13 Quiet Luxury Brands Like Eileen Fisher–but Cheaper

Quince

With its collection of chic, simple, and stylish pieces, Quince is perhaps this generation’s Eileen Fisher. The brand is known for creating high-quality pieces out of more expensive fabrics (think: linen and cashmere) for more affordable price points. Whether you’re looking for a breezy linen set, want a sophisticated cashmere crewneck, or need a swimsuit refresh, the brand has it all. Be sure to check out our group review of the brand to see which pieces we tried on and recommend.

Everlane

At the forefront of our Eileen Fisher-like brands, Everlane comes first. I specifically chose Everlane as Eileen Fisher’s contemporary alternative because the clean, minimalist designs are similar—but without the price tag. You can achieve the “quiet luxury” look for a lot less, without sacrificing on quality. This sustainable brand is all about curating essentials with a modern and timeless touch — and you’ll want to wear every piece over and over again. We have several pieces from the brand and are particularly obsessed with its collection of denim pieces (including jeans and skirts), flowy dresses, and leather shoes. Everlane is probably *best* known for its denim, but it also wins with great T-shirts, sweaters, dresses, and bags.

The Mariner Tee

$68 Buy Now at Everlane

Oversized, elegant tees and Everlane go together like peanut butter and jelly. They’ve perfected the art of the oversized tee, especially the oversized striped tee. Pair it with a pair of jeans and flats, and you’ve got a perennial outfit that’s confidence-boosting and easy-peasy. Most of Everlane’s inventory is constructed from high-quality cotton, including this top. It’s also made with heavier fabric, so it’s longer-lasting and washer and dryer-friendly.

Sizes: XXS-XXL
Colorways: 3

Popover Mini Shirtdress

The Popover Mini Shirtdress is another great example of the kinds of elevated essentials you can find at Everlane. It’s constructed from organic cotton, so it has some nice structure.

Reformation

From Jennifer Lopez to every woman you’ve ever sat next to at a wedding, everyone seems to be wearing Reformation these days. The brand gained initial popularity for its dresses and has since expanded into all facets of apparel, shoes, and, most recently, handbags. The brand captures a balance between structured basics and ultra-feminine dresses and can therefore work for a variety of fashion aesthetics. Reformation also publishes its own quarterly sustainability report, which details environmental efforts related to material, production, factories, and more.

Walmart

Walmart is another retailer with a vast marketplace-style collection. Because of that, you might need to hunt for brands like Eileen Fisher, but they’re there (and we found a couple of chic options below). Shopping at Walmart typically involves finding the best deals on clothing, accessories, and shoes—and shopping for Eileen Fisher-inspired pieces is no different.

MLDRA Wide-Leg Linen Pants

$14 Buy Now at Walmart

Personally, I love Walmart’s vast selection of affordable linen and vacation-y pants and dresses I can bring with me on vacation and not feel bad when I inevitably smear sunscreen on them. Yet! Pieces like this MLDRA pant look elegant and expensive, and it’s easy to pair with a top or bikini. Throw on some slides or sneakers, and you’re golden.

Gap

Gap is relevant again, and it’s great timing for our wallets (hi, inflation). The basics brand has been resuscitated by creative director Zac Posen, and is now a true hub for effortless, simple, and high-end looking pieces. It’s also just cool again? Whether it’s Parker Posey’s ad, Posen simply just listened to shoppers, it’s undeniable Gap feels on-trend again—without losing its original brand identity (quality basics at accessible prices). I recently did a Gap shopping haul, and can confirm just how good the current inventory is. Plus, you can almost always find what you want on sale. Gap is always running some kind of discount or sales event (bless).

Madewell

Madewell is one of our favorite places to shop for everyday items for elevated casual looks. From the brand’s incredibly comfy—and well-fitting—jeans to its line of linen separates, you can find a variety of high-quality styles at fair prices. In addition to apparel, Madewell also carries a collection of stunning leather goods that are made to last.

