There’s something so perfect and satisfying about the clean lines and neutral palettes of minimalism. Minimalist fashion is all about keeping it simple, whether it’s monochromatic, all-black everything, or a collection of grays, nudes, and pinks; the emphasis is less on colour and more on lines and textures.
Recently, minimalist fashion has been at the forefront of the fashion world. Everyone from celebrities to fashion bloggers are channeling the minimalist motto: less is more.
