<\/a><\/p>\nIt may be\u00a0February already, but the time is never\u00a0too late to reinvent yourself and create a brand new persona to match your newfound goals.<\/p>\n
A\u00a0current trend in 2017\u00a0that seems to be continuously returning to the fashion scene is Minimalism. One of the best ways to boost your inner confidence is through looking classic and fresh. Your appearance has the ability to affect your mindset and vice versa.<\/p>\n
Minimalist simplicity\u00a0and clear cut fabrics\u00a0portray a\u00a0mature and natural look.<\/p>\n
Using limited accessories and a small range of colours is a\u00a0sophisticated & must have look for the spring frost. Unclutter your style and closet to keep your favourite clothing and accessories at hand.<\/p>\n
Minimalism had an original breakthrough in the 1940\u2019s and early 50\u2019s within the post wartime era. The style was born out of\u00a0rationing materials and styles that were more utilitarian. Yet, somehow, this trend always returns to the fashion front.<\/p>\n The 60\u2019s brought on a twist\u00a0to the trend with simple shapes and shift dresses.<\/p>\n The 80\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0introduced androgynous & gender ambiguous designs through\u00a0Japanese designers such as Yohji Yamamoto.<\/p>\n The 90\u2019s embraced Calvin Klein and his American Minimalism – think knee length skirts and clothes fitted to the slimmer frames. Yves Saint Laurent paid homage to the look in their Autumn\/ Winter 2008 collection\u00a0with the motto \u201cLess is More.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2010 Vogue described minimalism as \u201csimplicity and luxury combined for an\u00a0elegant effect: a the new paired-down chic.” These clothes are anything but attention-grabbing, and that’s where their beauty lies.<\/p>\n Historical fashion always reinvents itself, and we have seen many styles come and go through the years, each time with a new modern touch.<\/p>\n Singers such as Xia and Solange remind us that feminine shapes do not have to bear all. With the weather still rather crisp, it can be comforting to know that covering-up is the new sexy. Forget less is more, “more is enough!” To steal this style at a high street price, look to Zara, Massimo Dutti and Mango (all crowd favourites). These stores are very much affordable whilst emulating high fashion & elegance.<\/p>\n Start this year with some simple chic.
