Discover some of our favorite minimalist-inspired pieces from Macy’s.

Spring may be a time of change, transforming everything from our closets to the great outdoors, but some of us aren’t ready to give up certain elements of our winter wardrobes just yet. For those who would rather wade into the season slowly, there’s a key transitional style moment to enjoy before we fully launch into spring’s bright colors and patterns. That tranquility is expressed through the minimalist look, a springtime style trend that is made for those of us who lean toward subtlety.

While some maximalists may view minimalism as limiting, we assure you this trend is far from it. It consists of natural tones, a celebration of texture, and of-the-moment pieces that are still versatile enough to transcend beyond spring. To help your foray into the world of minimalist chic, Macy’s is here with all the stylish-yet-simple pieces you’ll want, from ribbed dresses that are sure to become a staple in your closet, to puffy clutch bags that hold all of your essentials. Discover some of our favorite minimalist-inspired pieces below, and see how you can incorporate them into your own spring style.
