Daniel: “Don’t look too deep into this list” me: *watches this video for the nth time It’s not just inspiring, but very satisfying to watch how smartly versatile and minimalist this wardrobe is.
For me, let’s call it… fashion-uneducated, this video was very helpful! I tend to be drawn toward simple and minimal aesthetics and you’ve given me some great ideas 💡 Editing was top-notch by the way - your effort did not go unnoticed! 🙌
I'm a woman, but I still absolutely love this video and got a lot of great ideas. Now I just need to find a female Daniel Titchener! Great stuff! Keep it coming :)
I certainly find this a challenge as a female minimalist. Societal expectations dictate a certain number of items in our wardobe. I reassess my wardrobe at the begining and end of each season considering if there are any items I needed last year and haven't purchased or any items that I didn't wear over the last few months and could donate. Rotation has been a helpful tool for me to overcome this. Having a very small and basic 'permanant' wardrobe with a couple of more eye-catching items added every six months, then donating and purchasing fresh style pieces. Obviously as and when I have the time, desire and financial flexibility to do so.
As as menswear stylist (and also a minimalist), I want to compliment on your style and wardrobe. You've got a really good taste! (and glad you showed fashionbeans on your screen, hope people will find it useful!) Especially liked the fact that you also have dress trousers made of wool. If I could only give you an advice, get one more pair of shoes so these awesome Oliver Cabells and Chelsea boots won't wear out too soon and you can enjoy wearing them longer.
@@funtime6893 Hey! Not sure about courses, but you should def check out GQ UK/US, Esquire UK/US, Mr. Porter, Fashionbeans and explore youtube - I'm a big fan of Daniel Simmons, Tim Dessaint. Also guys like One Dapper Street, Gallucks, Harry Has. Sartorial Talks or He Spoke Style if you are into tailoring and more of a formal side.
It's been a while since I've been implementing my capsule wardrobe. It's a no rush process, which is quite important at least in my case. So far 15kgs worth of t-shirts, sweaters, jackets were donated for a better cause and damn this process is so satisfying.
Signe from Use Less actually is entirely focused on finding personal style and capsule wardrobes if anyone is trying to figure out where to start or even figure out how to find their own personal style! Hueguh has a nice video on this topic too. Loved this one, just wanting to offer folks additional resources in case they need them.
This is one of the most practical minimalist wardrobe videos I have seen so far. There is just so much that actually works for me. Thanks for this video man Love from India
Tops: Black tee x10, light blue OCBD x4 (for work), black merino crew sweater x5 Bottoms: Carbon jeans x2, black jeans x2, grey jeans x2, grey chinos x4 (for work), grey shorts x1 Outer: Black TNF puffer, black leather bomber, black zip hoodie x2 Shoes: Black cap toe boots, charcoal Allbirds, black Vans, black flip flops Never worn: Grey suit A few more for exercise and hiking/backpacking.
Thank you so much for these videos. While I feel that I do not spend a ton of money on clothing, I do have clothes that I have hanging in my closet that I never wear. I definitely looking into cleaning everything out and only keeping a few clothes that I truly wear. Now that I come to think about it, I have been wearing the same outfits for the last year or two.
Hey! I just want to let you know how awesome your content is and from all vlogs that I've watched, this is one of the most helpful and a real game changer! Thanks!
I started watching videos like these 5 yrs ago to build a travel wardrobe capsule that would cover most situations. I narrowed it down to 15 items as folows: 5 performance polo shirts (Black, 2 Navy, Charcoal, Maroon) 👕 1 white oxford shirt 1 jeans, medium wash 👖 1 Navy chino pants 2 chino shorts (khaki, grey) 2 drawstring nylon workout shorts (can double as swimming trunks) Black captoe oxford shoes Grey Yeezy 350’s Brown leather bomber jacket This covers you for everyday casual, business casual, the beach, exercise, and date night.
These include your workout wardrobe?? WOW. You are a true minimalist. I am trying to cut down my clothing items slowly. Definitely make me more motivated to do so. Thanks.
