There is a selection of minimalist clothes that are essential for your winter capsule wardrobe. 7 to be exact, and here they are.
Do you ever wonder if there are specific minimalist clothes that just have to be part of your winter capsule wardrobe? Minimalist clothing pieces that are so well-fitting and easy to style, you will simply wear them on repeat throughout the cold season and maybe even beyond?
Guess what! The answer is yes. These 7 amazing items below are timeless gems you should definitely consider adding to your closet if you don’t have them already.
7 Essential Minimalist Clothes For Your Winter Wardrobe:
1. Warm Blazer
If you’re going to invest in just one piece in winter 2025, make it this oversized responsible wool blazer from & Other Stories, one of my favorite minimalist clothes brands. This is an investment purchase that you’ll have in your wardrobe for the foreseeable future. The neutral color allows for versatility and the material will keep you warm even in the coldest temperatures.
If you’re a regular blog reader, you know that I swear by the & Other Stories blazers. They might actually be the best-fitting ones out there, within this price range. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a cheap buy, but I guarantee you, you get your monies worth when it comes to cost per wear.
2. Belted Coat
Since I’ve got my hands on this belted coat last year, it has been my go-to throw on every time the temperature starts dipping down. I wear it with leggings, jeans and even knitted dresses styled with trainers. It’s so functional!
Trust me, it’s a wonderful addition to any minimalist winter wardrobe, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. It really completes the minimalist clothes style.
3. Cashmere Turtleneck
I used to have a similar turtleneck that I was wearing on repeat every single winter, year after year. It was made of cotton, I think, as I remember I was somehow always cold with it and had to wear a warm bodysuit underneath.
I don’t know what happened to that jumper. Maybe I left it in my sister’s wardrobe when I moved to London to live with my boyfriend, but I’m so happy to discover this beautiful piece from Everlane.
Not only is the fit even more flattering than my old one, but it’s also made from recycled cashmere and elastane. Which means comfort, sustainability, and functionality!
As someone who is always cold, finding warm, stylish, and ethical clothes for a good price is a real struggle. This item should be on everyone’s minimalist clothes list.
4. Black Wide Leg Pants
Minimalist or not, every girl needs a classy, elegant, versatile pair of black pants in her autumn/winter wardrobe that can make her feel sexy and confident no matter what the occasion.
Well, I found the perfect ones! This timeless pair would suit almost any body shape, so you need to get your hands on them right away. Because trust me when I tell you this, they will be sold out real fast. It’s a rare find that you’ll treasure forever.
These are the type of pants you’d see the iconic Katherine Hepburn in, but with a modern twist. Alternatively, if that’s not the right fit for you, check the rest of this brand’s trouser section. They have some of the best fairly priced “Girl boss” styles.
5. Half Zip Sweater
Winter is around the corner, so a good half-zip sweater just had to be added to this list. It’s such an easy-to-style, often ignored, minimalist garment that’s ideal for autumn or winter, and all-year-round, really.
Here’s my best find for any minimalist wardrobe capsule. It’s made of responsible wool, which is much better for the environment and yourself actually because it’s free of toxic substances. I love the color and the cut. So minimal and pretty!
A half-zip sweaterlike this can be worn with a lot more garments than you think. Style it with joggers, cropped puffer jacket, and sneakers for a casual walk in the park, or dress it up with straight black jeans, ankle boots, and a camel coat for dinner with friends.
6. Long Sleeve Body Suit
As we’re replacing the classy t-shirt with a bodysuit in the cold season, make sure you invest in a good staple piece that you can wear every day as a layer or on its own. At the end of the day, practical items make for the best minimalist clothes.
I’ve added this one to my closet a month ago, and I’ve worn it more than ten times already! I love the flattering fit, and I’m obsessed with neckline. It looks great with an open button white shirt and jeans, as well as worn as a top.
7. Everyday High-Waisted Jeans
We can’t skip the classic straight-length jeans when we’re discussing minimalist clothes deserving a place in our wardrobe. But finding a well-fitting pair that is also stretchy, comfortable and sits above the belly button can be a challenging task.
This stunning pair from my beloved brand Everlane is a game-changer. It comes in a variety of colors, making it hard to pick just one. My personal choice this year is ecru. What’s yours?
