Quiet Luxury & ‘Old-Money’ Style: How to Dress Like You’ve Always Had It Together
You’ve probably noticed it. Fewer shouty logos. Less fly by night trends. And in their place? Crisp fabrics, tailored cuts, an air of outfits that feel quietly expensive, without straining too hard.
There’s a fresh wave of country fashion coming though this summer, and it’s less about making a statement and more about looking like you've always known how to dress. It’s refined. Relaxed. And it meshes with the way we live out here.
This Is Not Just a Trend- It’s a Way of Dressing
Forget the flashy stuff. This is a style of natural-leaning fabrics, high quality layers, and timeless colours like olive greens, khakis, gentle blues and creams. It’s about being put-together and practical at the same time. Smart, without being showy.
At Cheshire Country Store, we’ve always been a fan of this kind of fashion. Good-quality boots, well-cut dresses, pieces that work hard without screaming for attention.
The Pieces That Do It Well
Start with something simple, a cotton or linen dress that moves with you. The kind of thing you can throw on in the morning, wear to a lunch in the garden, and still feel great popping into the shops later on.
Our Schoffel Daisy Linen Dress Oat is one we’d highly recommend. You could wear it for an event, work or even a casual work with friends. It’s a classic, versatile piece.
You can make this look what you want and an easy step to move from day to night is the shoes. Pair the Schoffel dress with a simple Mule or a classic trainer by Holland Cooper. Flip your outfit with a classy heel or wedge for the transformation.
How to Pull It Together
Stick to neutrals, creams with camel, olive with navy, light grey with off-white. It’s classic for a reason.
Accessories should blend in, not dominate. Think tan leather crossbodies, delicate gold studs, or a straw sunhat that looks like you’ve had it for years.
Fit matters more than trend. Buy pieces that feel right, not just new.
Country Style, Just Done Better
What’s lovely about this way of dressing is how unfussy it feels. You’re not dressing up for anyone else, you’re dressing for comfort, for quality, and because it makes getting ready feel effortless.
