A Visual Guide to the 47 Sleekest Minimalist Fashion Outfits We’ve Ever Seen

Few trends boast the staying power minimalism does. Because minimalist fashion isn’t just a passing fad—it represents an entire sartorial mindset. Minimalism is about paring down your closet to its basics, creating a capsule wardrobe full of essentials and pairing those go-to’s every which way until you have a whole host of minimalist outfits at your disposal. It’s fashion in its most efficient form: Your closet is there to complement you, not to dominate your headspace.

Our collective affinity for minimalism hit full swing several years ago, and its remained unendingly strong since. Though maximalism has become popular in street style and home decor spheres, it hasn’t dulled minimalism’s overwhelming appeal; odds are, there’s something inside all of us that will continue appreciating simplicity, balance and peace for years—maybe even decades—to come.

The issue is: Appreciating minimalist fashion and integrating it into your day-to-day are two very, very different things. Because the latter requires effort. You have to Kondo the hell out of your closet, build that aforementioned capsule wardrobe and then brainstorm enough minimalist outfits to carry you through life. And just when you think you’ve achieved the perfect minimalist situation, something—some event, some outfit inspo pic, something—will rear its ugly head, and you’ll realize you totally neglected to stock up on some basic that’s essential to like, 10 of the outfits you want to wear.

The best way to figure out what you need to shop? Determining what you want to wear. And the easiest way to make that happen is to peruse all the minimalist outfit inspiration you can get your hands on. Which is exactly why we’ve assembled a visual guide to the 47 sleekest, best minimalist fashion outfits we’ve ever laid eyes on. (You and your soon-to-be perfectly assembled wardrobe can thank us later.)