I am in the middle of cleaning out my wardrobe full of unnecessary old stuff, and really interested to start up a capsule wardrobe. This video inspired me a lot! Thanks Daniel :)
if minimalism give me this versatility then I will be minimalist. so cool. and don't lie you know a lot about style. that's shown in your choices, they are perfect.
Nice video, I reckon a lot of guys will get inspiration from this. I wonder what my wardrobe would look like if I cared about my style. My current wardrobe; - 7 boxers - 7 pairs of socks - 7 plain t-shirts - 1 button up shirt - 1 pair of chinos - 1 pair of trackies - 1 pair of smart shorts - 1 pair or lounge shorts - 1 jumper - 1 coat - 1 pair of walking boots - 1 pair of trainers - 1 pair of smart shoes - 1 pair of flip flops - 1 suit - 1 winter hat - 1 pair of winter gloves - 1 summer cap - 1 pair of sunglasses I find this covers me for all occasions, seasons and weather.
Great info. I really like your personality. You know what you're talking about but you're quick to admit that you have made mistakes and are still learning as you go. You just got yourself a new subscriber.
Minimal, capsule wardrobes. Ultra simple, easy to maintain and expression can be found in choice of materials, color, etc. This is a great video. Time is of the essence and why spend too much of it pondering what to wear.
This is by far one of the best videos I've seen on this subject. Thank you for the visuals and specific examples. It helps me understand the concept much more clearly.
Love your content! I'm sure you'll get to 100k really soon. I'm sure it takes a lot of time to make videos but you could grow faster if you posted more often :). Could you please make a video about (maybe minimalist) work out? I've seen you have some weights in one of your videos.
I have been using Oliver Cabell for 2 years now and everytime I'm wearing it I realise how UNCOMFORTABLE but fashionable they are. I almost think these pair of shoes are just like bras for women. Really really don't like them but they look good. I think next I will go with something else, that still looks good but also comfortable.
My minimalist wardrobe: *Workout Gear:* 5x Grey Tank-Tops 2x Black Workout Shorts 2x Black Leggings 1x Black Zip Hoodie 1x Black Nike Trainers *Casual Wear:* 5x Grey T-Shirts 5x Grey Rollneck Sweaters 3x Pairs of Black Jeans 1x Black Patent Moccasins 1x Black Chelsea Boots *Office Wear:* 5x White Button-Up Shirts 3x Black Trousers 3x Grey Trousers 1x Black Blazer 1x Grey Blazer 1x Black Patent Heels *Outerwear:* 1x Black Raincoat 1x Black Winter Coat (Hooded) *Accessories:* 2x Silver Necklaces 1x Fitbit Watch 1x Sunglasses 1x Grey Purse 1x Black Purse 1x Black Woolly Hat 1x Black Woolly Scarf 50 items is all I need. I'm not really a "dress" kinda person so I normally hire dresses for special occasions - keeps me from wasting money and cluttering my closet, and also reduces waste and consumerism. I hope my list will help other women with their wardrobe as there aren't that many genuinely minimal/simplified wardrobes out there for us to be inspired by. Arguably the 3/3/3 method is more minimal, but I find my method offers more flexibility in the long run. Great video, by the way!
Great Video Dan. It's nice to see a minimalist with some color added. So, many wear only Black, which makes people look like their attending a casual funeral. Lol. You've given me some good ideas.
Love the content Daniel! If you don’t mind answering, what is the brand of your sweaters, and if they are discontinued, then are there similar brands that you would recommend? Once again thanks for the amazing videos!
