You know the wealthy classy look of understated expensive non branded clothes?

The ladies of Chelsea didn’t get the message. Just spent the day round Kensington and Chelsea, lots of ladies of all ages out and about. I assume they were relatively local as seemed to be meeting with friends in groups. Beautifully dressed, there were trainers galore but very few plain white ones. Still some vegas but plenty of golden goose and Gucci. One women in some wonderful shocking pink Gucci shoes and lots of general Gucci footwear, Women were wearing expensive beautiful casual outfits in shades of beige and cream. Cream cropped wide jeans. ,cream cotton jumpers. White T-shirts and one beautiful cream vashem ere wrap. But the mumsnet message that handbag branding needs to be discreet seems to have passed the ladies of Chelsea by. I would say that 90% of bags were Dior, YSL and Chanel worn by anyone from age about 18 -80 years old. Accessorised with a doodle, poodle or shihtzu of some form. Not a lab or working dog to be seen. So much for subtle and understated, May be true but not when it comes to bag or shoes

I thought Chelski was to do with the football club when it was Russian owned?

@Newnanit That’s how it started I think, with the football. There was a Tatler article 20-odd years ago that coined the term and it was observing the increased presence of Europeans in English public schools and social life. It specifically commented on the need for English women of the moth-eaten cashmere type to raise their game and dress and present themselves better. I grew up in middle-class SW11 and do remember dressing “up” to mooch on the King’s Road.

I have only just discovered this section, I thought it was all friendly help and advice. I may never return to AIBU.
