The Minimalist Wardrobe: How to Love All Your Clothes
Minimalism began as an art form in the 1960s and has since been become a lifestyle. You can apply minimalist to any part of life, but committing to a minimalist wardrobe is the easiest place to start.
Having more clothes often means we enjoy them less. We have a full closet, yet nothing to wear. Minimalists subscribe to the idea that by owning less, we free up the time, energy, and money to get the most out of life. As Marie Kondo would say, we should only wear clothing that “sparks joy.”
The more intentional we are about what we keep in our closets, the freer we are to seek fulfillment.
The Benefits of a Minimalist Wardrobe
Minimalism encourages us to invest in things we love, instead of accumulating things we like. When you have fewer options, you force yourself into a positive mindset. And we all know the feeling we get when we put on a special outfit. Imagine feeling that every day.
Throwing away your clothing may seem like a daunting task. These are just a few reasons why it’s worth it:
- Tidier closet: you no longer have to dig through items you don’t wear
- Increased confidence: when all your clothes are your best, you feel good no matter what you put on
