Some may misunderstand what a minimalist wardrobe truly is, perhaps imagining it as a boring alternative to a more vibrant, trendy
wardrobe.
But that is far from the reality for those of us who enjoy them.
There is nothing boring about a minimalist wardrobe!
In fact I find minimalist clothes - as do others who love the concept - even more enjoyable and love creating chic, timeless outfits using
less as more.
And a minimalist wardrobe goes hand-in-hand with a capsule wardrobe: one that’s created with pieces that will remain relevant for many
years to come.
A wardrobe that’s kinder to both the planet and your budget.
They also makes dressing easier.
With a minimalist wardrobe it’s much simpler to find an outfit. Rather than opening your wardrobe to an overflow of clothes and
finding it impossible to put something together you instead see many pieces that work together, effortlessly.
So, if you’re looking to move towards a minimalist wardrobe or you’re already there and would just like to find more designers
and stores, then keep reading.
I’ve put together a list of 29 minimalist clothing stores and fashion brands for you to explore, now. Ones you might know and others

Whether you’re thinking of fashion, architecture, interior design, or many other field, minimalism refers to simplicity.
First arising in the field of art and sculpture in the 1950s it’s a deliberate lack of decoration or adornment in design.
In the world of fashion minimalism refers to a style that is at the same time simple and refined, quiet and assured, timeless and
contemporary.
Labels like
The Row,
Khaite, Jil
Sander and
Céline (under
Phoebe Philo’s directorship) are synonymous with minimalist fashion.
As a style that never expires and with waste becoming more and more of a focal point when it comes to reducing environmental damage,
minimalism, across all areas of our lives, is being spoken of more often.
When it comes to a minimalist wardrobe, the positive environmental effects are long lasting and far reaching.
Minimalist fashion doesn’t produce short-term trends that will be out of use or in the bin when next season arrives.
It’s also generally not the fashion that’s produced in enormous quantities using excesses of materials which end up in landfill.
Then there are the chemicals, transportation, gas and electricity - the list goes on.
And minimalist clothes are more versatile than any other style, allowing us to pair our garments to make endless outfits.
With a minimalist wardrobe it’s very rare to stare at your clothes and think, ‘I have nothing to wear!’, or to own a
piece of clothing and have nothing to pair it with.
With minimalist style, each piece of clothing you buy adds to your wardrobe's versatility and longevity.
Minimalist clothes are also more likely to be popular if you’re looking to sell them through a consignment store or
second-hand clothing store,
because they won’t have passed their expiration date.
Now for the fun bit.
