Everyone's basic minimal wardrobe will look different; what one person loves to wear, another will hate. Telling you what you should buy makes little sense, instead I'm sharing the basics of my own minimal wardrobe to give you an idea of how to create the building blocks of your own.
However, the basics principles remain to the same for all: versatile everyday basics, investment in quality over quality, smart timeless pieces, and seasonally appropriate or adaptable choices for layering.
