A month ago I interned at Lovely.Asia The company has a fashion site and I was one of the fashion writers. I wrote a few articles on fashion,travelling,athleisure,nails and hair.
One of the articles I wrote was on minimalistic fashion and I thought I'd post it here.

Life is not black and white but sometimes
fashion is...
Minimalistic fashion is characterised by clean
lines and neutral palettes that might seem a little dull, but when done
properly, is totally refreshing! We all need minimalistic staples that can be
easily paired with similar pieces, or even with pops of pattern and colour!
Here are some pieces you need in your wardrobe now:

Outfit:
For a more casual look, pair the trousers with sneakers or even loafers. To
maximise the effect of this style, opt for a high-waisted pair, as they will

Tips On Nailing the Minimalistic Style:
●
Opt for good quality pieces that will last for a
longer time. Simple designs reveal poor quality fabric or tailoring even more
than complicated designs.
●
Shy away from bold accessories such as chunky
necklaces. Opt instead for gold or silver accessories.
