Do you buy and then regret it? Choose minimalism in your wardrobe!

The unattainable dream of living with minimalism and constant temptation in the fashion world. It soundsfamiliar. We, because I certainly belong to that group of people who treat fashion as art and a way to express ourselves, we are a bit lost in the modern world. Fast fashion has taken over the market, and yet we do not want to develop our passions at the expense of the planet that gives us life. The answer is minimalism in the wardrobe.

Why do we still want more?

Okay, we are becoming more and more aware and know that sustainable fashion can be the answer on the fast-paced world of consumerism. We try to live according to the idea of ​​zero waste, less waste, restricting meat consumption, planting trees, saving water … There are many answers to the question of how to live more ecologically, but how to reconcile love of fashion and ecology? I think the answer is simpler than we think – minimalism in the wardrobe.

The era of fashion influences and red carpets has set canons that are not necessarily understandable to me. A woman cannot show up several times in the same outfit? This is, of course, a complete contradiction of my todays writing . The first and, in fact, the only myth that should be debunked today is the one that fashion is a mass of clothes in a wardrobe or a gigantic wardrobe.

Create your base!

Accustomed to constant changes on the catwalks, to fashion seasonal and to spend your hard-earned money on things in chain stores for a few months will completely lose “this something”, because there will be a number of news. It is not healthy. I am ignoring the fact that big clothing concerns prey on bad mood and hasty decisions.

However, let’s consider together whether the countless amounts of clothes will really make us feel exceptionally? I have a slightly different theory for this, i.e. the so-called capsule wardrobe. Fashion is imagination the ability to create, creativity. All this, however, can happen when we are they had their reliable base in the closet. When writing the base, I don’t mean black T-shirts or simple jeans.

Of course, we will probably find each of them in most of your wardrobes, but the key thing is for each of us to create our own small collection of clothing that we loved , tailored to our taste, on which he will be able to work. If your base is a rainbow long-sleeved blouse, – that’s okay. Ultimately, the idea is to get things in

Your capsule wardrobe, they combined in many combinations and were not limited by seasonality. This your style will never be boring, and replenishing the base will not be emotional decision, that is, the title – you buy, and then you regret it.

What should be in a capsule wardrobe? 

It’s interesting that usually people whose clothes spill out of the wardrobe stand in front of the mirror and saying “I have nothing to wear  ”. Yes you don’t, because most of the things you buy are random which You like it a bit, but mostly because it was on sale. If we strive to create a minimalist wardrobe, always take into account when going shopping whether the item we want to buy matches the item from the capsule wardrobe we already have. It’s great a way to rationalize your purchases. Emotional quick decisions usually end dissatisfaction and a pile of money spent. Instead, you can choose minimalism in the wardrobe.

As I mentioned above, whatever you want, but it can be – dark comfortable trousers, jeans, tracksuit, several T-shirts, warm sweater, long cardigan, oversize sweatshirt, jacket, biker jacket, white, shirt…

Remember, you don’t have to buy a lot and expensive just to be trendy. Fashion is beauty that flows from us. It’s creativity, big heads and self-confidence. We define fashion, not fashion us!
