In late 2024, I heard some chatter about the rise of loud luxury. Fashion insiders claimed that quiet luxury was out in favor of much louder statement styles defined by striking colors, eye-catching patterns, and in-your-face logos. In 2025, loud luxury isn’t quieting down—and the many maximal accessories on the Spring 2025 runways serve as visual evidence.
At Gucci, Sabato De Sarno showcased a croc-embossed handbag drenched in a viral shade of cherry red. On Chanel’s catwalk, rich-looking outfits were enhanced with earrings, necklaces, and bracelets emblazoned with the brand’s “double C” logo. Meanwhile, Bottega Veneta revealed a pair of sculptural kitten heels that made jaws drop. Other attention-grabbing extras—like unconventional belts, printed headscarves, broad-brimmed sun hats, and supersized sunglasses—also permeated top-tier collections.
According to the widely followed Instagram account Data, But Make it Fashion, brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Versace have spiked in popularity by over 40 percent, signaling a high demand for designer labels that champion a loud luxury aesthetic. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, and Taylor Swift have embraced the lavish trend, drenching themselves in leopard-printtote bags and high-octane timepieces that cost more than a mortgage.
Although the quieter side of luxury won’t go extinct—minimalist capsule wardrobe staples will always have an enduring appeal—there’s something to say about pieces that command attention and encourage unapologetic personal style.

On the other hand, Ralph Lauren took its collection to a whole new level by co-singing the double-belt trend.

This season, sunglasses with itsy-bitsy frames weren’t on the menu. Instead, designers served up shades crafted with oversized silhouettes.
