The Rise of Quiet Luxury 

 

In the past, fashion trends were all about being bold. Big logos, flashy colors, and designer brands were everywhere. If someone wore a huge Gucci logo or a bright Balenciaga hoodie, it was a clear sign: “I spent money.” But recently, something has changed. Now, quiet luxury is taking over. 

 

Quiet luxury is all about wearing high-quality clothes without showing off. The colors are neutral, the cuts are clean, and there are no big logos. It’s expensive—but it doesn’t look loud. Brands like The Row, Loro Piana, Lemaire, and Totême became popular for this style. Even on TikTok, people are calling it the “old money” look—rich, but understated. 

 

So why is this trend growing? One reason might be that people are tired of fast fashion and trends that change too quickly. Quiet luxury feels timeless. When someone wears it, they don’t look like they’re trying too hard. They just look confident and calm, like they don’t need to prove anything. It’s a kind of “if you know, you know” style. Subtle, but powerful. 

 

Also, after the pandemic, comfort became more important. Quiet luxury pieces are usually well-made with soft, high-quality fabrics. They’re comfortable but still elegant. It’s not just about how you look—it’s how the clothes feel. 

 

This trend also changes how people shop. Instead of buying ten cheap shirts, someone might save up for one nice cashmere sweater that lasts for years. It’s slower, more thoughtful fashion. Quiet luxury isn’t about being boring. It’s about confidence without noise. It’s about choosing quality over quantity, and showing that style doesn’t always have to shout to be seen.

李佳霓   En glish Writin g I   April 2 3 , 2025   3 2 0 words   The Effects of Social Media on Teenagers     In today’s digital world, social media has become an essential part of teenagers’ daily lives. While it offers ways to connect with others, the overuse of social media can be harmful to teenagers. Here are some of the causes and effects of using social media.   One of the main causes is excessive screen time. Many teenagers spend hours scrolling through their feeds every day. This not only leads to a loss of connection with reality, including family and friends, but also causes a lack of sleep, as they stay immersed in the digital world even during midnight hours. Another issue is cyberbullying. Since social media is a public platform, everything you say or do becomes part of your digital footprint. There is a high possibility of receiving harassment, whether from someone you know or from a complete stranger . In severe cases, even a single onlin...

A Definition of Fear (1st draft)

李佳霓   En glish Writing 1   March 16, 2025   A Definition of Fear     According to the Cambridge Dictionary, fear is "an unpleasant emotion or thought that you have when you are frightened or worried by something dangerous, painful, or bad that is happening or might happen." Fear helps keep people safe by making them careful. But fear is not always based on real danger. Sometimes, people are afraid of things that will not actually harm them. There are two main types of fear: rational and irrational. Rational fear is a normal reaction to real danger, like facing a wild animal or being in a fire. It helps people avoid harm. Irrational fear happens when someone is scared of something that is not truly dangerous, like a small insect or speaking in public. These fears can cause stress and stop people from doing things they want or need to do.   Fear affects both the mind and body. When someone is scared, their heart beats faster, their breathing speeds up, and th...

Many young people often ask, “What should I do with my life ?” or “How can I find something meaningful ?” A recent speech I listened to helped me think more clearly about these questions and gave me useful advice about how to find my path.   One important idea from the speech was that finding our “calling” ta kes time. It doesn’t happen all at once. We need to learn more about the world aroun d us and also understand ourselves. The speaker shared a simple method: “Know the world, know yourself, and the n connect the two. ” This made me realize that trying different things is okay. I t’s part of discovering what we enjoy and what we’re good at.   The speaker also talked about the importance of being curious and continuing to learn. In the future, ...