Wow Daniel, I'm in a journey of decluttering my things and I found out that your capsule wardrobe concept is the most suitable for me Thank you in advance
Great video mate, I'm far from having having minimalist wardrobe but I am trying to reach it. Side note: your accent and voice are incredibly calming 😂
My work clothes, easy. I get a clothing allowance, that I don't even use every year. For the last 17½ years: 1.) Socks - police issue 2.) Boots - police issue, hard wearing and last between 5-6 years, currently on pair 4, pair 5 is in waiting till my current pair are done. 3.) Police pants - Field dress (male and female pants precisely the same. Okay older and from the smallest size to two sizes bigger. I was a skinny 110Lbs at 5'8½ and gradually gained weight over the last decade. Pants size increments are 2", so from 72/79, 77/81, and now 82/81 (didn't realize the pants lengths were an option, okay and my legs love the extra inch), and I'm only 42 years old at currently 145Lbs, but was a heavy 150Lbs. Okay, I was a leggy 80-90Lbs prior to my police career. 4.) Police shirt - Field dress (dark blue /grey colour) 5.) Police baseball cap. Weight about 20Lbs. In winter and colder times my options are: 1.) Police jersey / wool v-neck pull over, almost no extra noticeable weighted 2.) Police Bunny Jacket (yes that is the name, basically a material jacket with fleasy center and 3 pockets, and a removable inner with an extra pocket), extra 2Lbs 3.) Police coat, which I call a blanket. Too hot and cumbersome with a firearm, and the hoody isn't good for anything. And weighs a good 30-40Lbs when you soaked in the rain. Extra 10Lbs dry. 4.) Rain coat, also useless, as it only keeps you dry for the first 2-5 minutes in heavy rain. Basically no weight and polyester. Kit: Firearm with extra magazine, 2Lbs Holsters, extra 1Lbs Bulletproof, extra 20Lbs Handcuffs, extra 0.5Lbs Torch, extra 1Lbs When I wear civilian wear, my outfit comes down to 2Lbs in Spring and Summer, Autumn and Winter it goes to a max of 5-7Lbs because of my trenchcoat. Civilian wear: Heavy leather trenchcoat Material trenchcoat Both in a classic design 1 pair mustard formal pants 2 pairs black formal pants 3 long sleeve sweaters in different colours to go with almost anything. 5 pairs long sleeve pull overs in different colours to fit my formal pants and jeans 4 pairs of jeans, (1 soft formal pants material, almost like a tights skinny fit, 1 button up 501 Levi - hey it was and always be my go to Levi jeans (boyfriend straight cut, 1 bootleg, 1 skinny leg hugging) 2 Jackets, one mono tone, other multi tonal jacket with lots of purple in it. 4 bags (1 so small only my cards, money and keys fits in it and purple (got to love it, and in a squeeze my phone), one oversized brown bag, one pistachio colour bag that fit my purse, purple wallet, 2 cellphones, keys, pens, router and 20000mAh powerbank, or just the purse and a full size firearm), 1 black clutch bag (tissues, 1 cellphone, router, and nothing else but a lipstick or lipgloss) 2 Backpacks, one completely purple, the other purpler with white polkadots. So, I'll grab either the pistachio or purple bag for my daily duties. And for 5 days of the week, I don't need to think of what I'll be wearing unless I have something to do. 2 weeks worth of underwear 1 weeks worth of socks with my civilian wear. Need to acquire a new track pants or two, my booty isn't fitting in my old ones anymore, and I get all my jogging and steps in on a daily basis, with a good few kilometers (10km+ a day). So do I call it resistance working with all that weight on me.
This video came onto my news feed just a couple of days after my partner purged his wardrobe, and he's now down to almost the exact number of t shirts, button ups and pants. Must be a formula that works!
Hi Daniel! Will you make a Canada-based version of this video? I think it’s interesting to know how your wardrobe had adjusted now that you live in a different climate.
