the best pieces that suit you, and we will work with you on every decision from fabric choice to overall suit design to make you look like your best self.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Silent Luxury Mean?
Silent luxury is a fashion movement centered on high-quality custom clothing (and other luxury items) without flaunting logos or other flamboyant markers of wealth.
According to Psychology & Marketing, silent luxury is the lack of a desire for increased social status-or rather, it is an expression of confidence. Flaunting logos is unnecessary for the man who is self-assured; the goal of silent luxury is creating a lifestyle and personal brand that reflects your own inner elegance.
What Brands Are Silent Luxury?
The point of silent luxury is not to focus on brands but rather to pay more attention to quality. Elegance and luxury are the goals. To the trained eye, it is evident in every bespoke jacket, every custom-tailored suit, and every man who walks with confidence and pride in his wardrobe and his own achievements.
Why give the credit to the logo when your own innate elegance is the real showstopper?
Is Silent Luxury Just for the Rich?
Absolutely not. Silent luxury is not about exclusion; it is about investment. Elle magazine called it "new-age minimalism," focusing on "investment pieces and thoughtful shopping."
Investing in your wardrobe is also investing in yourself. While you may not be able or willing to overhaul your entire style, it's entirely manageable to incorporate timeless articles that will never go out of style.
Classic colors, timeless cuts, high-quality fabrics, and, in our opinion, Italian judgment are the cornerstones of silent luxury.
It's about more than just clothing. Meredith Rosenberg wrote in an article for HGTV about how to include quiet luxury interior design in your home.
Basic elements of this include:
- soft colors
- earth tones
- timeless decor
- high-quality and sustainable materials
- bespoke furniture
Overall, it is a pursuit of calm minimalism and serenity that speaks to the elegant man, not a logo or price tag. Every piece should be chosen with precision and deliberation, with consideration for the atmosphere of your home.
