Opulence in Fashion

Fashion terms such as opulent fashion needs to be carefully reviewed.

Their is a fine line between opulence and opulent.

Opulence means great wealth or luxuriousness.
  • That sounds to be a nice or positive label.
Opulent means ostentatiously rich and luxurious or lavish.
  • Wait a minute.  Can't "ostentatious" be perceived as slightly negative.
Ostentatiously means in a "pretentious" or showy way designed to impress.

Pretentious means attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
  • We don't want to "attempt" to impress.  We want to "truly" impress.
