As a personal stylist, I think the quiet-luxury look is easy to achieve. Look for high-quality pieces in classic silhouettes, which can be found on sale or secondhand. AdvertisementAs a personal stylist, I love trends like quiet luxury that encourage people to buy quality pieces that can be worn for years, or even decades. After all, quiet-luxury style is all about using high-quality, understated pieces to create effortless looks.

Hyams, who works in social media and marketing, illustrates one of the traits of Gen Z that may be surprising. Kevin McCrain, CEO of Brookfield Properties' retail business, said Gen Z craves unique experiences that they can share in person and through social media. One of the most surprising findings of her Gen Z research was a simple one: Despite growing up in a world where everything from schoolwork to dating takes place on the internet, almost every Gen Z person she surveyed or interviewed said they preferred to communicate in person. That compares with only 30% at the company's Hollister brand, which tends to attract Gen Z shoppers. Compared with older generations, Gen Z shoppers also have high expectations of how brands connect their online and offline businesses.

Burberry will use its British heritage appeal to win back customers by focusing on trench coats and scarves and be less ambitious with prices on bags and shoes, the loss-making luxury brand said in a revamp that sent its shares up sharply. “We took pricing too high across the board,” Schulman told investors and analysts, setting out his assessment of what went wrong at Burberry. Pricing strategy shiftSchulman told reporters Burberry would add more lower-priced “entry-level” products to its range as part of a pricing shift. But he said Burberry’s positioning would remain in luxury and there were no plans to make it an “accessible” luxury brand. Leather goods and shoes underperformed in the first half, Burberry said, while outerwear did better than average.

Tapping into people's passions can inspire emotional connections with consumers. In fact, our survey data identifies eight key roles that brands can play to either accelerate consumers' passions or alleviate their frustrations — one of which is fostering shared connections around their passions. A prime example of this is how Nike taps into peoples' passion for wellness, which is ranked the second highest among those we surveyed, while strengthening community bonds. Neuromarketing can derive an abundance of data-driven insights from study participants, allowing us to discern consumers' emotional associations with logos, messages, storylines, colors, and more. Inspiring an emotional response is an incredibly challenging task for marketers at a time when consumers feel bombarded by messages.
