The key to nailing minimalist style is to opt for items that are versatile and made of decent quality. You don’t want to pile on several different patterns or get super trendy. It’s a softer look, and it’s meant to look good for a lot of different occasions. I mean, you don’t need to get rid of all of your bright colors or your printed tops – there’s a place for those! – but minimalism definitely looks more ~genuine~ in certain pieces. Does that make sense? If not, keep reading. Here are some style tips on how to wear minimalist style this fall without looking boring or blah:
1. 1. Pair a button down with jeans. You can wear them together for a casual but stylish look that’s super easy. Add white sneakers to make the look even more relaxed.
2. Wear a monochrome outfit. An easy go-to for a minimalist look is monochrome. You can keep the look casual with a pair of sneakers, or dress it up with heels if you want.
3. Wear a nice sweater with heels. A perfect and easy fall minimalist outfit is a nice sweater with a pair of jeans or pants and heels. Opt for neutral shades to keep the look more relaxed.
4. Add a long sweater as the perfect layer. A long sweater with jeans, a plain tank, and ankle boots. It’s a super simple outfit that always looks good.
5. Wear a more standout piece with basics. Minimalism doesn’t have to mean basic neutrals. Get a piece that stands out more and keep it simple by pairing it with more simple items.
6. Opt for a black and white outfit. You can’t go wrong with the classic combination of black and white. It always looks stylish and has a minimalist air to it that just works.
7. Dress the look up with thigh high boots. Add thigh-high boots. I love this neutral look of mixing a brown mini skirt with a simple black sweater and boots.
8. Use accessories to make a dress work for fall. A simple t-shirt dress is a great piece for a minimalist wardrobe. To make it work for fall weather, add tights, ankle boots, and a scarf.
9. Layer any look with a leather jacket. A fitted leather jacket is another essential for a minimalist wardrobe – it gives any outfit just a little bit of an edge that works.
10. You can do a dressed up minimalist outfit easily with a little black dress that you love. All you need to add is a pair of heels and one or two pieces of jewelry.
11. Add a silk scarf to your outfit. Minimalism doesn’t mean zero accessories. A silk scarf tied at the neck creates a sophisticated vibe.
12. Replace a white tee with a striped tee. It’s a classic that looks good with anything, especially when it’s kept simple with jeans, a cardigan, and flat shoes.
13. Use a long coat to look more chic. A long wool coat. It can make literally any outfit look more stylish, even if the outfit is boyfriend jeans and a pair of sneakers.
14. Make a midi dress more simple with sneakers. A tight midi dress can easily look too dressed up for a minimalist vibe, but worn with white sneakers and a leather jacket.
15. Get a pair of slip on sneakers and wear them with everything. One key shoe for a minimalist wardrobe is a slip on sneaker. They look good with everything.
16. Wear a black tee and jeans. Keeping it simple is what minimalism is all about. A black tee and jeans that fit well really don’t need much else except for a cute pair of shoes.
17. Add cute shoes to a basic outfit. One way to keep a minimalist outfit from being too boring is to add cute boots. These belted ankle boots get the job done!
18. Use a denim jacket for some casual layering. Don’t go crazy with your layers – a denim jacket over a sweater with jeans is a super simple look you can wear almost anywhere.
19. Wear any dress with sneakers. Keep literally any dress on the casual side by wearing it with white or slip on sneakers. It will quickly become your fall go-to outfit.
20. Go for something striped. Minimalism might be about keeping it simple, but that doesn’t mean you have to avoid patterns forever. A patterned top and pants look stylish with a sweater in the same shade.
