Whether you’re the kind of person who lays out their outfits the night before or you’re more of a “throw on the first thing you see seconds before leaving the house” type, it is universally acknowledged that simple fashion pairings are the key to stress-free dressing. Luckily, the minimalist fashion trend very much lends itself to the art of simple styling. It’s all about sticking to classic colourways, mixing in unexpected textures and playing with dramatic silhouettes. Anything that gets us back a few extra minutes in the morning is a win in our books.
Thankfully, when it comes to minimalist style, there is plenty of inspiration to be found on Instagram from the likes of Alexis Foreman and Sylvie Mus. I’m talking chunky cable-knits jumpers and white denim, elegant midi dresses and knee-high boots and sharp blazers balanced out with wide-leg jeans. The best thing? You probably have many of the below pieces already sitting in your wardrobe, so feel free to use our minimalist outfit ideas as a way to experiment with your pre-existing capsule this autumn.