While it's important to remember that this video is less of a definitive list of specific items and more of a guideline, I've included a list (not meant to replace the video) below for those who want one: Tops: - 10 T-Shirts (pastel and muted, to go with anything) - (specifically: white, a kind of muted salmon/pink, muted light blue, olive/tan, light heather gray, olive green, forest green, dark red, navy blue, dark gray) - 4 Button-downs (white, light blue, light blue (denim), black) - 2 Polos (tan and white) - 3 Sweaters (black, dark navy blue, dark red) Bottoms: - 1 Pair black jeans (cold weather) - 1 Pair casual black trousers (when black jeans are too casual or in the wash) - 2 Pairs of chinos (gray and navy, warm weather) Outerwear: - 1 Black overcoat - 1 Wool jacket (dark gray/to seem smarter/more serious/more fashionable) - 1 Black bomber jacket (gets the most use) - 2 Hoodies for lounging (1 black, 1 gray w/ zipper) - 1 Rain jacket (gray) (Note: Layer the above sections for colder months. For his example, Daniel layered a white t-shirt, a black sweater, a black hoodie, the bomber jacket, and the rain coat.) Shoes: - 1 Pair black chelsea boots (great during the winter months, can be easily styled up or down) - 1 Pair black trainers (get the most use, for workouts/gentle hikes/almost anything else - 1 Pair birkenstock sandals (for around the house and the beach) - 1 Pair high-quality white trainers (sponsored, but he does genuinely seem to like and use them) Accessories and Underwear: - 3 Watches (white, steel, black) - 2 Black hats (1 black ball cap, 1 black beanie) - 1 Black belt Athleisure: - 2 Pairs of shorts (black or navy) - 2 Pairs of black sweatpants - 2 Weeks worth of underwear and socks Formalwear: - 2 Suits (gray and navy because black is harder to dress down) Mentioned but not shown, possible due to being in a dedicated box: - Sportswear - Scarves - Thermals - Gloves Example outfits: - Light gray t-shirt, black trousers, white trainers - Black hoodie, gray chinos, white trainers - Wool jacket, white t-shirt, black trousers, white trainers - Navy sweater, black trousers, white trainers, watch - Light blue button down, navy chinos, white trainers, watch - Bomber jacket, white t-shirt, black trousers, white trainers, black watch - Bomber jacket, black hoodie, black trousers, white trainers, black watch Daniel has links to the exact products he used in the description, if you're so inclined. However, he specifically states that an item that fits well will always be better than one that's branded and doesn't fit correctly, so please consider making your own choices based on what fits in-store or by taking your measurements before you shop online.
i tried to go minimalist for my wardrobe, but I made a huge mistake! I went for black and navy blue t-shirts, the problem with most dark colors is if you don't buy a very good quality, the color will fade away pretty fast after a wash or two and it's so annoying, and in my experience and the worst thing is that the quality of dark color t-shirts and even jeans don't have anything to do with the price and brand. Sometimes even the expensive ones or brand ones will disappoint you after the first or second wash...
For an odd reason, this clip showed up in my youtube recommendation to watch, which was crazy to me because a few minutes earlier I was on Amazon looking for clothing to fit my need for deployment... Nevertheless, you did a good job, Sir, by explaining and demonstrating to us. Again great context, thanks
Even though I try to live a more minimalist lifestyle, my wardrobe is something that I really love. I'm always looking for new items to expand it. It fills me with joy to open the doors and see about two dozen button up shirts arranged by colour, several jackets and dress trousers, and stacks of jeans, T-shirts and sweaters. Not to mention shoes 😂
Can you do a minimalistic style outfits every month? Or something on a regular base? I really love the way you pick the outfits! Can you also maybe style some Chelsea black boots in a minimalistic way?
I'd also add a pair of brown brogues since they work with navy suits unlike black chelsea boots. And good quality penny loafers for summer, but only if you have a matching yacht.
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Toby Wade Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
👌👌👌 great video, I like how you say that this wardrobe works for you and might not be appropriate for others. My husband, Daniel 😉 works from home and used to go on international business trips. At home he is in t-shirts and hoodies and jeans, but for business trips he takes shirts. He has a minimal amount of clothes, he actually needs a new pair of jeans but we are under lockdown so he will wait until the shops reopen. I have been getting rid of clothes that I just don't wear, I like the idea of dressing smartly, but most days it's just not me.
I’ve been waiting for this video for quite a while! It made me smile that your minimalistic perspective didn’t take out colors out of your wardrobe, just like in my case!
im someone who dresses alternatively (read wants to dress alternatively bc omg is alt fashion expensive) but this video is still very helpful in assessing my mindset when it comes to clothing and the basics i can incorporate into my wardrobe to make it more sustainable and easier to wear!
I love this minimalist clothing style. I would love to change mine. I think this is going to be a good fit for me. But I'm wondering where do you get your t-shirts? Can you share some links of good quality t-shirts for this style? Are you also doing more video's regarding this style and updates or new ideas. I would love that too! :)
Great video , im cobsiderg becoming a minimalist myself, I know it doesn't hold all of life's answers , however I do feel as if it will help me become better organized and more aware to the clutter in my life
Hey Daniel, Love your videos. This is a perfect Minimalist wardrobe for him. What about her? I know your wife is not a minimalist, but can you create one for your all-female Subscribers, please according to you. I am still struggling with the choices. I am not buying new things but still not sure how to create it. Please come up with the female Minimalist wardrobe version. I am sure that will help a lot of women out there who want to be minimalist but not sure to create it including me.
