View submission: Practical minimalistic wandrobe
I have found that 50-70 pieces is optimal for me in a four season climate. This doesn't include underwear and socks. Quality and materials matter a lot, brand doesn't matter at all. What I LOVE matters, then I don't get bored with them or get the itch to replace, but am happy to wear the pieces over and over and over.
I have a mix of basics like jeans and t-shirts and wool sweaters (they are essentials for me in the cold months) and stuff that is one step up in formality level, button-downs, blazers, blouses, dresses. Most of my clothes are navy, cream, white, black, brown, with some brighter colors to keep it more interesting and provide variety. A lot of blue in my wardrobe, but I also have some bright yellow and red and green. I keep my bottoms on the neutral side, and have colors in the tops and dresses. This makes it super easy to combine the pieces, pretty much any top and any bottom go together.
The sweet spot number for me comes from about 16 years of experience in minimalism. I lived with about 20 pieces for a couple of years after losing everything in a house disaster, and it was just too little for me (especially in 4 season climate). But when my wardrobe starts to grow to over 70 pieces, I find that I don't wear everything and I start to feel overwhelmed.

Where do you get your wool sweaters?
