Silk Shirt

A silk shirt is an elegant addition to this business-casual look. It softens the structured blazer and adds a touch of femininity. 

Silk shirts are a timeless and luxurious addition to any wardrobe.

They are known for their soft, smooth texture and delicate sheen that exudes elegance and sophistication.

The fabric is also lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for all seasons.

A Quiet Luxury Belt:

Quiet luxury brands are transcending the industry by creating unexpected pieces that stay true to their core values: quality design and craftsmanship so fine it lasts beyond trends and seasons!

This is why I highly recommend investing in a belt like this Saint Laurent one.

It may seem like a small accessory, but it can elevate any outfit and add a touch of luxury to your wardrobe.

Blue Washed Jeans:

A simple way to ensure you achieve that effortless minimalist style look is by pairing your favorite clean blue jeans with 100% cotton t-shirts, a sleek belt, and a pair of feminine sunglasses.

Editor’s Note: 

Skip the fast fashion fads and stick to the basics. Creating a basic capsule wardrobe is an effortless way to curate timeless styles that are functional for your lifestyle, no matter the season.

Trench coats are a classic capsule wardrobe staple you need in your wardrobe. I highly recommend investing in the Totême collection trench that you see in the photo above, or if your looking for something more budget-friendly, Massimo Dutti is another chic option without sacrificing quality.

I like a little stretch in my black skinny jeans – not only is it a comfortable way to wear your denim all day, but also transition them into a chic winter legging look that I wear with knee-high boots and an oversized chunky knit sweater.

Shoes:

These beige Bottega Veneta Stretch Sandals have been on my wish list for almost two years and pair beautifully with any minimal outfit.

Let’s not forget about the hottest minimalist fashion trend of the season—integrating different shades of brown—like this luxe Bottega Veneta ‘it’ bag. 

Tonal dressing in your favorite hues is another way of creating minimalist outfits that complement your personal style. This cotton blue blouse is a stylish take on the dull denim-on-denim look.

A slim or straight-leg silhouette is flattering on all body types and as you can see here they can be styled in multiple ways.

Classic Loafer: 

Whether you opt for a pair of Saint Laurent or Celine loafers, these are sleek investments that dress up any office workwear outfit.

One of the best things about straight-leg jeans is that they flatter all body types.

They have a slightly looser fit than skinny jeans, which makes them more forgiving and comfortable to wear.

Plus, they give off a cool and laid-back vibe while still looking polished.

Pointed-Toe Ankle Boots:

I love these Veronica Beard Pointed-Toe Ankle Boots because they’re the perfect everyday boot.
