Minimalism has taken the fashion world by storm, and we’re here to guide you on how to get in on the action. But, there’s more to a minimalist look than just simple pieces and unbusy accessories.
What is minimalism?
Though it tops the list as one of today’s most popular trends, can you say you actually know what minimalism means?
The word minimalism wasn’t expressly popular until the 1960s, when creatives began removing metaphors and hidden meanings from their artworks in order to shift focus on white space and the materials they use.
With the break of the new millennium came a rise in popularity of the minimalism that we see now. The idea of simplicity is ages old by this point, but the reemphasis of the “less is more” lifestyle became popular with bloggers and media influencers of the 2000s.
Today, minimalism has become an elastic concept that is generally associated with plainness and stripping away the unnecessary.
