Minimalist summer chic: Style guide

As soon as the warm weather arrives, the desire to fill our dressing room with new fashionable clothes assails us. We choose the latest fashionable women's clothes without knowing how to match them, and they end up at the back of the closet with the label. To avoid this, choosing a chic minimalist dressing room is the solution. Choosing your summer outfits has never been easier, and your look will be perfect. We'll tell you all about this chic trend for summer days! 

 

How does minimalism work in fashion?

Clothing minimalism consists in reducing the number of pieces we have in our dressing room that we don't know what to do with. Instead of buying more and more clothes, the minimalist option aims to have essentials, those pieces that work with every outfit. Say goodbye to the sequin dress bought on the spur of the moment or the multicolored top found on sale. Minimalist clothes are not meant to be worn once, but every day.

This concept is reminiscent of the capsule wardrobe, a trend that suggests keeping around thirty garments in your dressing room for simple, effective looks. Priority is given to quality shapes, colors and fabrics, so that your pieces show off the refined woman you are.

 

Choosing colors and materials 

When we think of a chic minimalist dressing room for summer, we imagine sober colors like white, beige and black. These colors can be combined to create a monochrome total look. What could be more refined than a white top paired with white straight-cut pants? Pairing black with your outfit is a must if you want to wear a brightly colored garment. Beige, on the other hand, is a neutral departure from traditional black and white, a soft color for summer looks that's been very much on trend in recent months.

Materials are very important to the success of minimalist chic. They must be of the highest quality, so as not to detract from the elegance of the outfit. For summer, opt for cotton. Cotton is breathable and lightweight, perfect for sunny days. If the weather turns cooler in the evening, wear a thin wool sweater over your shoulders. 

 

Basics for a minimalist, chic summer look

If you're not sure which pieces to adopt this summer to create a minimalist and elegant dressing room, we're going to help you by listing the summer pieces to get : 

• shirt 
• pants
• dress 
• blazer 
• shoes 
• accessories 
• jewelry

With 4 pieces of each garment, i.e. shirt, pants, dress and blazer, you've got the basics to match all your outfits. Each garment should be purchased in the three colors mentioned above: black, white and beige. Choose straight cuts and quality fabrics. The same goes for shoes and accessories: sober colors and quality materials are to be preferred. 

Minimalism in jewelry once again means favoring noble materials, such as silver and gold. You can add style to your ensembles with original jewelry, to bring a modern touch to your look.

 

Minimalist and chic outfit ideas for summer 

Once you know which pieces to buy, it's important to have a few ideas in mind to bring your minimalist dressing room into the limelight. 

The refined, casual look

A blue or white shirt with slightly rolled-up sleeves, tucked into blue jeans, is both classic and modern. The addition of an elegant black bag, wedge sandals and gold jewelry completes this warm-weather look. 

The white dress, the summer wardrobe

The white dress, with V-neck and three-quarter sleeves, is the minimalist element of your summer wardrobe. For a more elegant evening look, combine it with pumps and a black blazer. 

Classic, essential pants 

Beyond tailored or cigarette pants, you can choose high-waisted pants with a flared cut and buttons with two lines of three buttons at the waist. This piece will add style to your look, and can be complemented with a white shirt.

Add a touch of fashion 

Even with a minimalist style, you can keep up with fashion and break away from the hyper-classic look. To do this, jewelry and accessories, especially bags, provide a modern and original touch. Drop earrings or a bag with a rounded shape are very fashionable, especially for summer. 

A minimalist, elegant dressing room makes it easy to create outfits with just a few pieces. A focus on quality materials is essential for a refined look, especially in neutral colors.
