6 Winter Outfits That Are the Epitome of "Less Is More"

Sometimes, you wake up and shun everything in your closet that's bright, printed, or otherwise statement-making. This is when you reach for the palette cleansers: the sleek camel coats, the cozy white sweaters, and the reliable black boots. When you're in a minimalist mood, nothing adorned, embroidered, or sequinned will do. It's all about the simplest pieces in the chicest silhouettes.
If you fancy yourself a minimalist, you're about to want every single one of the below outfits. I took cues from stylish Instagram girls and re-created their pitch-perfect, less-is-more outfits. There's a matching monochromatic set that's anything but boring, a perfect denim outfit, and plenty of basic yet polished sweater options. Scroll down to shop our favorite minimalist outfits for winter. Who knows? Maybe you'll never need to go back to color and prints when you get your hands on these essentials.
Nothing says polished like a great camel coat, and you don't need to spend a fortune on it.
Brown on brown never looked so chic. Leave it to Danish brand Stine Goya to make the most coveted matching set this season.
Simple, cozy, and cool—what more could you possibly ask for? Just make sure your teddy is color-blocked and your jeans are wide-legged.
You simply can't go wrong with gray and black. Get yourself a great coat and well-fitting trousers and you're ready to rumble.
Are you sensing a theme yet? Monochromatic outfits are perfect for nailing the minimalist vibe.
Mixing different shades of white and beige is a foolproof way to test-drive the less-is-more look.
