Quiet Luxury Outfit Ideas

Embody sophistication on grad day with our selection of premium jewellery pieces that scream quiet luxury. The quiet luxury trend is the epitome of elegance, making the ultimate choice to channel in your graduation day snaps.

Take inspiration from Sofia Richie and her preppy look, Em Rata's matching suit set or Matilda Djerf's elegant evening outfit — perfect for wearing under your cap and gown on grad day. Complement your quiet luxury-inspired look with diamond studded pieces from our cubic zirconia collection, perfect for helping you feel like a boss while receiving your hard-earned diploma. 

Personalise your look with our selection of diamond wristwear, crystal drop earrings and diamante stud earrings here for more. 

Minimalist Outfit Ideas  

For an understated look, keep things simple with a minimalist or monochromatic outfit. Pared back outfits can be a great way to cultivate timelessness. Take a leaf out of Jennifer Lawrence or Zendaya's book with a muted outfit, paired with some signature gold touches. Or, opt for an all-white, minimalist outfit like Kim Kardashian.

Complete your grad day outfit with our selection of dainty, genuine gold jewellery pieces. Pick out a pair of signature gold-plated stud earrings, pendant necklaces, chain bracelets and more. For a sentimental touch, gravitate towards jewellery adorned with cubic zirconia crystals and freshwater pearls for a refined finish.  

 

Academia Aesthetic 

For something a bit more brooding, channel your inner scholar with the dark academia aesthetic. The dark academia trend has been styled by celebrity icons like Taylor Swift, Blake Lively and Hailey Beiber — need we say more? The trend draws on preppy silhouettes with a muted colour palette — perfect for honouring your days of study and hard work. 

The dark academia trend is best paired with sophisticated finishing touches, including a fashion-forward watch, layered chains, or autumn-coloured accessories. Explore our range of trending autumn accessories here and channel your inner graduate!  

 

 Less Is More

Sometimes, less is more! When it comes to key occasions and milestones, keeping things refined can be more impactful. For a timeless touch to your graduation outfit, take inspiration from celebs like Zendaya and Kendall Jenner with some dainty silver styles. 

Sterling silver jewellery isn't just a go-to for special occasions, it can also lifetime in your collection! Adorn your grad day outfit with some minimalist, dainty pieces from our sterling silver collection. Styles from our sterling collection are crafted from genuine, 925 sterling silver — making the perfect additions to your everyday jewellery stack. For graduation, style a pair of sterling silver hoops, a set of silver stacking rings or a dainty pendant necklace for a signature finish.
