Less is more.
Ever heard of the Pareto’s 80/20 principle? Only 20% of the clothing you own you wear 80% of the time. The remaining 80% of them you wear 20% of the time. Having understanding that, it is worth the time to revisit your closet again and maybe de-clutter those that take up 80% of your closet space.
Throughout history, some of the most iconic and stylish individuals have been known for their love of basic pieces. Think of Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress, James Dean’s classic white T-shirt and jeans, or Coco Chanel’s elegant tweed jacket. These fashion icons understood the power of simplicity and how it can leave a lasting impression.
There’s something comforting and enduring about the simplicity and elegance of classic, basic pieces. So, I am not here to tell you what’s in and out, instead, I want to help activate your creativity. Being basic isn’t a style compromise; it’s an invitation to explore the beauty of simplicity, invest in quality, and express your individuality in a way that transcends passing trends.
The next time you open your closet door or are shopping for your wardrobe or curating a look, don’t underestimate the allure of the basics, because they truly are the cornerstone of timeless style. Being basic is anything but boring.
