Minimalist style/ fashion means having a minimal amount of clothes in your wardrobe that feel right and bring joy. It’s said to be key to a happier and more sustainable life. Keep reading to discover how to start your minimalist wardrobe.
Minimalism is the antithesis of the modern consumerist narrative—and for good reason. In a global marketplace that wants you to consume more and more, minimalism says “Hey! Have you ever thought about intentionally having less?” How to get involved, you ask? Start with your clothes. Here are five wardrobe essentials you can keep if minimalism is your kind of style.
1. Retro and Canvas Sneakers
Whether you’re into a more streamlined sneaker or really follow every trend, sneakers will never go out of style and obviously have such practical use, never mind the comfort factor!
2. Bomber Jackets
Bomber jackets are super on-trend right now, but again, whether it’s a leather bomber or an oversize canvas one, they add a cool factor to a simple look.
3. Oversize Shirts
Oversize button-downs are just so practical and easy. When hard-pressed on what to wear, throw on a crisp white button-down, denim or trousers, and kicks or ballet flats, and your out the door. Over the past few years, we’ve seen oversize button-downs in vibrant colors, so depending on your style, there’s one for everyone! You can stick to neutrals and have them in black, white, and beige. They can be used as bathing-suit cover-ups in the warmer months as well.
4. Cargo Pants
This spring and summer, you will see cargo pants everywhere in various fabrics: from denim to canvas to cotton. Cargoes are sort of a go-to weekend vibe.
5. Straight-Leg/Relaxed Jeans
Denim jeans always do the trick . There’s something about the fit that just gives you confidence. When styled well they make a simple or easy outfit look very fashionable.
