10 Essential Fashion Pieces Every Minimalist Should Have In Their Closet

If you’re looking to change up your look and simplify your wardrobe, here’s 10 essential fashion pieces every minimalist should have in their closet!

1. A graphic tee

For casual wear, a minimalist can never go wrong with a graphic tee! Tuck in the tee underneath your favorite jeans or trousers and call it a day. Graphic tees are also the perfect way to express your own interests despite keeping the rest of your outfit pretty simple and classic. When wearing a graphic tee, you can personalize the shirt by folding its sleeves, or even tying it into a knot at the end if it’s too long to tuck in.

2. High-rise jeans

High-rise jeans are most necessary for your minimalist wardrobe. You can pair high-rise jeans with almost any casual top for a trendy look that supports your figure. Since the jeans are high-rise, your legs appear elongated and the smallest part of your waist is accentuated. Straight-cut or mom-jeans are the most popular style of high-rise jeans right now, but you can also try your hand in a more vintage 70s look as seen in the featured high-rise flare jeans below.

3. Comfortable sneakers

Comfortable sneakers are a must-have in any minimalist’s wardrobe. You can wear them every day for almost any informal occasion, and never worry about your feet hurting! Pick up a stylish pair from your favorite brand, preferably in white since it can potentially match with almost any casual outfit you can think of. Although white can be hard to clean, you can always invest in a protective sealant to spray over your shoes before wearing them to prevent them from getting wet or dirty!
