Many fashion enthusiasts refrain from the minimalist look because they worry about looking boring. Have no fear Fashionistas/os because I know the key to success when it comes to minimalist outfits. Accessories! When wearing something plain or monochromatic, all the attention goes towards the accessories one is wearing and they can make or break an outfit. By knowing what to pair with a monochromatic outfit and even adding a splash of color, you will be adding a whole new meaning to the saying less is more.

In this case however, the accessories make it an outfit to die for. The Fashionista’s outfit is simple yet stands out. Along with the white top and white shorts, she added beautiful Christian Dior sunglasses. Instead of having regular bag, she chose to use a stylish, black backpack.
