Plus, just because getting dressed can be easy doesn't necessarily mean it has to be boring. You can add a pop of color to your neutral palette by way of a scarf (a la leopard print, maybe?), or dress things up with some structured metal earrings.
Whether you have $10 to spend or $100, scroll through for 11 minimalist clothing brands to keep on your radar. And be prepared to never say "Ugh, I have nothing to wear" again.

Mate the Label
Since many people are still living in "soft clothes" (denim? I don't know her... ), now's a great time to stock up on cuddly soft and sustainable basics. Mate's organic cotton tees are as perfect for snuggling into at night as they are for tucking into high-waisted jeans (when the time comes). And don't sleep on the brand's activewear, which is buttery soft and comes in a delightful palette of earthy tones.

Lunya
Think of Lunya's line as "pajamas you can also wear to work." While it's technically a sleepwear brand (don't @ me), if you pair the pieces with other minimalist items like jeans or black pencil trousers, you'll wind up with a look that's totally desk appropriate. And for what it's worth, their leggings are the only thing you'll want to wear to yoga, and then to brunch, and then... for the rest of your life.
