Whether it’s home decor, the “clean girl” trend circulating on Tik Tok or the simple, polished clothing offered by brands and retailers both big and small, minimalism is one of the hottest aesthetic movements today. For the fashion industry in particular, many consumers are starting to adopt a “less is more” mindset, given fast fashion’s negative impact on the environment and labor practices—and brands embracing minimalism are winning over these shoppers due to the longevity and versatility of minimalist-style clothing.

Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean
A simple pair of denim with a great cut and wash is a staple in a minimalist’s closet. The Curve Love Ultra High Rise 90s Straight Jean from Abercrombie & Fitch, available in women’s sizes 23 through 37, looks super sleek and flattering on any body type thanks to its high-rise cut that sits at the natural waistline. Although there are a whopping 24 washes to choose from, we’re partial to the dark wash—from white to black, and any color in between, the dark wash will complement any other shade you wear.
H&M Ribbed Mock Turtleneck Sweater
You know what would look great with your vintage Abercrombie jeans? A chic turtleneck sweater. The Ribbed Mock Turtleneck Sweater from H&M is baggy in all the right places and has a hemline that ends right at the waist—perfect for showing off your curves in that stylish pair of denim. Snag it in women’s sizes XS through XXL in one of three colorways—or go hard and buy it in two, or all three, variations.
Abercrombie & Fitch Tailored Wide Leg Pants
Wide-legged trousers are super trendy at the moment, and they’re a great addition to the selection of bottoms in your closet. The masculine, ultra-high-rise styling of Abercrombie & Fitch’s Tailored Wide Leg Pants—available in three colorways in women’s sizes 24 through 33—are not only extremely stylish, but they’re versatile, too. Accentuate your figure by pairing the trousers with a bodysuit, or embrace a more masculine style by donning a looser-fitting tee tucked into the waistband.
Skims Fits Everybody Long-Sleeve Thong Bodysuit
Now that we’ve mentioned a bodysuit, we can’t just leave you high and dry without a recommendation. We’re big fans of Kim Kardashian’s Skims shapewear line, and the Fits Everybody Long-Sleeve Thong Bodysuit, available in women’s sizes XXS through 4X, is a terrific, versatile foundation layer for many fashion-forward spring looks. Dress it up with the trousers recommended above, or have a chic Meghan Markle-inspired moment by pairing it with the 90s-style denim listed earlier on and some simple gold jewelry.
Abercrombie & Fitch Essential Easy Tee
A basic tee is another must in a minimalist’s wardrobe, and Abercrombie & Fitch has nailed the staple item. Their Essential Easy Tee, available in women’s sizes XXS through XXL, offers a flattering cut and loose fit without looking too boxy or baggy. Rock it alone with a pair of jeans, throw a chunky cardigan over top or dress it up with a chic blazer—the versatile item can truly work for almost any vibe you’re going for.
Cami NYC Owen Linen Blazer
Speaking of chic blazers, the silk-and-linen-blend Owen Linen Blazer from Cami NYC is a delectable find. Available in women’s sizes XXS through XL, it’s casual enough for everyday wear while adding relaxed sophistication to your look. Incorporating texture and luxurious fabrics is a great way to level up a minimalist wardrobe, which is why this silky blazer is such a great find. Want a look that is buttoned up without being stuck up? Consider pairing the blazer with the matching shorts.
Abercrombie & Fitch YPB SculptLux Squareneck Active Romper
Abercrombie is killing the minimalist fashion game at the moment (if you can’t tell already), and the sculpting YPB SculptLux Squareneck Active Romper is another stunning staple to add to your capsule collection. True to its name, this onesie sculpts your curves while providing a great base for your best outfits—for example, throw your chic silk blazer over top for an elevated look, or add a stylish zip-up sweatshirt to keep the vibe sporty and casual. Snag it in women’s sizes XXS through XXL.
Anthropologie Faux Leather Shirt Dress
Another gorgeous textural find is this Faux Leather Shirt Dress from Anthropologie. Available in three playful colors in sizes XXS through XL, the dress has a masculine-chic vibe that you can lean into with a baseball cap and a pair of sneakers, or keep things softer with a pair of kitten heels and dainty jewelry. For more versatility, opt for the tan Honey-colored option, but if you’re not afraid to make a statement, you can’t go wrong with the trendy bubblegum pink colorway.
Sam Edelman Poppy Sneakers
A sleek pair of sneakers is a convenient item to have in your wardrobe because of how versatile they are — and the Poppy Sneakers from Sam Edelman sneakers are an all-star minimalist find. Available in women’s whole and half shoe sizes 5 through 11, the raw-edge leather fabric sets them apart from other white sneakers on the market, while maintaining the matches-with-everything versatility that is a mainstay of minimalist style.
Topshop Wide Fit Margot Chunky Chelsea Boot
Chunky boots add an edgy-chic vibe to any outfit, and the feminine Wide Fit Margot Chunky Chelsea Boots from Topshop are just the shoes you need in your new minimalist wardrobe. Available in women’s whole shoe sizes 5 through 11, they’d look uber chic with every combination of outfits possible in this capsule collection—especially that Abercrombie onesie paired with the Cami NYC blazer.