I like to follow the same categories that Daniel explained, except that I follow a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 formula: 5 tops/dresses, 4 bottoms, 3 layers, 2 shoes, 1 “special item”; and then add one item to each category until you reach a wardrobe size that is comfortable for you. I also only have two weeks worth of underwear. But the principles are the same!!
This video was so satisfying to watch! It seems so easy for guys to be a minimalist 😩 I’m trying to reduce the amount of clothes I have but I keep being stuck at “what if I need it for...” Also don’t you find it challenging to be a minimalist as an Architect? I personally own so many stationeries, sketchbooks, modelling equipments etc. I always keep a spare of everything “just in case”..
Just started doing my wardrobe and got rid of loads of stuff and it feels so much better. Now learning how to get it right. Want to get dressed quickly and not waste time and unnecessary stress Just to get dressed x
I like your idea of a capsule wardrobe, it's kind of what I already do but I have more colour and prints as I do like them quite a bit. Also I live in Spain and it gets quite hot in the summer, so I have more clothes for the summer months. I find that around 2 weeks worth of any kind of item that you were a lot (except shoes) is ideal.
Could you talk more about your profession as an architect? I am planning to study architecture at university and don't really know a day in the life of an architect looks like. Maybe you could talk about your journey?
I'm a woman and I like Steve Jobs had, have a personal uniform. I wear all black with white tees sprinkled in sometimes. I have 3 pairs of shoes (well 4, if you count flip flops), a pair of white sneakers, a pair of black slip on flats, and a pair of sparkly party slip on flats. I have 1 watch that I love, and very minimal small gold pieces for earrings etc, 2 lipsticks, 1 eyeshadow pallette, 1 blush. 2 nail polishes.
Daniel: “Don’t look too deep into this list”
me: *watches this video for the nth time
It’s not just inspiring, but very satisfying to watch how smartly versatile and minimalist this wardrobe is.
I'm glad to see more guys share their capsule wardrobe!
For me, let’s call it… fashion-uneducated, this video was very helpful! I tend to be drawn toward simple and minimal aesthetics and you’ve given me some great ideas 💡 Editing was top-notch by the way - your effort did not go unnoticed! 🙌

Agreed and perhaps a pair of vans as well.

My husband is a minimalist, I will make sure his wardrobe similar to yours it looks casual yet formal to wear in any kind of events.

Love your videos, Daniel. The aesthetic is so pleasing.
For cold winter, you could add a Uniqlo vest as layering. It helps a lot, takes little space when in its bag.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. So clean & calm 💯
These include your workout wardrobe?? WOW. You are a true minimalist. I am trying to cut down my clothing items slowly. Definitely make me more motivated to do so. Thanks.
I've never understood why people put fresh t-shirts on for the gym 🤷🏻♂️

Just saying- I love the thumbnail of this video so much. I think it's simple but very clear, also visually nice to look at
Capsule wardrobes for the win!!! 🙌🌼
Yes another amazing vid! Now i do hope you do a vid on your grooming, skincare, products necessities!!!
All of those t shirt colours are my personal favourite subtle minimal and clean
I have been using Oliver Cabell for 2 years now and everytime I'm wearing it I realise how UNCOMFORTABLE but fashionable they are. I almost think these pair of shoes are just like bras for women. Really really don't like them but they look good. I think next I will go with something else, that still looks good but also comfortable.
Really? They cost about £180! I bought some white sneaks from H and M for £20 the other day. Very comfortable
Amazing advice! I’m a minimalist but my husband is not. This has given him loads to think about 😆

Pants size increments are 2", so from 72/79, 77/81, and now 82/81 (didn't realize the pants lengths were an option, okay and my legs love the extra inch), and I'm only 42 years old at currently 145Lbs, but was a heavy 150Lbs. Okay, I was a leggy 80-90Lbs prior to my police career.
