HOW TO DO: MINIMAL TO THE MAX

By Ezra Maloney, 17 January 2023

Look, we know 2022 was ALL about low-key looks, clean girls and glazed donuts, but those days are over 👋 Enter minimal to the MAX, the first trend that’s gonna be all over your FYPs in 2023. This vibe’s all about mixing and matching bold and neutral colours, minimal silhouettes and oh-so extra details. Just what January called for TBF. Wanna know how to do it? Just keep reading, but maybe pop your shades on first 😎 🌈

ASOS DESIGN frilly high neck maxi dress in fluro pink.

FLUORO FANTASY

ASOS DESIGN maxi dress, £65

This statement dress is giving floaty, hyper-feminine head-turner with a laidback, 'I just threw this on' flex. The full-length ruffles and bubblegum-pink shade is key to unlocking the MAX side of the trend. Team it with some neutral heels and you've nailed it. P.S. Greens and yellows are also gonna be massive this year 💚 💛

CUT IT OUT

ASOS DESIGN cut-out jumper, £26

Another thing we ❤️ about this trend? It’s ALL about the details! This beige jumper could have been... well, beige, but those cut-outs and the white trim gives it that minimal to the max vibe. Style with your fave cargos, mini skirt or oversized tailored trousers for next-level impact 🤠

ASOS DESIGN mini winged relaxed tote in pink.

BAG IT UP

ASOS DESIGN mini winged bag, £16

If you just wanna dip your toes in the trend, go for a statement accessory. Style your denim look with something like this Elle Woods-inspired bag for a pop of XXL colour 👛 Did somebody say contrast?

ASOS DESIGN Fibres padded flat sandals in black.

SLIDE TO THE LEFT (AND THE RIGHT)

ASOS DESIGN padded slides, £20

The minimalist side of this trend can *really* jump out with the shoes 👡 Nothing gives big 'just rolled out of bed but looking super put-together’ vibes than some low-key slides. Style this pair with chunky socks to stay cosy in winter and score style points ❤️‍🔥

TURN UP THE TAILORING

One thing that's coming with us into 2023? Tailored trousers – preferably ones with a super-oversized, exaggerated fit. Pair with a bright crop top and slides to channel the trend.
