Minimalist Fashion: The Art of a Simple, Sustainable Closet

07.01.2025

Capsule wardrobes are in and for good reason. A 30-piece minimalist wardrobe reduces decision fatigue, shopping costs, and your carbon footprint. In fact, studies show that people wear 20% of their clothes 80% of the time according to WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme), so why not make that 20% your best?

How to Build Yours:

Minimalist fashion is about curating a closet that works for your lifestyle with fewer but better pieces. It means:

  • Start with neutral tones and classic silhouettes.

  • Prioritize multi-seasonal pieces like organic cotton tees and modal trousers.

  • Invest in layering items like the bamboo knit wrap or linen shirt-dress.

Why it matters: A 2023 study by Fashion Revolution found that people who adopt a minimalist wardrobe reduce their clothing purchases by up to 45%, which directly lowers carbon emissions and waste.

Minimalism isn’t about restriction, it's about freedom. And UNUMSHOP is here to help you embrace that.
