I’m currently musing over minimalist styling and androgynous tailoring. I find everyday styling easier when I have a more restricted colour palette to choose from. It’s time for me to invest in more muted tones (something which I thought I’d never say) and focus more on building up a good collection of staple pieces. This is something I already started to do a few months ago and since then, although the amount of clothing I purchase has massively reduced, I feel that my style has actually somewhat improved.
There are still many tweaks I want to make with my wardrobe. The clear out appears to be never ending but at least I finally find myself gradually becoming able to let go of more and more ‘unnecessary’ items from within my wardrobe.
I aim for a wardrobe consisting of more mix and match pieces, focusing on quality rather than quantity, with a good selection of garments that I truly love to wear.

What type of styles do you like to draw inspiration from? Do you have any style goals?

I love minimalist styling as well, neutral colour palettes really inspire me and often I think the more simplistic the better.

I’ve definitely been looking at minimalist and androgynous tailoring for a while now and it’s easily one of my favourite wardrobe styles. Greys and nudes are fantastic, but black takes it home for me. These are wonderful pieces, Samio!

fun picks! I like those sneakers!
I am all about the minimalistic style right now, and people make fun of me all the time because I don’t like to wear color! I think it’s much easier to mix and match pieces if they are neutral and that way they never go out of style! I also travel a lot so it makes packing a whole lot easier.
Grea post! Love the blog 🙂

This is exactly what I’m thinking. My next trip is in Feb and I’m thinking it’s going to be a whole lot easier to pack now that I have more neutral pieces to mix and match – As apposed to previously when several garments only went with a limited amount of things and so it meant packing strategically would take forever!

Yes! I love when I finally get in the mood to clear out the closet. It’s hard to let go but isn’t it worth it to let new goodness in? 🙂
