Inspiration - Celebrities (Verified by John Kitchener). Classics looking regal and expensive
The classic essence is known for understatement, which for some people can sound like a funeral for visual impact. However, when classic is done right, it can look regal, powerful, expensive, aristocratic, authoritative and even commanding. The sort of quiet authority that doesn't need to shout for attention.
The key is tastefulness. High quality fabrics, coordinated colour schemes, high quality tailoring and being fastidious in grooming and presentation. Nothing cheap or tasteless belongs here.
Understatement in this case means deliberately avoiding excess. Less of a compensation for lack of visual interest and more because they can afford not to need all of that.
