For some time now, we have become very fans of minimalist looks since betting on quality rather than quantity is the best way to elevate your style. But it is that, in addition, later this term also resonates in the closet itself. The concept of ” minimalist wardrobe ” already appears in many publications and profiles, but what exactly is it and how can you join this trend? We explain it to you:
How to turn your wardrobe into a minimalist wardrobe
A minimalist wardrobe is based on the maxim of less is more :
A garment organization system that allows us to create an infinity of looks with a reduced number of garments. But it is not only a simplified wardrobe, it is that with this technique you can turn it into a 100% functional one.
The idea is to go back to the origins and get rid of the unnecessary, so his theory is based on not exceeding 40 garments, and some even defend that 33 is enough to be able to make countless combinations and looks adaptable to personal style. Of course, within this number of garments those for sports and those that we use for special situations such as weddings, baptisms, or events are exempt, but be careful, because the accessories and complements that complete each outfit does count.
We are therefore talking about day-to-day, office, and leisure looks, which, thanks to the minimalist wardrobe technique, will breathe a timeless, simple, and, above all, elegant style.
This is what you should keep in mind to get started
- Focus on neutral colors and, if possible, simple prints like sailor stripes. The main objective is that the garments combine.
- Analyze your wardrobe and buy what you need: Avoid compulsive purchases and preferably opt for quality over quantity.
- Plan your purchases: that way you will be able to keep the number of garments below 40.
- Separate the garments before saying goodbye to them: a trick to confirm that you can do without that or those garments, is to separate them and keep them for at least a month. If in that time you have not missed them, you do not need them.
These are the colors that will fill your minimalist wardrobe
Aim: white, black, gray, khaki, tile, nude and brown, in all their range of shades. But it all depends on your style, the season and, something very interesting: your colorimetry.
- If you are winter, bet on cold tones from white to black, through gray and bluish.
- If you are autumn, your ideal tones are warm soft like the range of browns, oranges, and even greenish like khaki.
- If you are summer, choose pastel colors, such as nude, powder pink, vanilla, or lavender.
- If you are spring, yours are the slightly brighter and funnier tones such as orange, pinkish and greenish.
