Although I agree with Anuschka's general explanation, it can be hard to stop yourself from buying things that you probably wouldn't need, impulse buying was my biggest problem. Minimalistic can mean different things to everyone, some may wear bright colours all the time, or prints or only wear black, it all depends on the individual and what they see as their signature style.
Afer understanding minimalism a bit more, I think I need to reassess my wardrobe again. My personal style hasn't changed much throughout the years but I have a habit of holding onto things that have no use to me now. I am very much less inclined to follow trends as to when I was working around fashion, but having said that if something fits into my style, I'm willing to try. I have a very casual approach to clothes and I'm aware of what suits me and what doesn't. I like comfort and practicality, I'm not a girly girl and hardly ever buy occasion wear now. Clothes for me need to serve multiple purposes, this was the same for maternity wear too, I was very reluctant to buy too many whilst pregnant.
To conclude minimalism is figuring out what your personal style is and not having the urge to impulse buy, it's about investing in pieces you would wear over and over again and not being influenced too much by what you should wear according to trends and others.

If I add colour to my wardrobe, it's simple and not overly complicated and has to work well into my everyday casual style. Evening looks are pretty much the same apart from the rare occasions where I wear heels.
What is your minimalistic style?
