7 Minimalist Summer Looks To Recreate
The warm weather can often tempt us to go a little boho with our wardrobes. But what if you’re naturally drawn to clean lines, muted colour palettes, classic tailoring, and a more modern aesthetic? If you wince at the thought of a billowing boho look on holiday or cute pastel shades to picnic in the park, we’ve scrolled Instagram to bring you some very chic minimalist fashion looks to wear all summer… not a tassel or frill in sight.
Look 1
If there is one Brit influencer who knows their way around a minimalist look, it’s Alexis Foreman. This look is all about simple, but well-chosen pieces: a billowy top with just a hint of detail in the fringed hem, heatwave-ready balloon pants, and cool-girl accessories to add a pop of personality to an otherwise pared-back look.

We don’t need to tell you twice, buttermilk yellow is still the shade of the summer. The soft-whip shade might feel girly and sweet, but it can still be done in a low-key way with two minimalist wardrobe stalwarts – the crisp white tee and an oversized black blazer.

We love the clever layering of this Sylvie Mus’ look. The loose shirt, the slinky sarong skirt, the polished but pared-back accessories – it just works. And it proves you can do print and still keep it simple.

Look 4
Minimalists can still do punchy colour, like this hot tomato-red maxi paired with simple stripes and laid-back accessories. Plus, a long tassel pendant will become the hardest-working accessory in your summer wardrobe – they elevaate every single minimalist look perfectly.

Minimalist looks can often feel smart and a little formal, but this one proves you can do simple with a touch of soft boho thrown in. Plus, everyone needs a pretty white blouse in their summer collection.

Look 6
This look would work for so many occasions, from the office to dinner with the girls to a Sunday stroll. We love the use of a lemony knit as a belt, and the soft suede, light brown pumps to break up an otherwise monochromatic look.

Summer in black? Absolutely. There’s something about an all-black look in the warmer months that is just cool, and if you’re a confessed minimalist, chances are you’ll be drawn to that comforting colour palette. Want to add a fun twist? Add a playful spin via some big ’70s-inspired sunnies.
