Have you ever noticed just how often we stuff our closets with hard-to-match items? We keep clothes that donโt fit and donโt flatter, simply because we canโt bring ourselves to let them go. In this era of cheap, fast fashion, itโs easy to accumulate a lot of clothes. Go to any popular clothing store and chances are you can walk out with multiple bags for under a hundred dollars. Unfortunately, much of this clothing is cheap and poorly made, while trendy items that might seem hot this season end up in the โgoes with nothingโ pile in a few months and then youโre left standing in front of the closet for 20 minutes trying to find something to wear.
These days, Iโm incredibly selective with my clothing purchases, opting usually only to invest in classic pieces that I really truly love. Adopting a minimalist approach to fashion as really made a difference for me. A minimalist wardrobe is one that gives you maximum style and versatility with the minimum number of clothing pieces. The key is to choose quality over quantity. This means you get more outfits from fewer pieces of clothing and you wonโt break the bank buying clothes you wonโt wear.
โค fitted white/black t-shirt. Is there anything more classic than a plain t-shirt? Simple, clean, easy. It can go a long way, no matter the season or your personal style. From a casual setting to something a bit more formal, you can mix and match this staple piece to compliment any event. You can dress it up, dress it down, wear it alone or layered. It really is the perfect wardrobe staple.
โค sleek black pants. A good pair of black pants need to be treated well to retain their deep colour, which means following label instructions closely. The payoff is well worth it, though. Black pants are as versatile as legwear gets and as cool as it comes. Look for a pair with just the right amount of stretch to stay comfortable all day long because you'll be wearing them a lot.
