The world’s leading minimalist fashion brands are best known for their maximum impact with minimal effort. Think of
prominent labels like The Row and Céline under Phoebe Philo’s design, both a combination of these core elements.
So what is minimalism?
As the term suggests, minimalist clothes offer a style where smooth, modest aesthetics are at the forefront of design.
The best minimalist fashion brands tend to offer classic, ageless fashion with singular elements of difference, such as chunky
androgynous knits, relaxed tailored trousers, and oversized classic shirts.
It's a style that's essential when creating a capsule
wardrobe,
as it provides basics that will never expire.
And it's a style that’s growing in popularity for multiple reasons.
With waste becoming more and more of a focal point when it comes to reducing environmental damage, minimalism, across all areas of our
lives, is being spoken of more often.
When it comes to a minimalist wardrobe, the positive environmental effects are long lasting and far reaching.
Minimalist fashion brands don’t produce short-term trends that will be out of use and potentially in the bin by next season (although there
are options now days for recycling
old clothes,
rather than binning them).
It’s also generally not the fashion that’s produced in enormous quantities like fast fashion which generally has a focus on
trends.
And minimalist clothing is more versatile than most other styles.
A minimalist wardrobe makes it less likely you'll find yourself staring at your clothes and thinking, ‘I have nothing to wear!’,
or owning a piece of clothing that you have nothing to wear with.
With minimalist style, outfits are far easier to envisage as the clothing in your wardrobe works together and each piece you buy
adds to your wardrobe's versatility and longevity.
They’re also more likely to be popular if you’re looking to sell them through a consignment store or an online second hand clothing store,
because they won’t have passed their expiration date.
What is termed as minimalism does differ a small amount between brands, with some offering clean simple design, while others add a
touch of innovation.
And there are a growing number of minimalist fashion brands as well, making it easier to find what works for you.
Minimalist clothing is also one of
the filter options you'll find if you're shopping from With Bogart.
Use this option and you'll be offered hundreds of stores selling this style, with more filter options to personalise your search further and
make it even easier to shop online.
Much better than searching the web!
