Exuberance and in-your-face luxury might have their place, but it's time for quiet elegance to take the main stage now and again. Quiet elegance is a fashion movement about subtle glamour and sophistication. Instead of wearing large brand logos and dazzling, eye-catching crystals, quiet elegance is softer and understated - think high-quality yet unassuming materials like silk and satin.
At its core, quiet elegance is about looking chic and put-together without too much effort. It's the opposite of ostentatious; it is tasteful and refined and shows that you don't need to deck yourself out with too many accessories.
You might not think that quiet elegance and Judith Leiber go hand in hand. While many Judith Leiber bags are unique and playful, there are handbags in the selection that are more sophisticated and refined. If you want to get on board with the quiet elegance/luxury trend, here are the Judith Leiber bags that will help you do just that.
For a chic evening clutch, the Judith Leiber Skylar in Satin Black is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. This purse is pure black with a crystal frame and a beautiful ornament closure. It's beautifully understated – its jet-black satin appearance is a signal of absolute elegance. The luxury touches are still effortlessly present, with its silver chain and crystal-adorned closure. You can imagine the likes of Grace Kelly clutching onto this during an evening party!
Another stunning purse that radiates quiet elegance is the Gemma Satin Navy purse. The purse comes in a deep midnight-blue shade made entirely of the finest satin. Adding to that is the jeweled chain, which gives hints of sparkle to an otherwise understated yet beautiful purse. There's no denying this purse shows absolute elegance and luxury, but it does so without being too embellished or in-your-face. It's the type of handbag you could clutch onto at any evening event to discreetly show off your refined taste.
For something interesting yet still staying in the lane of quiet elegance, you have the Pearly Slim Slide by Judith Leiber. The exterior is completely black and covered in pearl beads, giving it a uniquely textured appearance while staying sophisticated and chic. The sleek design is fresh and will perfectly match any evening outfit – its versatility makes it a must-have for anyone's wardrobe!
Another black purse that displays quiet elegance is the Crocodile Flat Envelope by Judith Leiber. This purse has the texture of crocodile skin – a symbol of wealth that goes back many years. However, it doesn't look too overstated like some animal-skin purses can. It's not a loud leopard print; it boasts a soft and subtle texture that shows off wealth and sophistication. The envelope style is particularly stylish, and the black shade will work perfectly with any fully-black chic look. If you're tired of clutching onto it, the gold chain makes it a shoulder bag and adds a touch of shine to the accessory.
The Satin Mini Rounded Rectangle Black by Judith Leiber is an adorable black clutch purse that sits perfectly in your hand. This chic bag comes in a luxuriously black satin material and is completed with a brass handle and golden interior. The result is something truly beautiful – it's luxury incarnate without being too powerful. You can imagine gently holding onto this quiet clutch at a formal gathering; the bag discreetly shows your sophisticated side without standing out too much. Although, the cabochon crystals adorned on the brass handle may capture some people's attention!
You might not want one of the most sparkling Judith Leiber purses when aiming for quiet luxury, but that doesn't mean you can't have a small amount of sparkle in your outfit. Try the Classic Slim Rectangle Navy Clutch. This rectangular, deep-blue purse comes with tiny crystals that make the purse shine. It's the kind of sparkle that you'll notice when it catches the light, while the dark blue hue keeps it elegant and sophisticated. If you want a sparkling purse that still maintains an element of quiet luxury, this is the one to choose!
Any of these Judith Leiber bags will give you a quietly sophisticated look that will signal your understated elegance. Of course, it's not all about the handbag – for a quietly elegant look to be right, you need to think about the entire outfit. Here are some of our tips for getting it right.
