Los Angeles based stylist and content creator Jennifer Andrews-Cater has self-described minimal style. But trust that minimal in no way means boring. While simple pieces are front-runners in her wardrobe, these items remain fashion-forward thanks to their refined and modern cuts and silhouettes.
Some of her key staples include relaxed trousers, suiting, and stylish flats. For summer 2025, there are three more trends she'll be adding to her rotation that skew toward the statement-making side but still fit in with her minimalist wardrobe.
Keep scrolling for a deeper dive into Andrews-Cater's top trends along with visual inspiration and a range of shopping recommendations if you want to add one (or all) of the fashionable and elegant items to your wardrobe.

1. Lace Details
"Feminine lace details have been slowly making their way into my summer wardrobe. The Row is to blame for this current fixation. They really know how to take a trend and style it so well, making it feel so relevant yet still timeless and trendy. It's a gift. I recently got this lace camisole from Intimissimi, and it has definitely scratched The Row itch." — Andrews-Cater
2. Toe-Loop Sandals
"I'm always looking for minimal footwear with an elevated twist. I'm completely into the new sandal trend with a toe loop. This version from Toteme is high on my wish list." — Andrews-Cater
3. Statement Necklaces
"There's something about a statement necklace with the simplest outfits. Think vintage 501s and a tee or a monochromatic cotton poplin set that really brings it home. And bonus points if the necklace involves any of the following details: tassels, shells, or paracord!
"The new Dorsey paracord pieces are truly everything. I've been wearing them as a 'set it and forget it' piece, and they make any outfit look cool. The anklets add that nice summer touch and can be worn as bracelets. I especially love the necklaces with their James Bezel lab-grown stones incorporated into the paracord (genius!) This one is my favorite." — Andrews-Cater
