Guide to becoming a Minimalist Fashion Lover

"Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance."
Coco Chanel.
The phrases "minimalist fashion" or "less is
more make us think of everything less -
restricted wardrobe, fewer accessories, limited
colours or shapeless-looking pieces in various
shades of black, or grey. But being a
minimalist fashionista isn't about getting your
apparels or accessories down to a few numbers.
And it isn't going all simple without any style
or any accessories.

So what's exactly is a minimalist fashion lover
and how to become one?
Minimalism in fashion is not just the quantity.
It is about consciously owning your style and
those pieces that influence it, rather than being
bound by things you don't even like. A minimal
approach to fashion means planning your closet
with intentionality not numbers. Your goal is a
wardrobe that fits your lifestyle, and is filled
with high-quality pieces you absolutely love.

Here are some tips for fashion lovers to go
minimal and still rock it right
5
Buy Quality over Quantity

• The trick here is to shop with purpose, less
  often, and purchase better quality items. Decide
  what you actually want before making a purchase.
  Avoid buying too many outfits in a go or
  expensive ones just to wear for a day.
• Instead, get creative and work it out with your
  existing wardrobe to come up with new styles.
  Maybe an add-on of a new accessory or a different
  hairstyle won't let people notice that you are
  wearing that dress for the second time!

Re-organize your Closet

• You only wear 20 to 30 of your wardrobe
  regularly. De-clutter your wardrobe and do a deep
  clean to organize it the smart way. Get rid of
  pieces that doesn't fit you anymore, or are worn
  out, and also the ones you can never see yourself
  wearing ever. What's left will be the items you
  love, and that's probably your current rotation.
  Fill in any gaps with careful considerations and
  conscious shopping over time.
• For the accessories, from jewellery to handbags
  or scarves, divide them up into things you love,
  things you might use someday, and things you know
  you need to get rid of.

7
Limit Accessories
Accessories truly can make or break your look.
Why not start wearing minimal jewellery instead
of the intricate or heavy ones? Also limit your
pointless shopping of other accessories like
bags, shoes, scarves, etc. Try to buy a style
that will go with multiple outfits, and you have
a win there. Also, why purchase handbags, belts
and scarves of the same colour that you already
possess! Say no to even the identical prints.
8
Go Classy, Not Trendy

• How about going versatile instead of just blindly
  following the current fashion trend. The
  minimalist fashion focuses on things that are
  classy and eternal. A classy closet will help you
  get rid of mismatched trendy pieces taking up
  valuable space in it.
• Invest more in neutral basics, like a layering
  tank or a pair of classic denim jeans. Better
  quality basics with a perfect fit are more
  durable, and they go with different outfits while
  delivering that ideal look and feel which means
  money saved in the long run!

9
Define Your Style

• The toughest trick in the book to achieve the
  minimalist-chic look is discovering your own
  style. After a wardrobe cleaning, if you can see
  a similar pattern or a colour palette on all the
  pieces, then that's your personal style.
• Your style should go with your lifestyle, while
  being comfortable and flattering. Stick to
  minimal jewellery like single pendant in a
  lightweight gold chain or some stacked silver
  charm bracelets for a minimal look. Eliminate too
  much of accessories stick to either a scarf or a
  belt with a handbag.

Like I said before, it's more about consciousness
and quality than just numbers.

and remove one accessory." Coco Chanel.
