I'm in My Minimalist Era—5 Simple and Sophisticated Outfits I Can't Wait to Copy for Myself
This fall, I've decided to not do too much. I tend to fluctuate between minimalist and maximalist, and I'm not sure what's in the air, but this season, it's looking like I'm heading down the minimalist, quiet-luxury path. Simple, chic, and easy outfits I can wear from work to the weekend are at the top of my list, and to make things easier, I decided to bookmark some good ones to get the ball rolling on my wardrobe. These looks are so good that it felt selfish to keep them to myself.
Keep scrolling to see the five chic, minimalist outfits I'm loving right now.
Double Denim + Leather Belt
If you know me, you know I love anything Western, and nothing says a Western like a double-denim look. It's the perfect casual yet dressy outfit that takes five minutes to put together. The key is a great leather belt and the right shoes.
Boat-Neck Top + Jeans + Ballet Flats
Meet my new go-to office outfit. A boat-neck top takes any long sleeve from pedestrian to polished. With the right jeans and a pair of ballet flats, this outfit combination is simple, easy, and compliment-prone.
Button-Down Shirt + Tee + Jeans + Heels
I love a good button-down on its own, but when styled with the perfect white tank and heels, this outfit is the perfect combination of casual yet fun. I would wear this look to happy hour or a first date.
T-Shirt + Jeans + Flats + Head Scarf
A headscarf is the perfect way to make a T-shirt and jeans feel a little bit more fashionable. Plus it's great for those days when you don't feel like doing your hair.
Little Black Dress + Tote Bag + Ballet Flats
An LBD is a classic for a reason. Not only is it easy to style, but a good little black dress also looks good on everyone and is seasonless. This fall, I plan on wearing mine with ballet flats during the day and heeled boots at night.
