Am I A Minimalist? 101

If you probably heard the word, minimalist and it sounds like you, this article would help you know if you are truly a minimalist, or all you are is a maximalist or everything between.

To be a fashion minimalist, you need to have a style that is: 

1) NOT EXTRAVAGANT: If you can’t do without big hats, fur, feathers, anything that screams drama or you need to walk by and be dramatically noticed, I’m sorry, this is not for you. A minimalist style is simple and clean. Think of it like you’re a criminal that wants to escape your country, you wouldn’t really go around wearing style that would make people stare at you for too long, you want to keep it simple and breeze easily without being noticed.

2) COLORS: If your choice of colors is like a rainbow. Honey, this minimalism thing is not for you. Minimalists have been known for their choice of neutral and nude colors which include: the classic black and white, beige, blue, brown, among-st other colorless colors.

3) SILHOUETTE: “I love extreme ruffles”, “I love busy prints”, “I like cutting styles that seem complicated: pleats below, puffy sleeves and a plunge feathered neck-line.” If any of the quotes above sounds like or is similar to something you would say, then you don’t have the full spirit of minimalism in you. This is because a minimalist’s silhouette is simply clean, straight to the point, and very not complicated. If it is an A-line skirt then that is what it is, if it is a straight skirt then that is what it is. No true minimalist would go around wearing loud and busy prints.

This being said being a minimalist doesn’t mean you need to lose your sense of style and attitude. There’s a lot of minimalists that would turn heads when they walk by, it is all in the style and attitude. You don’t have to force it if it isn’t you.
