WHY I STOPPED WEARING COLOR * MINIMALISM TIPS * I shesfrench
Hello everybody! In today's video we're talking about why I stopped wearing color as a minimalist and actually why I don't follow color theory at all. I completely agree and believe that color theory is important and a real thing but as a minimalist, not introducing color into my closet is one of the best decisions I have made! I am very happy with my very minimal closet and actually do not miss color one bit! I love talking about minimalism and I think that being picky about introducing color is a great minimalism tip! But like always I'd love to know what you think! Fashion is self expression and very personal! 🤍

Definitely agree. It also allows you to play with silhouette.

@shesfrench Год назад

Hi Angela, thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment🤍 yess you’re absolutely right! Silhouette is so important too!🤍

@Androgynary Год назад

So this is a personal anecdote. Like you mentioned, neutrals are very safe and easy to style. And I think that’s why I gravitated to them at a certain point in my life where my mental and physical health was declining. Because of the stress and health issues I was experiencing at the time, black and white clothing became a comfortable safety zone for me to get dressed without adding pressure or chaos on my then fragile sense of self. I had so much going in my life that I couldn’t mentally handle wearing color. But now that mental/physical/emotional health has thankfully improved, I find that shift coincides with my desire to incorporate more color in my wardrobe. Black and white is still my base color palette and the shades that I wear the most of, but my happy medium is injecting a pop of one or two colors in my outfits now. Because I’m still very selective of what colors go into my wardrobe, I find this dynamic doesn’t inhibit my ability to get dressed quickly or mix and match pieces seamlessly.

@shesfrench Год назад

Hi L🤍 Thank you so much for sharing your personal anecdote I’m so glad that you considered this a safe space to do so🤍 Being able to remove a daily stressor is absolutely huge, I really agree that minimizing in that way really helps to simplify life and allows you to shift your focus and feel strong doing so. I’m so glad that you’re feeling better and improving and I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying adding color back! I love how you are going about it. You’re a huge inspiration🤍🤍🤍

@nicolefrancois5603 Год назад

I 💯 agree with you! I tend to dress in black with a beige or brown to add a “pop”-I always feel appropriate and chic for whatever I’m getting into. Your videos have me dipping into the minimalist aesthetic-you really show how it doesn’t take many clothes at all to look classic yet cool. Loving your channel! 🎉

@shesfrench Год назад

Hi Nicole! Thank you SO much! Your comment made me so happy! I love that you add some brown in, brown is an amazing color I love the richness it brings! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos, I’m so happy!🤍🤍🤍

@Lisamercedes7 Год назад

I love your monochromatic aesthetic! I’ve been curating my wardrobe and noticed after clearing everything out that I also gravitate towards mainly black with some white, cream, and grey. I thought I would be bored without pops of color, or worse yet that I would be labeled as “boring”, but getting ready is so much easier when everything inherently matches! I also feel so chic and put together 🖤🤍

@shesfrench Год назад

Hi Lisa!! Yessss I love that so much! I’m so happy for you! Chic and put together is always my goal too! I really feel like not wearing color is the furthest thing from boring because you’re not maxed out on that instant statement, you can do a lot of subtle things that really add up!🤍🤍🤍

@michelle5455 Год назад

I agree! I love neutrals and having different textures makes it a lot of fun and brings out my creativity when getting dressed 😊 such a great video!

@shesfrench Год назад

Hey Michelle thank you so much for taking the time to comment it means so much to me!🤍 I’m so glad you enjoyed this video, I completely agree textures are everything!!🤍🤍🤍

Love this video! The neutrals are perfect for fall season🍂

@shesfrench Год назад

Hi there🤍 Thank you so much I’m so happy you liked this video! I agree fall and winter are perfect seasons to experiment with neutral outfits!!🤍🤍🤍

@rosalindmason9242 4 месяца назад

I think you look great in black and ivory and I am so interested to see how you curate and style your wardrobe pieces. I also enjoyed seeing photos of the outfits. I am not a minimalist but 50 % of my wardrobe is black and shades of white. Being much older than you I am finding out that too much black near my face makes me feel dead whereas white near my face gives everything life. I am intrigued by people who don't need colour because I go through phases all the time of falling in love with the colour of the moment paired with my neutral wardrobe work horses. My absolute favourites and most worn items invariably end up being colours that look good with my skin tone and hair.

Hi there!! Thank you so much for watching!! It's funny that you commented this because I have been thinking a lot about color and while I still don't wear any, I do have a slight penchant towards navy blue and I have also incorporated some tans, sooo colorful hahaha! Colors of the seasons are so well marketed that we can't help to love them, right now cherry red is such a thing and I do also love it! I still play it really safe but I really encourage trying colors if there are some you love, fashion is self expression after all

@lauriejordan2716 Год назад

I love this video. I just subscribed. I felt like I was the only one who finds texture to be a major component in building an outfit as well as a wardrobe.

