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!
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.

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.
