Conciseness in clothing design means restraint in color, lack of oversaturation with decorations and various details, discreet beauty and sophistication, quality cut, elegance and expressiveness.
For the first time, a laconic design appeared at the suggestion of Coco Chanel. Her little black dress and fitted jackets with narrow skirts have become classics of laconic style for all time. Conciseness in design does not mean simplicity, it is, in Coco’s words, “luxurious simplicity.”
Simple and concise clothing design is also called “minimalism”. Nowadays, this style is characterized by the following features:
- Refinement and elegance;
- Using discreet colors;
- Choice of plain fabrics;
- Laconic cut;
- High quality of materials used;
- Perfect fit and high quality workmanship.
As a rule, a laconic background uses solid white, black, beige and gray images, but in the 2022 season, famous designers proposed making adjustments and added bright shades to the minimalist color palette.These are green, wine, purple, pink, blue, brown. But they should also be slightly muted.
Laconic design is the complete absence of any intricate, elaborate details and elements in clothing, a simple hairstyle, natural makeup and a calm manicure.
People often ask: “What kind of laconic girl is this?”
A laconic girl is a girl who stands out from the crowd not with her brightness and unusualness, but with her sophistication, sophistication and nobility. And believe me, it will not go unnoticed.
The minimalist style is impossible without laconic dresses. A laconic dress is a dress with a simple silhouette, without unnecessary details. It is self-sufficient and expressive in itself and does not require additional decorations.
A dress with a laconic cut can be slightly voluminous, made of soft textured fabric. Such materials look very noble and expensive. The fabrics used are tweed, knitwear, cashmere, wool, silk, and cotton.
Minimalism is a very popular style not only in clothing, but also in room design and selection of accessories. This is the iconic style of this year.
If you choose this style of clothing, you must understand that it will not be the clothes themselves that will attract attention to you, which will serve as the background for the impeccable appearance of your face, hairstyle and makeup, but the whole image as a whole.
