Immaculate tailoring, uncomplicated staples and impeccably cut coats — fashion is at the golden age of minimalism as new designer brands opt for a pared back approach to dressing.

Tonal dressing and classic neutral shades in simplified cuts have quietly taken over the fashion spotlight, as the minimalist ’90s style is at the forefront of many Instagram swipes. Simplified pared-back designer clothing is at the height of style, a welcomed change from the usual flash logo’s seen at fashion weeks, all thanks to smaller emerging brands, bringing the calmer more subdued world of fashion to our minds and into our wardrobes. Daniel Lee’s first collection at Bottega Veneta was the first to get the neutral novices interested in various shades of beige and it has been a hit on the fashion streets ever since. However, we’re looking to newcomers The Frankie Shop for affordable everyday essentials from oversized camel coats come winter, to lose hemmed dresses and effortless tailoring — perfect for trans-seasonal dressing. Structured sleeved dresses and impeccably cut shirts in beautiful unexpected fabrics are our go-to at LA-based label Co, bringing a sense of romance to the simplicity. Whereas asymmetrical silhouettes with a sporty feel at Sacai make every day layering seamless with a subtle dose of drama, hailing from fabric combinations and pattern techniques. Smaller brands bring more diversity to the market with understated yet experimental approaches to design, bringing us elegant effortless dressing as we match those all-important essentials and wardrobe fail-safes that work for any occasion. As the world takes a breath, forcing a natural shift into a more refined wardrobe, we take a step back and think about the pieces we want to invest in, resulting in not only versatile but timeless staples to last a lifetime but a conscious mind. Sustainability was at the forefront of designers’ mind for SS21, collections were pared back, fewer looks were created, and trends were few and far between. All in a bid to simplify fashion, reduce waste and focus more on wearability. Creating your personal wardrobe capsule that you use on repeat can provide the foundations of any pull-together look, keep it classic and simplify your aesthetic to elevate your on and off-duty style.
