How To Build A Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe | The Basic Principles (Men's Essentials)

There is often a misconception that a minimalist wardrobe is boring, that you have to use the same clothes every single day. However, with some thought, a minimalist wardrobe can look just as finished and polished as a complicated one.

In this video, I'm going to share some guides to look sharp while maintaining a minimal wardrobe.

Six Principles:
1. Fit
2. Color
3. Texture
4. Versatility
5. Price & Quality
6. Function

I absolutely Love how you break the the clothing style down. This has helped me tremendously!

[thomasdc]

your wardrobe is really great. You've nailed the fit which many men do wrong. It is simple but looks sharp and versatile.

[WandafulWrldWide]

Your clothing style reflects the same beautiful and minimal aesthetic of your home. Simply fantastic, Reynard! 👍🏽

The best video about essentials that I watched on YouTube. Great pieces and amazing combinations. It looks great and fashion. Following you from Brazil. 🇧🇷

Step 0. BE physically fit! 😭
But in all seriousness. Solid content around simple men's fashion. I'm currently in the process of decluttering my closet and looking for good essentials to replace what I currently have. I just need to remember I can't swap it all overnight as quality pieces cost serious money.

Very nice selection of pieces for your capsule wardrobe. Only things to improve is to have lower cut ‘no show’ socks with your sneakers plus the white sneakers could be a bit more cleaner as the beat up look can be a bit jarring as the rest of the outfits were so clean and crisp.

[gissyepop]

Omg! I just found your channel and believe is the best video I ever saw about wardrobe basics. Fount it useful for women too!

[sopharmy]

Love your content! I subscribed for the design videos, but I wasn’t expecting to see capsule wardrobe and minimalism as well. I’m really loving them! They way your videos are put together and the calming narrative is perfect 👍🏼 would LOVE to see more minimalism content from your perspective!

Hey Reynard I just subscribed the other day and I've been going through all of your videos. I didn't think I would enjoy this (I hate fashion) but you actually made it bearable and your approach is both easy-to-follow and logical. Hats off to you and keep these awesome videos coming! You really deserve more than 21k subscribers.

One idea/suggestion: I wonder if it would be possible to invite a friend (ie someone who is not currently in good shape like you) for this sort of thing. I'm currently reworking my eating habits and cutting fat but I'm still stuck with a lot stubborn fat around my waist. I wonder if you have any tips for people with slightly less flattering body lines, or is it basically the same regardless?

[tianamorningstar]

I really like your style, simple and eligent.

[TroyQwert]

Watching this I realized your concept: be sure in what you're saying and doing is right and everyone'll believe you're right. 😄

[raphaelaraujo]

Congratulations, man! That's an awesome video!

Congratulations on your top-notch content quality! Your calm and meditative style calms me down☺
I used to live in Sydney and noticed that the most well-dressed people on the street were Asians. Now I know why. Thank you for all the tips!
By the way, the views that open from the balcony are priceless! Is it around Alexandria?

Where did you get the long tan / brown jacket / peacoat? Not sure if I missed you tagging it in the video or not.
