What is minimalism in clothes?

Glam radar

Today, as part of our new Theme of the month, dedicated to the elegant collection in black, we decided to talk about such an interesting direction as minimalism!

Minimalism in clothes is a simple, elegant and seasoned style that does not require unnecessary details, characterized by the conciseness of lines and color schemes.

Minimalism is not equal to asceticism. That is, a minimalistic wardrobe is not a wardrobe that contains only the necessary, limited minimum of things.

Minimalism is not equal to cheap simplicity. Rather, the opposite: modern things in a minimalist style rather look noble and expensive than rustic and cheap.

Minimalism in clothes is thought-out accuracy, freedom from unnecessary and clean lines. This lack of unnecessary and strict attention to those details that are necessary. Due to the rejection of excessive decor and decorativeness in general in minimalistic clothes, the ideal fit and fit, the right choice of material and color, and impeccable performance come to the fore.

At the height of fashion: 5 leather things that are worth sewing right now


When did minimalism appear?

Coco Chanel has done a lot for the formation and promotion of minimalism.

Minimalism in clothes began to form about a century ago. Then, at the beginning of the twentieth century, new, simple and clear forms of expression of thoughts and emotions were sought by artists, architects, and those whom we would call fashion designers today. The silhouettes and cut were simplified, the parts bearing no functional load left. Clothing became simpler, materials practical, colors universal. But even then, this simplification did not always mean cheapness.It is worth recalling suits from jersey, small black dresses and Coco Chanel's simple-shaped handbags, which never cost the customers cheap. By the way, it is Coco who is considered one of the pioneers of minimalism.

Throughout the twentieth century, this style either went into the shadows (for example, during the reign of the feminine and romantic new look), then regained popularity. One way or another, over the past century, minimalism has grown, grown stronger and searched for itself, attracting more and more clothing designers and those who wear it to the ranks of its fans.

Minimalism in clothes: the main features

yolanda.eveningdressesmodels.ga / travelcaribes.blogspot.ae

Today we can talk about minimalism as an established style with its own characteristics and even rules.

Here are the main characteristics of the style:

* lack of unnecessary details and plentiful decor;

* simplicity, elegance and laconicism of silhouettes, which does not mean an elementary or uninteresting cut;

* colors - primarily achromats (black, white, gray), it is also possible to use other basic colors, bright shades - rather as accents;

* materials - primarily without a pronounced texture, smooth and matte, seasoned;

* special attention is paid to quality - and fabrics, and planting, and performance;

* when creating sets in a minimalist style, things are combined carefully and moderately to maintain consistency and simplicity of the image;

* Accessories - simple but expressive, noteworthy, but concise.

Who what wear / Glam radar

Pure minimalism is NOT typical:

* excessive decorativeness, an abundance of non-functional parts;

* use in one image more than 2-3 colors, a combination of prints, textures;

* too feminine, romantic silhouettes, too deep necklines and cuts, the use of translucent, highly shiny materials;

* in accessories - immoderation, a combination of accessories of different styles.

What are the advantages of minimalism?

Glam Radar / thebooandtheboy.com

The listed characteristics at first glance may represent minimalism as a style consisting of continuous limitations, but this is not so. For all moderation and apparent rigor, minimalism gives freedom - not least because of its simplicity and universality. This style is clean and concise, while it is beautiful and expressive. The unusualness of minimalistic things may not be immediately evident, but the hostess will certainly be told about the great taste by the balance and noble endurance of such sets.

Glam Radar / H&M

Opening the wardrobe, each of us will surely find in it a certain amount of things in this style. It can be small sheath dresses and white or gray t-shirts, good coats that fit any set, or simple but high-quality jumpers and turtlenecks. Minimalistic things give an excellent base, combine well and help out in any situation. Depending on the environment (companion items, accessories), this clothing is able to transform, being integrated into different sets. To one degree or another, this style is present in the dressing style of the vast majority of women and men. But a complete immersion in minimalism is not for everyone.