@shesfrench Год назад

Hi Laurie! Welcome!! Thank you so much for subscribing I’m so touched🤍 I’m so glad that you enjoyed the video and agreed on texture! It’s so important I think it gets overlooked sometimes!🤍🤍🤍

@mignoncobra Год назад

Hey Jenna! I completely agree with your thought process! I tried the all black but turned out not to be for me, but I apply all the same theories you use for beige. Black looks amazing on you and I think it's so inspiring to see someone so confident in 1 colorway. Great video, J : )

@shesfrench Год назад

Hey Nat!! Thank you so much for watching🤍 I actually love black on you haha! I also loved the pink you did too!! But you do look amazing!! in beige, I love that you found your look and color! I love the aesthetic🤍🤍🤍

@mignoncobra Год назад

@@shesfrench Thank you! That's very kind of you to say so. All just phases in the journey. :) I still have 1 black sweater from my all black days. It brings back good memories ^_^

@alessia4359 Год назад

I think your theory on trendy color it's so interesting!

@shesfrench Год назад

Hiii! I really think that it’s a thing but like with anything trends come and go! I don’t think that marketed colors are bad in any way but having stepped back from color I can definitely see that those very trendy colors do have timelines! 🤍🤍 🤍

Yes so much easier now I am Also minimalist and I just made decision to only have black white and some lila and Christmas red top so I decluttered all rest accept some blue jeans.

@asisqueezylovediary6474 Год назад

Mainly all beige is gone

@shesfrench Год назад

Hii thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I love that so much!! I consider denim a neutral for sure haha, good denim is amazing and so key! I love that you include pops of lilac, lilac is a beautiful color!🤍🤍🤍

@KimCher007 Год назад

I just found your channel and I love your content! I’m also a minimalist and luxury lover! I love having designer stuff but not a tone, just the pieces I really love. 😊 Have u heard about extreme minimalism? What do u think about that? 💕✨

@shesfrench Год назад

Hi Kim!! Sorry for the late response!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment and welcome to the channel I’m so happy you’re here!🥹🤍 I’m the same as you I love designer pieces but I’m careful about what I select not only for the sake of my wallet haha but also to make sure that they really are worthwhile and pieces I will love for a long time! And yes I’ve heard about extreme minimalism, I think that my closet could fall into that parameter and I’ve called it that a few times but I actually don’t really keep track of how much I own, just what feels right! I find that it’s healthier to go about it that way, minimalism should benefit you and not feel restrictive (not saying that extreme minimalism isn’t freeing though, I just don’t really label)🤍🤍🤍

@OxoKimiko 3 месяца назад

I wish I would have found this before I went to a color analysis. My cousin thought that it would be a perfect christmas gift for her sister to go and take part in one. We made a reservation for the five of us. Everyone was satisfied with the results, except for me. I'm not going to go into detail, but I came out (rather pressured into) to be warm spring. It just didn' t suit me and since I'm a (fake) redhead, I felt like a clown in all those colors. She even told me to not wear black. C'mon.!

@shesfrench 3 месяца назад

Hiii I’m so sorry you didn’t have a good experience! I completely agree, wear what you like and what makes you feel good that’s the most important! And I really do think that it’s impossible to do black wrong or not suit black, but then again I might be biased because I love black haha! But we do need a base to jump off from with color and it’s tough to replace black there🤍

@Karolina-dr8du Год назад

I find that I get bored of colourful pieces really quickly and neutrals (black, white, beige, grey, denim) stay in my closet for a long time

I haven’t gone to just black and ivory in my wardrobe, because black doesn’t look good next to my face. I’m loving charcoal grey though. I’m in the middle of building a smaller wardrobe and although I still love color, if I choose any colors they are very muted. I’ve noticed over the years that if I buy anything with bright colors it’s like I disappear and all you see are the clothes.

@shesfrench Год назад

Hey Sianna! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment🤍 I love that you found what works for you, it took me a long time to find that for myself! Charcoal is amazing! It looks really good on my husband! I agree that going the muted route works really well for smaller closets! Bright colors definitely pack a punch haha it’s important to make sure we’re not getting taken over by the clothes lol🤍🤍🤍

@Amyavalon1844 Год назад

@@shesfrench I also have to add that I would love the simplicity of your wardrobe, and wish that I looked good in black. Who knows maybe my wardrobe will evolve into ivory (which I look really good wearing) and charcoal grey, instead of black. It would be so easy to get dressed every day then. No more decision fatigue. 😄🦋☀️

@shesfrench Год назад

@@Amyavalon1844 I think that’s an amazing idea! It takes a lot of time and a lot of experimenting, I’m also still experimenting myself🤍 I would consider adding some black pieces perhaps even as bags or shoes and like you said perhaps not too close to your face if you don’t find that it flatters you, ultimately you absolutely know yourself best! I kind of do something similar with ivory I prefer it as bottoms or shoes rather than by my face! Having some black is nice for versatility, I love that it’s so life proof (I can trust that’s it’s unlikely that any stain and wear disasters will happen to my black pieces lol)! 🤍🤍🤍

@Amyavalon1844 Год назад

@@shesfrench I do have some black in my wardrobe (pants, bag, booties).

@shesfrench Год назад

@@Amyavalon1844 Ahh awesome those are good staples! I love your plan of doing charcoal and ivory a lot! I’m really excited for you🤍
