Fashion
Glossary.

Clear, specific definitions of the style terms that matter in fashion discovery — from quiet luxury to taste profiling.

Capsule WardrobeA capsule wardrobe is a compact collection of versatile, high-quality garments and accessories that can be combined in multiple ways to cover the majority of dressing occasions.
Demi-Fine JewelryDemi-fine jewelry occupies the market segment between costume jewelry and fine jewelry: it uses real gold vermeil, gold-fill, or sterling silver rather than base metals, but without the high-carat gold or precious gemstones of traditional fine jewelry.
Minimalist StyleMinimalist style is an aesthetic defined by restraint: clean lines, neutral or monochromatic colour palettes, quality fabrics, and the deliberate absence of decoration or excess.
Personal AestheticA personal aesthetic is the coherent visual identity that runs through an individual's choices in clothing, accessories, and objects — a recognisable style that is consistent across contexts even when specific items vary.
Quiet LuxuryQuiet luxury is a fashion aesthetic defined by understated quality: expensive materials, precise tailoring, and deliberately minimal branding — communicating wealth through craft and restraint rather than logos or conspicuous design.
Statement PieceA statement piece is a single garment or accessory designed to be the visual focal point of an outfit — distinguished by scale, colour, texture, or silhouette in a way that commands attention.
Taste ProfileA taste profile is a computational model of an individual's visual preferences, derived from their interactions with fashion items and used to generate personalised recommendations.
