Say it with me folks: minimalism does not equal boring. The sleek and simple aesthetic is about more than just plain white T-shirts and all-black outfits. It’s not solely about quiet luxury either, although there is obviously some overlap. Having a more minimalist style means looking for pieces that can stand on their own, no flashy accessories necessary. It’s about hunting down that perfect fit or impeccable tailoring that make something look like it was made just for you. The fact that my minimalist wardrobe can also be mixed and matched in just about any combination is just the cherry on top of a very chic cake. So while others may love the maximalist vibes of the Sardine Girl trend, I’m more than happy to just keep things simple this summer. Read on for 13 gorgeous minimalist summer fashion pieces I’ve got my heart set on adding to my wardrobe ASAP.
