The Art of Minimalism…
“ Less is More” “ was coined by the architect Ludwig Mies can der Rohe in the 1940’s and more applicable today than ever!
Minimalist fashion has become more
popular because it is not only
sustainable, but has psychological benefits too! In a world where fast fashion
dominates, clean lines, neutral tones and a preference for quality over
quantity, are becoming more desirable to the discerning ones.
The appeal has multiple layers:
Decision
fatigue is real: if we have less choice of what to
wear, we use less mental energy making this decision, which is now in reserve
for the rest of our busy day!
Clutter
vs calm: a
cluttered environment reflects a cluttered mind! Less clothes, efficiently
chosen and organized, minimize stress and anxiety and promote calmness and
patience.
Confidence
is quiet: simplicity does not mean boring. Choosing
high quality items that fit to perfection and to flatter, means we have a
wardrobe that is timeless and stylish. It ensures we look good and hence feel
good and confident, ready to slay the day!
Sustainable is lasting: fast fashion impacts negatively on the environment especially though pollution. A minimalist wardrobe helps to reduce this impact and supports sustainability. It also minimizes stress which ensures that we are curating better wellbeing.
Hence, “less is more” is an approach to
fashion and life that is more than just looking good. It is a commitment to
simplifying our lives, minimizing stress and positively impacting our
environment. By doing this, we not only
create a repertoire of stylish,
sustainable fashion items, we improve our overall wellbeing too!
Statement: Simplify your closet, elevate your mind!
