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.
