Okay, so you know the ‘Quiet Luxury’ thing. 

It is in. 

It is out. 

It is loved. 

It is hated. 

Boring. 

Dull. 

‘If you know, you know.’ 

I do not know what the big deal is. 

The simple way I look at it? 

Nice clothes with no logo. 

Does it not come down to that? 

It gets a bad rap. 

I think the whole ‘Logo thing’ is interesting. 

I am willing to bet that if you look at your wardrobe, you run the gambit. 

A favourite shirt with no logo. 

A great pair of unnamed jeans. 

A pair of shorts with the designer’s tiny name one shade off the colour of the shorts. 

A Polo with a small Crocodile. 

A pair of socks with four white bars. 

A pair of shoes with a ‘swoosh.’ 

A jacket with the logo sewn into the inside lining. 

In one way, the whole logo thing is hard to escape, but in another, it is simple. 

A white T-shirt. 

A black pair of shorts with the label inside. 

A ball cap with only the first letter of the company. 

Other times, you don’t need or want the escape from a logo. 

You do not mind the logo. 

It is inconspicuous. 

It is small and written across the back pocket. 

A three colour detail is sewn into the sleeve. 

One different coloured button on the placket. 

Other times, it is at your threshold. 

A first name is written on the front of a T-shirt. 

I don’t have any more examples than that one. 

That is my threshold. 

In fact, haha, I do not wear it outside.  

It is my ‘I am staying inside tonight, T-shirt.’ 

There are a few designers out there. 

I know you know them. 

I do not have to say who they are. 

They create nice ‘stuff.’ 

But then they put their name in a huge font. 

The opposite of ‘quiet luxury.’ 

IT SCREAMS 

It’s loud. 

It wrecks a piece of clothing that could have been nice. 

I don’t get it. 

Is there not a middle ground? 

I think there is. 

I named it ‘Audible Style.’ 

It is there. 

Not in your face. 

But it is there, somewhere. 

I think most of us wear ‘Audible Style.’ 

A happy balance between the two. 

Yeah, I am wearing ‘insert designer name here.’ 

But you have to look for it. 

You may find it on what I am wearing today. 

You will see it on what I am wearing tomorrow. 

And the next day? 

Nowhere to be seen. 

‘Audible Style’

‘Wear it OUT’
