Minimalism is a stripped-down aesthetic built on simplicity, neutral color, and essential elements only, rising in 1960s art and returning to fashion in the 1990s and again in the 2010s around the value of restraint. Monochrome basics in neutral tones carry it. Well-tailored trousers cover the bottoms. Clean-line tops go above them. White sneakers go below, with minimal gold or silver jewelry and structured tote bags.
