Keeping Style Simple: Four Minimalist Outfits to Choose

Jul 11, 2022

Celebrate National Simplicity Day on July 12, the birthday of American philosopher Henry David Thoreau. After all, like Thoreau said, “As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.” That adage applies to your outfits, too. Minimalist style not only brings more simplicity to your life, but it gives you a clean-cut edge without all the fashion clutter. What is minimalist style? Read on for some ideas to create minimalist outfits straight from the Hibbett | City Gear collection.

The New Nude

A simple beige is not only classic, but it can also show off your sleek summer tan. Grab an adidas Women’s Sportswear Studio Lounge Summer Crew Sweatshirt with matching shorts for a kickback, lunch with the girls or have a relaxing, solo movie night. Add adidas Ultraboost 22 shoes in “Magic Mauve” or add a little neutrality to his wardrobe with a pair of Nike Air Max 97s in a “Cream II/Khaki/Olive Grey/Rust Oxide” colorway.

Modern White

Whether you’re hanging out with the guys or going on a date, a white Nike Men’s White Striped Golf Polo is the way to go. If you like a little edge, you can always throw on the Grindhouse Men’s Super Ripped Denim Shorts. Finish off your minimalist outfit with a pair of white Vans Old Skools and a men’s snapback hat — the perfect warm-weather threads for any occasion.

Back in Black

You can’t go wrong with black, whether you’re shooting for style or simply enjoying that moody look. The Nike Air Long-Sleeve Dress or Nike Women’s Sportswear Icon Clash 1-Piece is a solid base to build on your own minimalist style. Going for the streetwear vibe? Wear a women’s full-zip hoodie with one shoulder exposed and a pair of Nike Air Zoom G.T. Jump high top kicks. For a more polished presence, consider combining the one-piece with an unzipped Nike Women’s Black Dri-FIT Strike Full-Zip Soccer Jacket, Ray-Bans and the Nike Air VaporMax Plus in black and “Anthracite.”

Think (Muted) Pink

Choose from a variety of minimalist looks when you select the Nike Women’s Sportswear Essential SS Dress as your starting point. Combine it with a pink women’s hat, a Nike Heritage pink waistpack and your favorite pink sneaks to attend an outdoor concert. You can also fancy it up with gold hoops, a gold necklace and women’s black low tops to head out for girls’ night.
