How to deal with monotony in minimalistic fashion style?
Because of the use of neutral colors and lack of ornamentation, this fashion style may not be for everyone – especially those who think of fashion as an expression of personality. Some may find the clothes a little boring. If you like the style but are apprehensive about these arguments, you can add interest and texture to your clothes with your choice of fabrics and layering and the choice of simple but interesting accessories. You can also express your creativity in the way you mix and match pieces and create endless outfit combinations. Some may find the color choices very dull. One way to bring some depth is to choose one color and then select clothes in different shades, tones, and tints of the same color, rather than going for monochrome, which some may think dull and boring.Sustainability angle of minimalism