Flared Wide-Leg Crop Jeans

On Sale 53% off

$70 Buy Now at Madewell

Whenever I need a good pair of jeans I can count on for fit, design, and, well, vibe, I go to Madewell. The brand arguably makes some of the best mid-range jeans on the market, and they always have the trendiest styles, including the crop jean, which is perfect for spring. I also just love this style of jeans because it’s got a Gwyneth Paltrow-like aesthetic, is ultra flattering for all body types, and allows you to better show off your footwear. Details like the frayed hems and whiskering give it a slightly vintage look and feel, too.

Sizes: 23-33
Colorways: 4

The Greta Ballet Flat

$98 Buy Now at Nordstrom

AYR

AYR (All Year Round) is one of my all-time favorite, elevated basics brands that excel in quite literally everything they put out. I especially love their button-down shirts and jeans, but you cannot go wrong with any AYR apparel. Like Eileen Fisher, AYR is minimalist, clean, and functional, and feels very “quiet luxury.” Emphasis on the luxury—AYR is a bit pricey, but honestly well worth the investment if you can swing it (your AYR pieces will last forever).

AYR, founded in NYC, is a “small batch” brand that produces less waste. Each piece you buy is meant to feel thoughtful. “Longevity is the ultimate luxury,” is in AYR’s brand description, and that may as well be their motto.

The Deep End Shirt

$165 Buy Nown at AYR

As a fellow Word Person, one of my favorite things about AYR is their descriptions. It’s also maddening, because as an editor, it feels hard to top. For example, here’s how The Deep End shirt is described: “This shirt was a banker on Wall Street until she cashed out and started a new career as a florist on Nantucket. Spends her days lounging on weather-worn furniture, drinking expensive wine and smelling like fresh peonies.”

It comes in four colorways (I love the classic blue the best!), and is made from 100% cotton. I had a version of this striped shirt that is no longer on the website, but this comes close. AYR shirts tend to run loose, so I would order in your size (or size down if you prefer a tighter fit). I wear my AYR button-up when I want to look smart and put-together yet not worry too much about fit, since it really does look good with just about everything in my closet.

Sizes: XS-XL
Colorways: 4

Secret Sauce Jeans

$255 Buy Now at AYR

A former boss told me I needed to try AYR jeans, giving me near-secret intel that they have some of the most flattering, perfectly-fitting jeans on the market. And it’s true—for me at least! I have three pairs of AYR jeans, and these are currently sitting in my cart. This loose, straight leg fit is super on-trend, makes your butt look good, and comes in seven gorgeous denim washes.

Sizes: 24-34
Colorways: 7

J.Crew

J.Crew is an obvious one, if you haven’t already thought of it. Queen of catalog fashion in the ’90s and early 2000s, the family-run brand was a staple in every prep and yuppie’s wardrobe in the U.S. When Jenna Lyons became Creative Director in 2010, she reimagined preppy fashion, and J.Crew kind of became its own category in the fashion industry, marrying poppy colors and punky designs with more traditional pieces. J.Crew’s popularity has ebbed and flowed throughout the years (RIP bubble necklace), but it’s safe to say it’s back on our radar, with excellent cashmeres, blouses, accessories, and more.

Cashmere Shrunken T-Shirt

$128 Buy Now at J.Crew

With the sometimes confusing weather between winter and spring, you might want a more transitional option, like this sweater tee. It’ll still keep you toasty under a jacket, but lets your limbs air out a bit once you get inside.

Sizes: 3XS-3XL
Colorways: 8

Scarf Coat

On Sale 41% off

$204 Buy Now at J.Crew

A trendy scarf coat is totally something you’d find at Eileen Fisher—and also at J.Crew! This garment screams quiet luxury or drinks in the West Village. Yes, I know your eyes might be popping out at the price tag, but this is an investment piece that you’ll wear for years to come!

Sizes: XXS-3XL

Cuyana

Cuyana is a female-founded and led company that operates on a “fewer, better” mantra. The brand’s pieces boast an elegant simplicity that is easy to style together or with other pieces in your wardrobe. If you’re looking to build a minimalist wardrobe with neutral tones, few patterns, and elevated structure, Cuyana is a great place to start. The brand produces pieces in small quantities to reduce unsold merchandise and waste, and is currently creating products with materials that are 99% sustainably certified.

Buck Mason knits all of their own fabrics to ensure that the quality will last season after season.
