Stylists share 7 items the rich and famous are actually wearing right now

Kim Appelt, a personal and celebrity stylist, told BI that tailored, relaxed blazers are easy to throw on and wear effortlessly.

"This is the ultimate 'power casual' piece, delivering sophistication without being too formal," she said. "They work with everything from jeans to silk slip skirts, creating an understated, polished look that feels effortless."

Some popular styles are those from brands like The Row or Celine that have clean lines for a sharp, precise look.

Desiree Miranda, a New York City stylist, a personal shopper, and the founder of Miranda New York, said many people opt for leather and suede pieces to elevate their looks.

"These pieces give off a feeling of prestige and status while also offering timeless style," she said. "When you find the perfect piece, whether it be a coat, pants, or a jacket, they will mold to your body over time, providing a unique and comfortable fit."

Leather shoes are versatile and go with both tailored and casual looks, making them ideal for everyday wear, the office, and more formal occasions.

"Timeless loafers, often penny styles from Hermès or Chanel, and sleek ankle-high leather boots are popular," Appelt told BI. "The quality leather softens beautifully over time, and because they never go out of style, they're the perfect fusion of comfort and class."

Lindsey Bernay, a leading fashion expert, a stylist, and the author of "You Can't Leave the House Naked," told BI that monochromatic looks are luxe.

"Monochromatic looks signal luxury through subtlety," she said. "Wearing one color head to toe, especially in neutral tones, creates a sleek, sophisticated look that feels both fresh and timeless."

The stylist emphasized the use of clean lines and high-quality fabrics for an extra bit of posh elegance.

Appelt told BI that handbags with minimal branding, like the Hermès Picotin and the Bottega Veneta pouch, are in demand.

"The understated look is the new status symbol," she said. "This shift toward subtlety shows a confidence in one's style without needing to prove anything — it's the ultimate 'if you know, you know' vibe."

Appelt said high-quality cashmere sweaters, cardigans, and turtlenecks in neutral tones are popular among rich clientele — especially when they're from brands like Loro Piana or Brunello Cucinelli.

"Cashmere lasts and gets softer over time, making it a true investment," she said.

The celebrity stylist said the knitwear is a good example of the influx of "quiet luxury" in the fashion world. They're well made and high quality while still being comfortable and low-key.

Accessories can be just as important as clothing in high-end fashion, and Appelt said bespoke jewelry is in.

The trend can include customized pieces, like a gold signet ring, and vintage fare, like heirloom-quality earrings.

"There's a lean toward pieces that tell a story or have sentimental value rather than flashy logos," the stylist said. "Custom jewelry feels intimate and luxurious, especially in an age when personal expression is key."
