Perhaps even Sports Luxe- like a cashmere bandana! </p> <p>I like all of those concepts as ways to be a bit more distinctive, fun, and everyday- luxe. Not getting too hung up on labels, but looking out for those pieces that fit in the wardrobe/ lifestyle you have, including special occasions and aspirational occasions, but not completely “ imaginary “, and make the type of statement that’s right for you. </p> <p> I liked the Link Love with Trinny shopping dept store because it is a way I sometimes browse my local ( much less varied/ upscale ) department stores &amp; boutiques to see if there’s something “ different but me”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360696 Tue, 21 May 2024 02:55:38 +0000 Carol 2360696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dangly earrings, or it could be a pearl set.&nbsp; Or a collection of turquoise jewelry. Jewelry in general.</p> <p>One expensive pair of shoes for all the time, like the people who like Doc Martens.&nbsp; Or Adidas slides.

The jeans are debatable because they are (somewhat) voluminous but what speaks is the shape. The skirt, again, is architectural. I'd venture to say that my new anorak is another example!&nbsp;</p> <p>Ditto to textured lighter coloured items as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Vintage items can also make a statement. My leather trench is one example.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thank you for asking this because the examples everyone has given offer food for thought and the question itself invites each of us to think about our own closets in these terms.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360586 Sun, 19 May 2024 22:32:58 +0000 Angie 2360586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone is on the right track, <b>The Cat :)</b></p> <p><b><br /> </b></p> <p><b></b>I'd put my white shoes, and some of my white bottoms into this category.

It is interesting how different statement pieces can be, dependant on individual styles and opinions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360555 Sun, 19 May 2024 00:14:48 +0000 Irina 2360555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b>, yes! Bao Bao bags would be it, too. I finally got myself a much needed backpack!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360550 Sun, 19 May 2024 00:01:26 +0000 Janet 2360550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to think of a quieter statement piece as something in a solid neutral color but in a unique shape or cut that isn’t overly dramatic.</p> <p>Examples for me would be these pants — neutral but a slightly unusual cut, and my grey Bao Bao backpack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360547 Sat, 18 May 2024 23:20:50 +0000 JAileen 2360547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this Eileen Fisher dress last year. &nbsp;It’s a tiny check print of blue and black. &nbsp;I think it’s a quiet statement. &nbsp;Yes, it looks like a big bag on me, but I like this museum docent style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360543 Sat, 18 May 2024 21:44:56 +0000 Irina 2360543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Levi’s two tone jeans (they fit wider on me) and Marimekko/Uniqlo merino turtleneck might fit the description.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360542 Sat, 18 May 2024 20:14:56 +0000 kkards 2360542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, most of my footwear actually fits that criteria </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360540 Sat, 18 May 2024 20:07:43 +0000 cat2 2360540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about interesting tone on tone fabrics like white embroidery or eyelet on a white piece? The color isn’t bright, there is nothing shiny, and the shapes don’t have to be quirky for the pieces to really stand out. Or a great silk blouse in a low key color like ivory or ecru? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360539 Sat, 18 May 2024 19:03:38 +0000 Carla 2360539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only item in my closet that fits that description would be the sandals pictured below. &nbsp;They are just a black sandal - but then they are just&nbsp;<i>so&nbsp;</i>beautiful… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360538 Sat, 18 May 2024 18:55:34 +0000 ChristelJ 2360538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think unique jewelry could count. It doesn't have to be big or particularly shiny. I would include my silver and malachite earrings, for example, because they are a bit unusual in shape and express my personality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360530 Sat, 18 May 2024 16:07:39 +0000 MsMary 2360530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may be off-base, but I feel like my fabulous navy blue cashmere bandana is a statement piece because it just ups the ante of any outfit I put it with. I bought mine at Harrod's in London and it's 100% cashmere, but here's a similar designer piece from Saint Laurent. Oh! And here's a fun red one!&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://snapdragondesigns.ca/products/cashmere-bandana?variant=40581468422186">https://snapdragondesigns.ca/p.....1468422186</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-quiet-statement-pieces---any-suggestions#post-2360529 Sat, 18 May 2024 15:44:41 +0000 The Cat 2360529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In her recent post regarding statement pieces Angie said that they are<br /> "not necessarily big, bright, shiny, or voluminous". I would like to see, or read about, examples of such more "quiet" statement pieces. Do you have any suggestions? </p>
