Sometimes the words "minimal" and "boring" can get thrown around together. But in this editors opinion, they dont have to be related. In fact, minimalist fashion can be just as cool and inspiring as more ornate looks.
The trick to making minimal outfits look elevated is following a few key rules. First, dont be afraid of color. If you stick to streamlined silhouettes, bold solid colors like fuchsia and chartreuse can easily fit within a minimalist wardrobe. Next, fit is important. Something as simple as a white T-shirt can look surprisingly different depending on the cut. And lastly, choose just a few accessories. Adding one or two pieceslike simple toe-cap slingbacks or flat-top sunglassescan add dimension to your outfit without feeling too overdone. Want to see how fashion girls are wearing minimal outfits?
