Minimalism is at it's peak, and I am not at all surprised why. The minimalistic trends we are seeing today look clean, put together, AND SUPER EASY TO RECREATE. Follow these simple steps with me to live a more happy, fashionable, minimalistic life. :)
STEP #1: CONFIDENCE
With anything you do in life, the most important thing is to be confident about it. In the world of fashion, the statement "confidence is key" couldn't be anymore correct. Without it, fashion, as well as trends, would simply not exist. Stop thinking about whether or not people are judging you, AND NEVER second guess yourself.
STEP #2: GO THROUGH YOUR CLOSET
Now that we have step #1 out of the way, we can begin to look through our closets to see what potential is lurking about. You might have thought that that old, white tee was eligible for the next goodwill drop off trip, but before you do any frequent goodwill shopper a solid, *coughcough* (me) keep that tee and use it to it's full ability! In this case, plain is kind of a good thing. The whole idea of minimalism is to look as chic as possible, without making a huge effort. So when looking for potential in your closet, keep that in mind.
Some articles of clothing to keep for future use would be an oversized denim jacket, a black and white striped shirt, ALL OF YOUR BLAZERS, a trench coat, culottes of any kind, a white tee (of course), a plain black dress, and a leather jacket. These things are super versatile and easy to accessorize.
STEP #3: BUILD YOUR CLOSET
Take all of the articles of clothing I just listed in mind. If you don't have a few of these things, don't freight, there's always time to build up your closet to what you would like it to be. Go on pinterest and get outfit ideas, and then make a wishlist of the garments you are working towards getting. This will help you get an organized plan, and will also be a motive. Remember, neutrals always look best when playing with minimalism, but a bright color never hurts either.
STEP #4: LET'S TALK ABOUT SHOES
The same kinds of things apply to shoes. Make sure to keep your footwear simple, but bold. In the fashion industry, the Adidas Original Superstars, (they're basically just white sneakers) are super popular at the moment. I recently purchased a look-alike pair from H&M that were a third of the price. (you can see them pictured above) Shoes like this are great for acquiring the minimal-chic look.
STEP #5: HAVE AN AMAZING DAY <3
