Stylist tips
Minimalism has been at the peak of popularity for several seasons in a row. Clean lines, neutral shades, basic items — all of this is undoubtedly stylish, beautiful, and practical. But if you feel that austere simplicity has ceased to inspire you and you want more brightness, this does not mean that you have to completely abandon minimalism. Just add a few accents, and your wardrobe will sparkle in a new way.

The easiest way to liven up a minimalist look is to add one bright color. It could be shoes, loafers, or a bag. The main secret is to keep the rest of your outfit as simple and basic as possible. This way, the accent will work for you and not overwhelm your look.
For example:
• classic jacket + white T-shirt + jeans + red pumps;
• monochrome suit + bag in a rich shade.

If one color isn't enough, try a print. Animal motifs are especially relevant in the fall — tiger, snake, zebra, or leopard. To avoid overdoing it, choose only one element: pants, a skirt, or an accessory.
A successful combination: leopard pants + basic top + bright shoes or bag.

Sometimes all you need is an unusual bag or a bright belt to make your look more interesting. It is important to remember the rule of balance: if the bag is eye-catching, the shoes should be neutral. And vice versa. This way, your look will not appear forced.

For the more daring, you can choose a brightly colored coat. But if you're still hesitant, it's better to start with more affordable items — T-shirts, long sleeves, or pants in rich shades. This will allow you to “try on” new colors without serious expense.

If you want something special, consider vintage items. You can find unique pieces with character: bags, jewelry, or jackets with unusual cuts. Vintage adds individuality and pairs well with basic items.

Also, if bright colors are not your thing, you can add interest to your look with textures. Simply choose materials that contrast with each other: leather, knitwear, denim, corduroy, tweed, or silk. By combining different textures, even in a monochrome palette, you can create a multidimensional and stylish look without the need for color accents.

Being tired of minimalism does not mean you have to say goodbye to it. Just add color, prints, or accessories to your usual looks, and your style will shine brighter while maintaining its harmony.
