The Key to Minimalist Style and Wardrobe Essentials

Minimalist Style

The Why & the Must Haves

I’m sucker for great style in all forms but at the end of the day I’m a minimalist. As much as I love all things bohemian; print, texture and color, I still find myself purchasing black, white, and grey. I guess, for me I have come to a point in my life where I truly understand the importance of investing in great quality pieces. Each season something new trends and of course, as a fashion lover I want whats new. But what I really pay attention to is the overall styling of a new trend item and I ask my self two things; 1. Do I REALLY need this? And….2. Can I style what I already have in a way that’s trending? Most of the time the answer to the number one is NO and the answer to number 2 is YES, with exception of shoes, that’s always a YES.

Minimalist styling is all about making the most of your essentials and keeping it simple. Clean, simple and chic lines are always in style regardless of age or size. The best way to update what you already have is styling-it really is everything. Styling your clothing is just as important, if not more important than each individual piece of clothing. The key to minimalist style are those great quality, everyday pieces that can be mixed and matched in infinite ways. Monochromatic styling is an easy and effortless way to nail a minimal vibe, and so is wearing neutrals in different tones. Solid colors are the star in minimal styling.
