7 Minimalist Wardrobe Essentials (Smart Shopping Tips To Only Buy Clothing You Need)

About this video

Centeno outlines seven categories of wardrobe essentials for a minimalist men’s closet: footwear (casual shoes, dress shoes, and boots), pants (dark denim, slacks, and shorts), colored shirts (dress shirts and casual button-downs), non-colored shirts (t-shirts and henleys), jackets (suits, sports jackets, and blazers), outerwear (functional and stylish pieces), and accessories. He provides specific recommendations and styling considerations for each category based on lifestyle and body type.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that a minimalist wardrobe requires at least three types of footwear—casual shoes, dress shoes, and boots—with specific options for different occasions and aesthetics
  • Centeno recommends having seven button-down shirts total, with the ratio depending on whether your style is formal (five dress shirts, two casual) or casual (five casual, two dress)
  • Centeno suggests selecting outerwear pieces based on function and personal style: one practical jacket to protect from elements and one statement piece that makes you feel confident
  • Centeno emphasizes that t-shirts and henleys must fit well at purchase since they cannot be tailored like button-ups
