Elegant minimalism is the fashion trend taking over this fall, according to the fashion industry. This understated beauty is gaining traction following the rise of "quiet luxury" and "old money" style in the 2020s. Brands are now prioritizing high-quality materials, precise tailoring, and subdued colors over flashy embellishments or prominent logos.
In contrast to the 1990s, where black and white dominated, neutral colors such as beige, brown, and gray are expected to take center stage this season. Silhouettes are also shifting, with designs moving towards softer, more three-dimensional shapes that gently follow the contours of the body. The emphasis is on fluidity, rather than the slimness that was previously favored.
The texture of fabrics is also expected to stand out this season, with industry insiders highlighting the importance of density and feel. Lightweight materials will be the foundation of elegant minimalism, according to a Samsung Fashion Research Institute official.
