The Minimalist: Less Is More

The minimalist isn’t here for bells and whistles. He’s the guy who looks sharp without ever trying too hard. His style is all about clean lines, simple fits, and a “keep it tidy” mindset.

Think Scandinavian fashion for inspiration, brands like COS, Arket, or Acne Studios. Lots of neutral colours like black, white, grey, navy, and a pop of olive or beige. No busy prints or loud logos. Just classic staples: a plain tee or a crisp oxford shirt, tailored trousers or dark jeans, and a pair of white sneakers or sleek loafers.

The minimalist’s closet is basically a capsule wardrobe, everything works together and nothing feels extra. Shopping is about quality, not quantity. He’ll happily pay more for a sweater that lasts years instead of grabbing a fast-fashion trend.

People sometimes think the minimalist is playing it safe, but honestly, it takes real confidence to keep things this simple. It’s a vibe that says, “I know what works for me.”

If you want to dress like a minimalist, start by clearing out the clutter. Pick well-made basics, stick to a simple colour palette, and remember if you don’t absolutely love it, you don’t need it.

That’s the minimalist way.