4.) Police shirt - Field dress (dark blue /grey colour)
5.) Police baseball cap.
Weight about 20Lbs.
In winter and colder times my options are:
1.) Police jersey / wool v-neck pull over, almost no extra noticeable weighted
2.) Police Bunny Jacket (yes that is the name, basically a material jacket with fleasy center and 3 pockets, and a removable inner with an extra pocket), extra 2Lbs
3.) Police coat, which I call a blanket. Too hot and cumbersome with a firearm, and the hoody isn't good for anything. And weighs a good 30-40Lbs when you soaked in the rain. Extra 10Lbs dry.
4.) Rain coat, also useless, as it only keeps you dry for the first 2-5 minutes in heavy rain. Basically no weight and polyester.
Kit:
Firearm with extra magazine, 2Lbs
Holsters, extra 1Lbs
Bulletproof, extra 20Lbs
Handcuffs, extra 0.5Lbs
Torch, extra 1Lbs
When I wear civilian wear, my outfit comes down to 2Lbs in Spring and Summer, Autumn and Winter it goes to a max of 5-7Lbs because of my trenchcoat.
Civilian wear:
Heavy leather trenchcoat
Material trenchcoat
Both in a classic design
1 pair mustard formal pants
2 pairs black formal pants
3 long sleeve sweaters in different colours to go with almost anything.
5 pairs long sleeve pull overs in different colours to fit my formal pants and jeans
4 pairs of jeans, (1 soft formal pants material, almost like a tights skinny fit, 1 button up 501 Levi - hey it was and always be my go to Levi jeans (boyfriend straight cut, 1 bootleg, 1 skinny leg hugging)
2 Jackets, one mono tone, other multi tonal jacket with lots of purple in it.
4 bags (1 so small only my cards, money and keys fits in it and purple (got to love it, and in a squeeze my phone), one oversized brown bag, one pistachio colour bag that fit my purse, purple wallet, 2 cellphones, keys, pens, router and 20000mAh powerbank, or just the purse and a full size firearm), 1 black clutch bag (tissues, 1 cellphone, router, and nothing else but a lipstick or lipgloss)
2 Backpacks, one completely purple, the other purpler with white polkadots.
So, I'll grab either the pistachio or purple bag for my daily duties.
And for 5 days of the week, I don't need to think of what I'll be wearing unless I have something to do.
2 weeks worth of underwear
1 weeks worth of socks with my civilian wear.
Need to acquire a new track pants or two, my booty isn't fitting in my old ones anymore, and I get all my jogging and steps in on a daily basis, with a good few kilometers (10km+ a day). So do I call it resistance working with all that weight on me.
This video came onto my news feed just a couple of days after my partner purged his wardrobe, and he's now down to almost the exact number of t shirts, button ups and pants. Must be a formula that works!
Hi Daniel! Will you make a Canada-based version of this video? I think it’s interesting to know how your wardrobe had adjusted now that you live in a different climate.
those Adidas runners at 5:10 are dope! and they match your capsule, definitely not a mistake!
😂 Thanks! I do actually like all of my mistakes! But in the grand scheme of things, I still regret buying them
I love the white sneakers! Sharing this with my boyfriend, but as a female I also find this very interesting.
Not cheep, but maybe I give them a try.
While it's important to remember that this video is less of a definitive list of specific items and more of a guideline, I've included a list (not meant to replace the video) below for those who want one:
Tops:
- 10 T-Shirts (pastel and muted, to go with anything)
- (specifically: white, a kind of muted salmon/pink, muted light blue, olive/tan, light heather gray, olive green, forest green, dark red, navy blue, dark gray)
- 4 Button-downs (white, light blue, light blue (denim), black)
- 2 Polos (tan and white)
- 3 Sweaters (black, dark navy blue, dark red)
Bottoms:
- 1 Pair black jeans (cold weather)
- 1 Pair casual black trousers (when black jeans are too casual or in the wash)
- 2 Pairs of chinos (gray and navy, warm weather)
Outerwear:
- 1 Black overcoat
- 1 Wool jacket (dark gray/to seem smarter/more serious/more fashionable)
- 1 Black bomber jacket (gets the most use)
- 2 Hoodies for lounging (1 black, 1 gray w/ zipper)
- 1 Rain jacket (gray)
(Note: Layer the above sections for colder months. For his example, Daniel layered a white t-shirt, a black sweater, a black hoodie, the bomber jacket, and the rain coat.)
