I am back today with a guide to minimal fashion! my style really changed throughout the years (thanks god), I went from extra colorful, to cute and girly and now street style/minimal and I want to talk about the minimal part today. The logo mania became a trend in 2016, exposing a brand name/logo became more important than the outfit itself. as long as ‘CHAMPION’ or ‘FILA’ were written, that was a look. Since that phase, I gradually got sick of all logos, prints and started to get interested in minimal fashion. Also because the logo mania was a synonym of fast fashion which has a big part in the environmental issues we face today.
According to NoSideBar, a famous blog about minimalism, having a minimal approach to fashion means that:
‘you approach your closet with intentionality, not aiming for the largest (or smallest) number of things. Rather, your aim is a wardrobe that fits your lifestyle, and is filled with high-quality pieces you absolutely love that will, hopefully, last years.’
this is what I am aiming for. Even if sometimes I just want to go to urban outfitters and spend all my money on cute but way too pricey stuffs, I still want to invest in good and pieces that last years. 
THE SPRING CLEANING
The first step for me in having a minimal approach to fashion was to do a massive spring cleaning in my closet, following the KonMari method (hi mom) to get rid of all the clothes that I don’t wear and give them to charity. This first step was a massive change for me since I was accumulating clothes for 5 years.
FINDING WHAT FITS YOU
The second step was to find what clothes suits me the best in terms of shapes, colors and materials. I am 1,75m tall and I won’t say I have a slim figure but my body has a pretty regular body shape, my shoulder are bigger than my hips and my thighs are… very present. So my go-to pants became black straight pants. I still haven’t found the types of jeans that really fits me but I’m getting close.
And for the rest I just go with comfortable clothes I’m sure I’ll wear like hoodies (HOODIES ARE LIFE OMG), way too oversized shirts, and baggy sweatpants. I used to hate black clothes but now it is my go-to color like I don’t have any outfit without black.
BEING CONSCIOUS
The third and last step is being conscious when shopping. Find sustainable brands, or go to the eco-friendly collection of your favorite store (nowadays more and more brands have an eco-friendly collection in their stores). Think about what you are buying: are you buying it just because it is supposedly ‘trendy’? do you actually like it? Is the quality good?
Remember that buying something low quality equals buying it twice: the first time when you buy it, and then when you replace it because it didn’t last. I am planning on sharing with you some sustainable brands I discovered and some place where you can buy long lasting items! That’s it for today’s post, hope you’ll re-think your approach to fashion and I can’t wait to hear what you have to say in the comments.

THE GOLDEN CRUSH 
This is such an interesting approach! In terms of quality, I’m in the same boat as you – I definitely prefer more expensive, better quality and lasts longer to cheap and low quality. I love the minimal trend on other people, but I love colours for myself! xx

yeah I feel like everyone can approach minimalism in their own way! I personally got attracted to it naturally because I don’t really wear colors, when I do I feel like a Pokemon catcher lmao – thank you for your comment ❤
