The minimalist's wardrobe

[ShoestringTravel]

Here are a couple of other blogs that have a minimalist bent to them:

I found scans of the Amanda Brooks article here on another minimalism blog here:

In Amanda Brooks' book "I Love Your Style," she has an interesting section on Minimalism.

I love that book! And the section in Minimalism is really interesting!

I've been meaning to buy the book actually. The fact that there's a section on dressing minimalistically makes it quite appealing.

i think tilda swinton does minimalism very well...

I agree 100%. She carries it so well, and adds flourishes too (like the satin wide leg pants instead of a plainer fabric in the first look you posted).

I wear jeans and a t-shirt almost exclusively. I don't think I could get much more minimalistic unless I wore just my underwear.

^ Maybe a onesie I understand they come in orange, but I guess those aren't for civilians ...

I'm not good at keeping a minimal wardrobe for everyday life but I think it's ideal when traveling. To pack few items that are versatile goes a much longer way than packing an entire suitcase filled with items you can only wear in one way.

This is something that I'm really working on right now. I tend to wear the same things all the time, and eventually realized that there was no point having so much clothing.

Me too, moirla. I've been trying to combine minimalism with the 4-5 item per season French wardrobe. It's been pretty successful! Now I'm more excited to get dressed everyday, because I love what's in my closet.

Alright I'm starting to feel like I'm making progress! Yesterday I finally released my faded, stained black trousers and replaced them with a nice new pair that I'm sure I'll be wearing constantly (navy, slim-leg, Japanese twill) . I've also come up with a few items to send to consignment and thrift stores, and am slowly getting rid of my old, useless bras that have stayed around for far too long...
