The Spotlight

For a new take on minimalism keep it fresh and fashion forward! Streamline your outfit with different shades of the same color. Try a toned down color palette by wearing muted tones like black, gray, nude, and white or light pastel.

Instead of an allover black look, there’s a softness to the season’s simplicity. Put down the sequins and other snazzy embellishments aside for simple, classic pieces. The focus of minimalistic outfits is texture so use luxe lightweight fabrics like sheer shirts, silk jumpsuits, and open weave sweaters. Try neutral tones in lightweight airy layers, such as a sheer top, or add texture with ruffles and pleats with a mini skirt.

Just because the style is simple doesn’t mean the silhouettes are simple. Try structured items that will give shape to your look such as this black peplum tank. Light fabrics and warm color palettes offer simple simple yet sophisticated style. Show some skin with bare shoulders or a dress with cutouts or sheer panels.

When the rest of your look is toned down your outfit becomes the perfect canvas for accessories. Add a pop of color with metallic in a similar shade of color. For example for if you’re wearing white, a silver clutch will blend in perfectly.
