How I Created the Minimalist Wardrobe of My Dreams

Cultivating a minimalist wardrobe isn’t supposed to be hard, but there are definitely some tricks to finding minimalist clothing that you’ll want to know! Here are our tried and true tips in partnership with adidas.

Minimalist Wardrobe Essentials

Having been a content creator for close to 10 years (seriously, where does the time go?), there’s no denying that my personal style has evolved over the past decade. From starting out as a full blown fashion blogger shooting daily looks around campus in college to scratching the itch to expand into travel blogging and start new entrepreneurial journeys outside of digital publication, I guess you could say my sense of style is just one of many things that have shifted somewhere between 2014 and 2024.

It’s a bit odd to look back on old posts and realize just how much has changed. Trust me, when you’re starting a business with zero dollars and a pipe dream at 18, you have no idea that you’re still going to be at it when you’re 28. 

You also have no idea how different your life will look in 10 years time. Aside from the bigger more momentous changes however (such as getting married, having a child, etc.), I would say that the shift in my personal style is a substantial one. It’s profoundly affected the types of content that appears on this website (not so many #OOTD’s anymore, huh?) as well as the trajectory of my business.

In full transparency, my daily uniform isn’t the polka dot mini dresses and edgy leather jackets I was sharing in my 20s anymore. When the opportunity to work with adidas again came up recently though, I thought maybe it was the perfect time to share a peek into what I’m actually wearing these days.

Because hey, #relatable content is in right now…isn’t it?

So, without further ado, let’s get into my personal style evolution and how over the years I have created a minimalist wardrobe that works for my lifestyle (and quite frankly, I think will work for a lot of people).

From Fashion Go-Getter to Mompreneur 

I’m guessing I’m not the first parent in the history of, well, parenting, to experience a style evolution after having a child. Pre-baby, I always worried that I would be the parent that let themselves go. That I wouldn’t take time for myself and I’d lose my sense of who I am in the chaos of motherhood.

To be honest, though? I don’t know if I’ve ever been more myself than I am right now.

It’s been a long time (not just since I became a parent) since I’ve felt the pressure to “get dressed” every day. And by “get dressed” I don’t mean that I lounge around in my pajamas all day long, haha. I just mean that I don’t feel the need to necessarily “dress up” or create a new fashion forward, innovative look on a daily basis.

No, I think in my later twenties I’ve finally found a daily uniform that works. One that’s stylish, figure flattering, and…casual (there, I said it!).

The funny thing is, that daily uniform has kind of been there on the back burner all along.

adidas Essentials: The Epitome of Minimalist Chic

Minimalism isn’t just a fashion trend; it’s a lifestyle philosophy. Let’s celebrate quality over quantity, embrace the beauty of simplicity, and stop overthinking.

So, what better brand to gravitate towards than adidas? From classic striped pants to versatile tops, adidas pieces became the cornerstone of my minimalist wardrobe, effortlessly blending style with functionality.

How to Curate Your Own Minimalist Wardrobe

Now, let’s talk, about how you can curate your very own minimalist wardrobe that reflects your unique lifestyle and personality. Here are some practical tips to get you started:

Define Your Style Essentials

Begin by identifying your style essentials – those timeless pieces that form the foundation of your wardrobe. For me, it’s all about versatility and comfort, which is why I gravitate towards classic pieces like adidas slip-on sneakers and cozy hoodies. These items seamlessly transition from day to night, effortlessly blending style and functionality.

Embrace Neutral Hues

Embracing a neutral color palette is key to creating a cohesive minimalist wardrobe. Opt for timeless shades like black, white, gray, and navy that effortlessly complement each other and can be mixed and matched with ease. Pieces like adidas essentials tees and tracksuits are perfect for building a versatile wardrobe that can take you from the gym to brunch with friends.

Invest in Quality Basics

When building a minimalist wardrobe, quality reigns supreme. Invest in well-made basics that stand the test of time and can be worn season after season. Look for pieces made from high-quality materials like organic cotton and sustainable fabrics. adidas offers a range of essentials like premium cotton t-shirts and joggers that happen to be some of my favorite go-to’s!

Prioritize Comfort

Comfort is non-negotiable when it comes to minimalist clothing. Choose pieces that feel like a second skin and allow you to move freely throughout your day. adidas slip-on sneakers are a must-have for anyone with an active lifestyle – they provide all-day comfort and support without sacrificing style.

Opt for Versatile Silhouettes:

Versatility is key when curating a minimalist wardrobe. Choose pieces with clean lines and simple silhouettes that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. A classic adidas hoodie paired with jeans and sneakers is perfect for running errands or lounging at home, while a sleek tracksuit can take you from the gym to coffee with friends in style.

Closing Thoughts

As I navigate the ever-evolving landscape of motherhood and entrepreneurship, one thing remains constant: my love for adidas. Their timeless designs, combined with comfort and versatility, make them the perfect choice for my minimalist wardrobe.

Whether I’m chasing after my little one or attending a business meeting, adidas has me covered. I hope this guide has inspired you to embrace simplicity and elevate your style with adidas essentials. 

Here’s to stepping into the world with confidence and comfort, one stylish adidas piece at a time.
