Not sure if I am eligible to call myself as a supporter of luxury-minimalist. I started to spent all the money I’ve earned to demolish my old-wardrobe (cheap, bargained student styles from Primark and H&M) and make them less by upgrade them to much better quality items. I used to have around 10 winter mantels and coats and tons of pullovers. I sorted them out and ended having the only one MaxMara Camel Coat. I wish to have a winter down coat from Moncler and a Burberry Islington Trench Coat then I think I’d have all of Germany’s seasons covered. I recently purchased a Marco Polo Übergangsjacke or transitional jacket I supposed? It’s a crucial item to wear on transition between fall to winter and winter to spring. For this, I sold my jeans and faux leather, biker jacket because I think they are simply not my style anymore. I keep 1-2 old coats to be wore in the playground. Don’t you ever think I’d slide with my MaxMara coat in the playground with my son x).

All these big purchases are meant to be an investment and I really hope that I will wear them as long as at least for 10 years. Imagine you wouldn’t need to stress on shopping anymore and be able to look classy whenever you need.

Winter outfits: I sorted out all of my polyester clothes and my pullover and replaced them with 100% cottons and cashmeres. I have set of turtlenecks and knit pants for house-outfits, so that I feel elegant throughout the day.

Summer outfits: 80% of my dresses are consisting of A-line shirt dresses. I am guilty that I have 20+ of them but I need to differentiate which shirt dress are to be out and about and which one I’d wear for playdates right? 😀 Shirt dress is my awesome found of 2020. It is simple, comfortable and effortlessly elegant. Bonus for breastfeeding moms: it makes the whole process a lot of easier 😉

I found elegant styles also flatter my body type. I don’t feel like showing too much of my body parts after become a mom. I personally don’t think it is also appropriate and thus, I dress more moderately. A simple rule: if you want to show your upper body, close the lower part and vice versa.

Materials play an important role. I am against polyester and I care about materials every time I shop. Most of my clothes are either cotton, viscose, cashmere, wool, or linen. You see and you absolutely feel how comfortable such high quality materials on your body. I don’t do designers on my clothes (keep it on bags and sandals in summer as statement items) but I am no longer shop in Primark and H&M. In short; less items, no trendy items – choose classic, higher quality, higher price, longer durability and more sustainable.
