If You Think You're a Minimalist, Watch Me Change Your Mind With These 30 Pieces
My personal style is constantly evolving. Winter months have me clinging to minimalist style staples with the hopes of simply staying warm through the frigid NYC temps. But come spring and summer, I immediately whip out the brightest of colorways and splashy prints.
They say to dress for the life you want to have, and I want mine to be fun, so join me in pressing pause on the elevated minimalist aesthetic that's taken hold on your Pinterest board, and try something different. The below pieces are so good that even people famous for their minimalist aesthetic—think Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy or Matilda Djerf—would spend a day as a maximalist just to wear them.
This Loewe skirt has had a hold on me since I saw it prance down the runway.
I'm here for this sustainable tee and its sustainable message.
I've tried these myself, and they won my approval.
I have a hot-pink midi skirt that I've been living in, so I'm telling all of my friends to buy this one.
I also own this dress, and it's a vibe.
Okay, one more thing that I own but can't stop obsessing over are these bold shoes.
If you're scared of color, try sneaking in this tank with a white button-down shirt and blue jeans.
Another great option for those who are just now introducing color pairings to their wardrobe is a headscarf. It's a low-commitment opportunity to wear something in a different way.
We love a pair of pants you can lounge in but also wear on a night out.

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, trying the latest fitness craze in New York City, or exploring luxury vintage boutiques.
