Minimalist Wardrobe – Fashion Basic Ideas’
Business casual give you a lot of wardrobe flexibility these days…but you still need to look put together. The denim jacket is a great mix and match item which can dress down a formal pant or skirt. Also, inspires the Canadian tuxedo (denim on denim).
A basic black blazer is classic and evergreen. Wonder what to wear to the meeting? The black blazer.
A green trench-ish coat and neutral cardigan (oatmeal is a great neutral colour) gives a subtle pop of colour with the functionality of a decent outer layer.
T-shirts, tanks, and long sleeves? Everyone has them. Everyone wears them. So be minimal. Black and white…perfect mix n’ match items. You don’t need 5 of each. Invest in a well-made fitted shirt which will last you throughout the seasons.
Minimalist pants? Yes please!. Two pairs of jeans…one blue and one black. And if one fades…demote it to the weekend wear wardrobe and replace pronto if you wear jeans in the work place. Vegan leather/faux leather leggings and vegan leather/faux leather skirts are super on trend. And why not…they scream rock star style while whisper soccer Mom budget.

Im leaning more towards a capsule wardrobe using what I have right now. Its mostly been Decluttering what doesnt bring joy so far!
I like that…”what doesn’t bring joy” — so perfect!
My whole wardrobe is built around black. That should make it small but no – I’ve got more pieces than I need! Going to have to pare down….one of these days.
Thanks Robin. I’m covet-ing those leggings and skirt myself.
I think it’s so important to have a few key pieces that can be mixed and matched. Loving your picks.
I love this post! Minimalist is exactly the word to describe my wardrobe. I like to keep things simple. It looks better and takes far less time in the morning.
Simple is always best
You have no idea how much I actually like all the stuff. I must be a minimalist when it comes to clothes because the more simple the happier I am.
Me too. I prefer to accessories with a colourful infinity scarf then have 10 different colour tops to choose from.
I love the idea of minimalists. These are great basics to have.
I need to totally make over my spring wardrobe, so I will have to keep these ideas in mind!
Boy, this is on my to get list! It’s time for me to update my wardrobe and I would love to have that blazer and that Bodycon skirt…so cute!
Same here…I need to purge my closet and get some classic items like these
Your choices are so my style, with leggings and blazers I would love to have all of it. Anything to speed up the process of getting out is ok in my book
I don’t really have any kind of plan to my wardrobe. This does sound like a great idea and a way to cut down on clothing expenses by minimizing!
Oh my…. I love minimalism. And I have to say, I love every piece in your collection and that’s unusual for me.
I need to update my essentials! I need a new denim jacket – that is the most important.
These are all great pieces. I may have a hard time minimalizing my wardrobe.
I would consider myself a fashion minimalist too. The only issue is, my fashion choices are not as stylish as these are.
I need to go through my closet and get rid of all the clothes I never wear anymore. I would love to have a more minimalist wardrobe. These are all great pieces to have.
I love the look of these pieces. I need to get a few jackets for my summer wardrobe. I like to have a few key pieces I work with.
I need to go shopping soon for Spring/Summer. I love the look of skinny jeans and a jacket. These are all nice pieces.
Minimalism sounds about like what I do. It definitely keeps getting dressed in the morning down to a minimum when I have to get 3 kids dressed, too.
I love the look of a jean jacket and leggings. There are a lot of benefits to having a minimalist wardrobe.
omg i love these looks! it’s awesome!
I love capsule wardrobes! Thanks for linking up to #HomeMattersParty
These are awesome! I love these versatile pieces! My wardrobe needs an update! 😀
You choices are a perfect travel wardrobe. Just jewelry, scarves and belts to complete the look.
I dream of a super organised capsule wardrobe but I’ve never been ruthless enough. I like the idea of these basics, then you can add scarves and jewellery to liven it al up maybe.
This post totally makes me want to go shopping! this is definitely my style. Exactly what you have shown is what I like to wear as well as the items being black and white. I am all about plain black tees, tanks and pairing it with jeans or faux leather. I actually just got a faux leather skirt I am really excited about pairing with some of my casual items 🙂
Now that I am no longer working, I clean up my closet and donated 5 big garbage bags of clothes and kept what I really like. I love the idea of basic fashion and mix and match.
This would be a great wardrobe for me. I would trade most of the black for a dark charcoal though. 😉 Thanks for the tips! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
I love the idea of minimalist, I have few clothes that can be combined with the rest and then scarves or necklaces as complements.
Thanks for sharing it with us at Sweet Inspiration
This looks like my closet! LOL!
Wow. Girl, you are no joke.
This is a great, definitive list.
OMG you are a true workhorse and researcher.
I need a little more pieces to add to my wardrobe. A minimalist wardrobe is just my style. I have 2 denim skirts, 2 long dress shirts, and leggings. Pretty basic. I also don’t work out of the home or go out a lot. ^_^
