What to have in a minimalist wardrobe? Learn how to combine classic pieces
Many of these clothes will also be useful to put together your travel outfits. In any case, follow these guidelines:
White shirt
A white shirt is a fundamental piece. You can choose fabrics such as cotton or linen; natural fibers are breathable, light, and perfect for hot weather. Also, you can wear them with pants, skirts or even shorts.
T-shirts
Here you should choose the basic ones, with neutral colors, such as gray, white or black. You can choose tees with long sleeves or short sleeves, depending on the time of the year. They look great combined with jeans or shorts.
Shorts
A pair of shorts in colors like denim or beige will match perfectly with T-shirts or even shirts. If you want more elegant occasions, you can choose darker shades and combine them with blouses.
Short dresses
A short black dress can be elegant and versatile. On the other hand, light tones are great for a more casual style. You can combine them with sandals or sneakers, depending on your outing.
Kimonos
You can opt for a kimono in a subtle print, such as flowers or soft stripes. In this sense, kimonos are ideal to wear over t-shirts, dresses or tops. They’re versatile garments, so long as you go with a timeless print.
Recommended colors and materials for your minimalist wardrobe
The minimalist wardrobe, as you can imagine, tends to consist of solid colors and timeless materials. As you may have seen, it’s all about using basic tones. For example, whites, blacks and grays. Also, yellow, light blue, green, or red colors can be a fun addition.
As for materials, linen, denim or cotton are durable and versatile. Also, silk can be an alternative for a much more elegant outfit.
What about prints?
Whenever possible, opt for timeless prints to complement your closet. However, if you love a good print, go for a subtle option that is printed in low proportion, such as thin stripes, small polka dots, or small geo prints. If you choose a color, make sure it matches the rest of your outfit.
Other types of clothes for your minimalist wardrobe, depending on the occasion
Of course, there are also other types of clothing that you can take advantage of in your closet, such as:
- Footwear. You can choose shoes with classic styles and shades, such as black flats.
- Jackets. Leather can be a great option, since it adapts to the minimalist style. The same with denim jackets.
- Skirts. Finally, skirts are a statement piece. They will surely match with the rest of your clothes.
In all cases, a minimalist wardrobe is a great option since it will allow you to save time when choosing your daily outfits, since everything will match. So, get to work and choose the ideal outfits we have for you!
