essential tips to create your minimalist wardrobe

Here is the basis recipe for a successful minimalist wardrobe.

• Review your entire wardrobe to select what you really need. It is better to invest in a good wool sweater, solid and of quality, than to buy several that will not last long.
• The clothes that you will keep in your final selection must be able to be combined with each other. Choose your basics well, neutral colors that are easy to combine. Ranges of whites, grays, browns and blacks always work great for this. On the print side, simple sailor-style stripes are a good classic.
• If you have to reduce your wardrobe to the essentials, count a maximum of 40 items of clothing for a perfect wardrobe capsule. Plan your purchases according to what is missing from your selection when the seasons change.
• Finally, if you hesitate on a garment, do not throw anything away. Set it aside for a time (a month, a season or a year, depending on the type of garment). If you missed this piece, add it back to your wardrobe. Otherwise, you don’t need it. You can donate it, recycle it, etc.

The colors of a minimalist wardrobe

So the simpler your color choices, the easier it will be to create the combinations that suit you. Moreover, whites, grays and blacks are the basis of elegance and sobriety, they are essential to minimalism. Brown is added in several shades, and a few specific shades of blue and green: navy and khaki, preferably.
