In my heart are two wolves battling for dominance, and like all siblings, they take turns winning. Their names are minimalism and maximalism. These days, minimalism is putting up its best fight.
Minimalism is often misunderstood as unfun, boring, uninspired. I resent this. Basics are really fun, and they’re only as boring as you let them be. There’s no reason for t-shirts to be unstyled, for monochrome looks to lack texture and visual interest, for clean lines and simple forms to look serious and without personality.

This year, the street style at Copenhagen Fashion Week has resonated with me a lot. There is a ton of variation, but the big color story is blues, browns, reds, whites, and blacks.

Underwear has been one of the biggest trends this year, both on the runway and on celebrities. I know it’s scary, but come onnnnn! It looks hot.
It’s nothing new that brown has become the new black (kind of), but did you know that baby blue is the new white? This color combo is so elite, and a suit and shirt is the perfect application.
This look is so exciting to me. Personally I love that capris are in right now, I know there are mixed reviews, but if you’re not so into it, look at this adorable outfit and reconsider. The socks with heels are also such a sweet part of this look.
I absolutely adore this look. It’s sexy but casual about it. That’s the power of a slip and trench.
This is such a good look, especially because the a Canadian tuxedo rarely gets a remix. The blue striped shirt underneath adds this visual difference while keeping the look uniform and monochrome.
When she’s not performing for sold-out stadiums in sparkly bodysuits and gowns, Taylor Swift opts for a simple summer-style aesthetic.
