As you build your minimalist wardrobe, here are a few things to remember: There is no set number of clothing articles that qualify as minimalist. While one person may have as little as ten items, you may be minimal at 30. It’s not about the number of items. A minimalist wardrobe can be clean and simple and still be fun and colorful. Minimalism is about getting to know your tastes separate from societal pressures. It’s about only owning what you love, whether or not it’s trendy. Ridding yourself of all the excess will wondrously make more room in your mind as well. To purge is good.
