Nowadays, minimalist fashion style is becoming a popular trend for women, especially office ladies. Simple but extremely modern and elegant, minimalist fashion can make you stylish even without wearing too many colorful colors, cumbersome details clothes.

However, simple as that, but not to be minimalist fashionista is not easy. You will need a little flair and a few tips to dress minimalist without making yourself dull.

Join Wellanda to learn tips to help you dress up an impressive minimalist and catch the trend.

1. Choose simple items

If you are pursuing a minimalist fashion style, you need to wear as simple as possible. Let's break up temporarily with colorful motifs and cumbersome accessories to follow the minimalist trend. The simpler the outfit is, the more beautiful it is, and the easier it is to put the items together.

The minimalist style should only have 2 to 3 monochrome colors on the overall outfit. Every accessory, border pattern, lace is minimized by fashion followers as much as possible under the principle of "less is more."

2. Declutter your closet

The key to decluttering a minimalist wardrobe is balancing the number of new purchases and the number of existing ones to ensure you don't buy too many duplicates, poor quality, and unnecessary things.

Project 333: It's an exciting challenge for you to do. Rules required: You pack away most of your wardrobe, taking out only 33 items to use in 3 months. These 33 items include clothing, shoes, and jewelry; Excludes underwear, pajamas, indoor wear, and sports toys. Within three months, you use only within these 33 items, do not buy any new things, and do not take back the old ones worn. After three months, you reassess your closet to make further additions, purchase new ones, take out second-hand goods, or take away. After the first three months, repeat the cycle for the next three months.

The minimalist game: Two bloggers on The Minimalists create the minimalist challenge initiated each day of the month. Rules not only apply to clothing but also household items: every day, you will discard at least one thing, the first day to remove one item, the second day to remove two pieces, the third day to remove three items, and so on until the end of the month. This challenge is suitable for those who are new to Minimalism, do not know where to start, and want to be motivated to reduce the amount of furniture they own.

It was an easy game at first. Anyone can purify a few items. But it grows significantly more challenging by the second week when you are forced to throw away more than a dozen things a day. And it continues to become more difficult as the month progresses.

Hang clothes: Switching from putting un-dressed clothes into suitcases to hanging up all clothes helps you control your wardrobe. Hanging clothes on racks gives you a broader view of what you own, from winter to summer, from immediate wear to event wear. From there, you will easily make the decision to combine clothes, buy additional items, or discard old ones you no longer want to wear. Hang on your daily outfits, jackets, bags, scarves, and belts.

3. Define your color

Minimalism does not mean you wear black and white. It is merely plain clothes, monochrome: red, cobalt blue, purple, and so on. You can apply them but only use a maximum of 2-3 colors in the same outfit. In particular, there is a neutral tone to "alkaline" less than the remaining sounds.

4. Do not overdo with accessories

If you choose the minimalist style, don't overdo it with accessories, such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, or sunglasses. Accessories should only be a small handbag or simple high heels, that's enough.

5. Do not use perfume

We always thought that perfumes are made of pretty things like flowers, sunshine, and rainbows. But have you ever thought of what precisely those beautiful perfume or cologne made of?

As it turns out, perfume is full of hidden dangerous chemicals, and current laws do not require companies to disclose them. Neurotoxins, hormonal disrupting chemicals called phthalates, and harmful synthetic musk are common ingredients. But because companies may claim perfume as a trade secret, you've won and found them listed on the label. Worse yet, very few of the thousands of ingredients used in perfumes have been tested for human safety. Their effects on the skin, brain, respiratory system and other organs are unknown.

According to research cited in Kate Grenville's "The Case Against Fragrance," one-third of perfume users experience symptoms like headaches, asthma, and skin rashes due to their sensitivity to ingredients. of perfume. A study in 2014 found that perfume scent is a major cause of migraines for about three-quarters of women.

Previous studies have shown that more than 95% of the chemicals in synthetic fragrances are derived from petrochemicals. These chemicals include benzene derivatives, aldehydes, phthalates, and a host of other toxins known to cause cancer, nervous system disorders, and allergies.

Perfumes also contain phthalates that disrupt the activity of hormones, reduce sperm count and cause fetal deformities, breast cancer, etc. Some substances such as xylene musk are banned in countries such as the USA, Germany, Japan.

Ravi Ramalingam, who leads the California Air Resources Committee, said he was not surprised that perfumes produce more emissions than cars and trucks. There are tens of thousands of chemicals in consumer products that researchers have yet to identify specific compounds that can form ozone or PM 2.5 fine particles. "We're still looking for opportunities to reduce emissions from consumer products," - He added.
