I have always loved Calvin Klein for minimalist dressing in it’s purest form. I have never really been much of a minimalist dresser but with Calvin Kleins latest collection I coudl well be persuaded to make an exception. I ahve always thought that the key to the best minimalist clothes is the most perfect of cut. There is no pattern or intricate detail to distract and so each piece of clothing needs to be perfectly formed in fabrics of the highest quality.

Calvin Kelins SS10 collection included plenty of pieces which could easily be described in this way from the a line dress to the one sleeved bubble dress. Each piece had it’s own character with bright whites, greys and blacks in true minimalist style.

This white Calvin Klein T shirt is the ultimate in casual minimalist style.

Some brands are so strong and well recognised that the brand name actually becomes a noun in it’s own right. Think of hoovers and ipods. Hoover has such a strong brand that the brand name has even changed into a verb. I don’t want to bore everyone with too much talk of grammar though.

In the fashion world this is not so common as most fashion labels are associated with a variety of clothes. One the brands that has achieved this status is Calvin Klein. The brand has become so strongly associated with boxer shorts and mens underwear that many now buy Calvin Kleins instead of pants or boxers. For men, if there jeans slip down slightly, the Calvin Klein logo on the waist band of their Calvin Kleins has long been the sign of a connoisseur of quality under pants.
