Minimalist-themed feeds have been up and running for quite a while now, and they're only growing more dominant. The million-dollar question, though, is: Why?
The answer is simple. When it comes to outfits and even daily essentials, a lot of us would often resort to something relatively simple and pleasing to the eye. And we think that's exactly the main reason why this aesthetic has become such a trend—there's beauty in cool, classic simplicity.
If you aim to hop on this aesthetic, we’ve got you covered! Allow us to share with you the 10 items you need to nail the neutral, minimalist cool girl aesthetic, proven by influencers.
10 Wardrobe Essentials to Achieve A Cool, Minimalist Aesthetic:
1. Hoodie + Joggers
When it comes to comfort, little can beat this classic combo. One can stand out from the crowd by accessorizing this loungey set with their favorite necklace, or by matching it with a sophisticated black bag and chunky slippers.
2. Chunky Slippers
Just take a look at how these girls rock fun and cleverly-shaped chunky slippers to complement their cool monochromatic outfits. Pro tip: Chunky slippers work best with laid-back, loose-fitting pieces!