Shoes:
- 1 Pair black chelsea boots (great during the winter months, can be easily styled up or down)
- 1 Pair black trainers (get the most use, for workouts/gentle hikes/almost anything else

- 1 Black belt
Athleisure:
- 2 Pairs of shorts (black or navy)
- 2 Pairs of black sweatpants
- 2 Weeks worth of underwear and socks
Formalwear:
- 2 Suits (gray and navy because black is harder to dress down)
Mentioned but not shown, possible due to being in a dedicated box:
- Sportswear

- Thermals
- Gloves
Example outfits:
- Light gray t-shirt, black trousers, white trainers
- Black hoodie, gray chinos, white trainers

Daniel has links to the exact products he used in the description, if you're so inclined. However, he specifically states that an item that fits well will always be better than one that's branded and doesn't fit correctly, so please consider making your own choices based on what fits in-store or by taking your measurements before you shop online.
i tried to go minimalist for my wardrobe, but I made a huge mistake! I went for black and navy blue t-shirts, the problem with most dark colors is if you don't buy a very good quality, the color will fade away pretty fast after a wash or two and it's so annoying, and in my experience and the worst thing is that the quality of dark color t-shirts and even jeans don't have anything to do with the price and brand. Sometimes even the expensive ones or brand ones will disappoint you after the first or second wash...
For an odd reason, this clip showed up in my youtube recommendation to watch, which was crazy to me because a few minutes earlier I was on Amazon looking for clothing to fit my need for deployment... Nevertheless, you did a good job, Sir, by explaining and demonstrating to us. Again great context, thanks
love the white sneakers! one should have a pair. a fashion must!
I aspire to be as chill as you look in your videos ✌🏽
I started living into minimalism. Not yet there, Hopefully zoon
Even though I try to live a more minimalist lifestyle, my wardrobe is something that I really love. I'm always looking for new items to expand it. It fills me with joy to open the doors and see about two dozen button up shirts arranged by colour, several jackets and dress trousers, and stacks of jeans, T-shirts and sweaters. Not to mention shoes 😂
Same!!!!
Can you do a minimalistic style outfits every month? Or something on a regular base? I really love the way you pick the outfits! Can you also maybe style some Chelsea black boots in a minimalistic way?
I'd also add a pair of brown brogues since they work with navy suits unlike black chelsea boots. And good quality penny loafers for summer, but only if you have a matching yacht.
just subbed, keep making these videos we love them! :)
Will you ever upload again mate?
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Jake Maxton Instablaster =)
@Toby Wade Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Toby Wade it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
Yeah. I'm doing a closet overhaul and this helped put into words and imagery, what I've been thinking about. Definitely a new sub. Thanks man 🙏🏽

👌👌👌 great video, I like how you say that this wardrobe works for you and might not be appropriate for others. My husband, Daniel 😉 works from home and used to go on international business trips. At home he is in t-shirts and hoodies and jeans, but for business trips he takes shirts. He has a minimal amount of clothes, he actually needs a new pair of jeans but we are under lockdown so he will wait until the shops reopen. I have been getting rid of clothes that I just don't wear, I like the idea of dressing smartly, but most days it's just not me.
Hey Daniel, your video really helped
de-clutter my vision for my life. Thanks for making this, and keep it coming!
I’ve been waiting for this video for quite a while! It made me smile that your minimalistic perspective didn’t take out colors out of your wardrobe, just like in my case!
I hope this bare ankle trend will blow over asap. I just hate it
im someone who dresses alternatively (read wants to dress alternatively bc omg is alt fashion expensive) but this video is still very helpful in assessing my mindset when it comes to clothing and the basics i can incorporate into my wardrobe to make it more sustainable and easier to wear!
i feel this video would be very useful even after decades thank you very much (:
Daniel.. Your outfits are on point! You pretty much aced it.
your videos are always so great! I could listen to you all day.
