What Is A "Quiet Luxury Era," and How Do We Exit One?

Arianna Huffington can cram these idiotic listicles up her hairy Greek poon, but the headline grabbed me with this one.

Grandmama always said the concepts of "luxury" and "budget" were mortal enemies who never truly existed in the same place at the same time.

Anything worth buying here?

Ariana hasn't been at HuffPost since 2016, she has her own bullshit "well-being" brand now.

Never heard of quiet luxury before, but it's probably just marketing speak for affordable stuff that performs as intended and doesn't look like shit. Which I'm all for obviously, as long as it's also durable. Because if it isn't, you're not only losing money in the long run, it's terrible for the environment as well.

I know Arianna and she isn't a great reader of the zeitgeist. The trend "quiet luxury" was in 2023-24.

not to mention she has nothing to do with huff post, as stated. OP, get out in the world.

I looked through the list. It's all cheap Chinese-made bullshit.

Didn't Ariana write a book about passing out and falling onto her own coffee table?

Tracey Ullman did a great impression of her, basically as Eva Gabor from Green Acres.
