This is how you create a minimalist wardrobe

If you also have a full wardrobe but often don't know what to wear, then your wardrobe is probably one big mess that means you can't see the forest for the trees. Time to do something about this, and what better than to opt for a minimalist wardrobe. This gives you a real personal style, you spend less money and you buy consciously. If you have no idea how to go about it, here are some tips.

Clean up
In a messy closet you don't quickly see what you have. Pull out all the stops and get rid of things you don't want, need, or wear, then see what's left. This creates space and allows you to start over.

Develop a color palette
A defined color palette helps build a cohesive minimalist wardrobe. This maximizes portability and allows you to use it in purchasing decisions. Not sure where to start? Then choose at least three colors:one neutral and two accents.

Consider every purchase
Buy less, choose well, and make sure it lasts. Rather buy fewer pieces of higher quality, only buy clothes that you really love and will wear.

Don't look at fashion blogs and magazines
The fashion blogs and magazines show you the latest trends and seasonal fashion, and they do not help you discover and develop your personal style.

Quality over quantity
A minimalist wardrobe is always focused on putting quality over quantity. Finding the perfect pieces is all part of developing a personal style and building a practical closet for your lifestyle.

Buy for your lifestyle
Choose clothes based on your lifestyle and not that of others. When you try something on, it's about how it looks and how you feel. Are you going to wear it regularly?

Avoid the sale
The sale is useful to buy something at a low price. Unfortunately, what really happens is that we tend to buy things we don't need. So avoid these if you're not strong enough to buy only what you need.