I love this minimalist clothing style. I would love to change mine. I think this is going to be a good fit for me. But I'm wondering where do you get your t-shirts? Can you share some links of good quality t-shirts for this style? Are you also doing more video's regarding this style and updates or new ideas. I would love that too! :)
the advice we need...For me I Only wear white t-shirts with less or no printings
I could listen to you talk for days
Great video , im cobsiderg becoming a minimalist myself, I know it doesn't hold all of life's answers , however I do feel as if it will help me become better organized and more aware to the clutter in my life
Your videos never disappoint. I'm going to check out the sneakers. They look so stylish.
You should have way more views and subscribers . Your videos are great. Very well made as well.
Great video! In the process of paring down my clothes and become more minimalist so found this video very helpful!
love his minimalist style aswell and he still looks so finee
your voice is really suitable for voiceovers for audiobooks/podcasts
Is there a "what I eat in a day" video coming?
I hope there is. This video was great
🤔maybe!
@@DanielTitchener yesh yesh
Great suggestion!
I would love an updated version of this
I love you the soundtrack you use on your videos. Feels like I’m watching a netflix doco or better yet, from VOX.
Hey Daniel, Love your videos. This is a perfect Minimalist wardrobe for him. What about her? I know your wife is not a minimalist, but can you create one for your all-female Subscribers, please according to you. I am still struggling with the choices. I am not buying new things but still not sure how to create it. Please come up with the female Minimalist wardrobe version. I am sure that will help a lot of women out there who want to be minimalist but not sure to create it including me.
I like to follow the same categories that Daniel explained, except that I follow a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 formula: 5 tops/dresses, 4 bottoms, 3 layers, 2 shoes, 1 “special item”; and then add one item to each category until you reach a wardrobe size that is comfortable for you. I also only have two weeks worth of underwear. But the principles are the same!!
@@vazq_Fernanda wow! Thank you Fernanda! What a great idea!
This is literally the video i have been looking for for the last year
This video was so satisfying to watch! It seems so easy for guys to be a minimalist 😩 I’m trying to reduce the amount of clothes I have but I keep being stuck at “what if I need it for...” Also don’t you find it challenging to be a minimalist as an Architect? I personally own so many stationeries, sketchbooks, modelling equipments etc. I always keep a spare of everything “just in case”..
Just started doing my wardrobe and got rid of loads of stuff and it feels so much better. Now learning how to get it right. Want to get dressed quickly and not waste time and unnecessary stress Just to get dressed x
I like your idea of a capsule wardrobe, it's kind of what I already do but I have more colour and prints as I do like them quite a bit. Also I live in Spain and it gets quite hot in the summer, so I have more clothes for the summer months. I find that around 2 weeks worth of any kind of item that you were a lot (except shoes) is ideal.
Could you talk more about your profession as an architect? I am planning to study architecture at university and don't really know a day in the life of an architect looks like. Maybe you could talk about your journey?
Nice outfits..... good choice in colours... neutrals are mature
I love your minimalist content. Great video keep it up. 👌🏾
Loved the video. I’m slowly working on reducing my clothes down to have to have more space for working from home during the pandemic.
Your tips are amazing. I live in Copenhagen and space here is a premium so I can totally relate with your content.
love this.i like the variation
In love with your burgundy t shirt ; great content as usual btw
As I'm watching this, I'm wearing the exact same sweat pants you own. They are the very best. Good pick mate!
Love the colour coordination
Im trying out to declutter/ minimize my wardrobe and this really helps. Versatility is really the key! Nice video. New susbcriber here.
I'm a woman and I like Steve Jobs had, have a personal uniform. I wear all black with white tees sprinkled in sometimes. I have 3 pairs of shoes (well 4, if you count flip flops), a pair of white sneakers, a pair of black slip on flats, and a pair of sparkly party slip on flats. I have 1 watch that I love, and very minimal small gold pieces for earrings etc, 2 lipsticks, 1 eyeshadow pallette, 1 blush. 2 nail polishes.
Just ordered some Oliver Cabell trainers. Can't wait!
your outfits are *goals*
i'm on a journey of building a wardrobe like this. I find it suits my style and personality.
