But you should. Less is more and that&#8217;s a hard concept for us to digest sometimes when we&#8217;re inundated with ads that tell us to buy because we deserve it (hey we do, don&#8217;t we?) or with clothing prices so low in some boutiques that it&#8217;s considered quasi disposable (can&#8217;t afford not to buy it!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>A minimalist&#8217;s wardrobe is the kind of wisdom your chic grandmother would give you. Or the beautiful old woman in some modern day fable, who always wore red lipstick and Chanel suits. &#8220;It is better my dear,&#8221; she would say, perhaps a long cigarette in hand, &#8220;to own just one Chanel suit, than a closet full of sad excuses for textiles.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A minimalist wardrobe is great for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Saves on space<\/li><li>Saves on time (less minutes wasted shuffling through your jammed closet and struggling to make a decision)<\/li><li>Saves money<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So with no further ado, here are the basic builders you&#8217;ll need to harvest your minimalist wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minimalist wardrobe on a budget in 8 steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. 3 blazers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t be tempted with cuts or patterns that risk becoming outdated. Go nothing but classic here as you&#8217;ll change the blazer&#8217;s look with the rest of your ensemble. The blazer will be a core piece that will ground you to a mature, &#8220;take-me-seriously,&#8221; business-ready look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ralphlauren.com\/women-clothing-blazers\/tubular-trimmed-blazer\/519246.html\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\">blazer from Ralph Lauren<span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><g id=\"wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\" fill=\"none\" clip-path=\"url(#clip0_31_188)\">\r\n                            <path d=\"M9.16724 14.8891L20.1672 3.88908\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M13.4497 3.53554L20.5208 3.53554L20.5208 10.6066\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M17.5 13.5L17.5 16.26C17.5 17.4179 17.5 17.9968 17.2675 18.4359C17.0799 18.7902 16.7902 19.0799 16.4359 19.2675C15.9968 19.5 15.4179 19.5 14.26 19.5L7.74 19.5C6.58213 19.5 6.0032 19.5 5.56414 19.2675C5.20983 19.0799 4.92007 18.7902 4.73247 18.4359C4.5 17.9968 4.5 17.4179 4.5 16.26L4.5 9.74C4.5 8.58213 4.5 8.0032 4.73247 7.56414C4.92007 7.20983 5.20982 6.92007 5.56414 6.73247C6.0032 6.5 6.58213 6.5 7.74 6.5L11 6.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                        <defs>\r\n                            <clipPath id=\"clip0_31_188\">\r\n                                <rect fill=\"white\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\"\/>\r\n                            <\/clipPath>\r\n                        <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> for $69.99 on sale could be worn nearly five days a week and cause no one to question you.
