Minimalist

Sometimes less is more and this summer trend lends itself nicely to warm weather. Sometimes you have to look back to basics and focus on clean lines, a streamline look and crisp natural color palettes. Welcome to the no-nonsense approach to style!

A minimalist style doesn't force you to think so hard. Forget mixing prints, color-blocking, or worrying about what pattern looks best on you. This  summer trend is simple, yet stunning. Start with colors such as nude, white, champagne, gray, or black. All of these uphold the minimalist trend standards. Shift your focus on crisp construction and architectural shapes.The splashes of color are minimal and are replaced with edgy geographic shapes, texture and boldness.

Keep it simple! This style is throw on and go. A white or black dress with a v-neck and cinched at the waist with a neutral belt will do just fine! Keep accessories dainty. Small stud earrings and a thin chain necklace or one simple longer necklace. Shoes are easy because these colors can all be combined for maximum effect. Create as much or as little shape as you want. From a pencil skirt to over-sized knit sweater and shorts, the soft colors are what hold the look together. Don't hesitate to layer the pieces or opt for forms of texture through pleating, organza or a sheer panel or application within the outfit.
