I saw an ELI5 about seasonless minimalist clothing the other day and it got me thinking. While the explanation was pretty good, I’m still wondering about the practicalities of actually building a wardrobe like that. The basic idea, as I understood it, is to choose versatile items that can be layered and worn in different climates, focusing on neutral colors and simple designs.Think t-shirts,button-down shirts,sweaters,and jackets in gray,navy,and black that can be mixed and matched.But doesn’t that get boring? And how truly adaptable can clothes really be? A wool sweater is great for winter, but unbearable in summer, even if you *can* technically wear it. are we just talking about a very limited range of moderate temperatures? I’m also curious about the cost.High-quality, versatile pieces are often expensive, so is it actually cheaper than buying a bunch of fast-fashion items for each season, even if those items don’t last as long?
Just curious if anyone has really embraced the seasonless minimalist wardrobe and what their experience has been. Are there any major pitfalls to watch out for? What are some go-to items that work well across a wide range of conditions?
