Today we're going to be discussing minimalism in fashion.
And to begin, I thought I would share with you the general philosophy of minimalism in one sentence.
Simplicity eliminates distraction.
That is a quote that I could imagine a mom having in their kitchen.
You know, those, like, corny plaques that moms love to get from TJ Maxx?
Listen, my mom and I both used to love them.
We would literally collect them from TJ Maxx.
I had one in my room growing up that was like, live a lot, love a lot, laugh a lot, play a lot, scream a lot, dance a lot, do a lot.
You know what I'm saying?
But anyway, there is a mom out there right now that has, simplicity eliminates distraction on a fake, distressed wood plaque somewhere in their house.
I just want to get that out of the way.
I don't want to ignore the elephant in the room.
But regardless of how corny that quote might be and how obvious that quote might seem, it actually is kind of profound and true.
Simplicity really does eliminate distraction.
And that's kind of the underlying philosophy of minimalism across the board in every category, whether it's lifestyle or fashion or design or whatever.
That's sort of the key theme and takeaway of minimalism.
The reason why minimalism has been on my radar recently is because I feel like we're coming out of this era of maximalism.
You know, the complete opposite.
Over the past few years, we've experienced maximalism in the form of consumerism and in the form of design and fashion trends.
I've discussed this before, but ever since TikTok blew up, the trend cycles have gotten so much faster.
