A new look at minimalism

Today we are hard to surprise with the intricacies of cut and unusual colors. But while some designers are still trying to invent new styles and directions, many return to basics and begin to transform the classics. It is in this atmosphere that the minimalism about which this article will be discussed is experiencing its second birth.

All genius in simplicity

Minimalists urge us not to succumb to the temptation to overdo with color and accessories. They create clothes that will not attract too much attention, but that's where the beauty lies. The whole point becomes clear only on closer examination, when you can see the ideal lines and perfect material.

Who will approach the image in the style of minimalism?

In order to feel comfortable in this manner, you need a special attitude. Minimalism is the style of mature and self-confident natures who want to drop excessive pomp and go to the point. Very often he prefers creative personalities (from artists and artistes to managers of large companies, where creative work can not be dispensed with).

But if on the soul and moral qualities this style does not suit everyone, then there are no age or social limitations here.

How to create an image in the style of minimalism?

As practice shows, it is rather difficult to create a simple, concise and at the same time luxurious image. You are between two fires: on the one hand - boring, and on the other - excessive extravagance. In order not to go to extremes, it is enough to observe the basic rules established by minimalism:

  1. The accent, which focuses on designers working in the style of minimalism - the quality of materials and smooth lines.
  2. Preference is given to natural fabrics made according to the latest technologies or, conversely, according to the old traditions of weaving. This can be silk, and specially processed wool, and flax, etc.
  3. Perhaps the main word that can characterize this style is thoughtfulness. Avoid congestion with detail or color.
  4. On the color palette should talk specifically. Most often, supporters of minimalism prefer such classic colors as black, white, sand, etc. However, recently designers who have decided to modify minimalism in its classical sense, use all sorts of bright shades, as well as warm pastel colors.
  5. By the way, many mistakenly believe that minimalism is a style, contrary in nature to the fashionable in this season multilayered. However, the latter is present in minimalism, but due to the right combination of colors and forms creates an image that is perceived as a single whole.
  6. If we talk about shoes, then there are the same laws as in clothes: minimum details and maximum quality. Most often, preference is given to leather fashion shoes in men's style or elegant boots with a stable heel.

Clothes of the future

Clothing in the style of minimalism generates simultaneously several diametrically opposite associations. The first of them is related to the simplicity and smoothness of the lines, which bring something closer to something natural and natural. And the second - this clothing is as if brought into our world from space or the future with its new technologies and moral principles. This association is especially bright when you look at the latest collections of Haute couture, made in the style of minimalism.

But while we can not look into the future, we can only enjoy this style and wait for its modifications in the next seasons.
