The hottest keyword this spring is the minimal look. Minimalism in fashion is based on the philosophy "less is more."
This trend emphasizes simplicity, refinement, and functionality, with a few key elements.
Minimal fashion typically uses a simple color palette. Colors like black, white, gray, and beige are examples. These colors complement each other well and allow for easy styling through various combinations.
Lee Chung-ah styled a white blouse with black pants and a beige coat for a minimal yet luxurious daily look.
Minimal design avoids complex decorations or unnecessary details. Instead, clean lines and solid structures are preferred, giving a modern and sophisticated feel.
In another shot, she matched white turtleneck knit with denim pants, styling it with a black blazer for a chic and sophisticated minimal look.
When styling such minimal looks, one important point to note is whether good quality sustainable materials have been used. Since minimalist clothing is less subject to fashion trends, each item can be worn for a longer time, which ties back to sustainability.
Another point is that the minimal outfits we own should be versatile enough to be used in various everyday scenarios. The more our basic fashion items complement each other and can be mixed and matched for various situations, the higher their utility value becomes.
Items such as black blazers, white blouses or shirts, well-fitting denim pants, and black pants, as worn by Lee Chung-ah, are among the most versatile items we can use in daily coordination.
People who pursue a minimalist fashion style reduce unnecessary items in their wardrobe, simplifying the process of choosing what to wear every day, making daily outfit decisions easier.
Minimalism affects not just fashion but lifestyle as well. It focuses on achieving greater satisfaction with fewer possessions, leading to reduced consumption and, for some, a more meaningful way of life.
