Perhaps the most quintessential way to achieve a minimalist look is with a monochrome outfit. You could go for all-neutral (white, black, browns) or opt for a monochrome ensemble in a more colorful hue. The choice is yours, but no matter how you rock it, you’re sure to look chic AF.

2. Clean Lines

One of the reasons minimalist outfits look so freakin’ cool is because there’s often an attention to detail—especially when it comes to clean lines. You can achieve this with dresses that fall straight down (Slip dresses are a personal fave.) or any other neutral pieces that create sleek lines when worn.

Yes, statement jewelry is fun to wear, but dainty jewelry is a timeless, minimalist must-have. You could go for some simple gold hoops or a dainty silver necklace—whatever floats your boat. Just keep things classic and cool, and you’ll have jewelry that goes with just about any outfit.

Rather than wearing chunky boots, for a super minimalist look, try some barely-there sandals. It’s the closest thing to wearing no shoes at all. The eye will be drawn to your entire outfit and not just your shoes. That way, the rest of your ensemble can shine.

Whether it’s a plain white tee, white button down or even a popover, every minimalist wardrobe should have a few white shirts. The white shirt goes with anything, and works as the base of any minimalist ensemble. You can keep things neutral with an all-white ‘fit or throw in some color for a trendy pop.

Boilersuits and jumpsuits in neutral hues are such an easy way to achieve a minimalist look. After all, it’s only one piece of clothing—so you don’t have to match items or worry about finding both a top and pants that work well together. Just throw on a boilersuit or jumpsuit and go!

7. Structured Silhouettes

Along with clean lines, a minimalist wardrobe can also feature structured silhouettes. Think blazers that have sharp shoulders and pieces that just feel more structured than a loose-fitting sweater. If an article of clothing makes you feel like a boss, odds are it’s got some great structure in it.
