quality is so hard to come by these days, i’m so confused on what is durable and what will just put a hole in my pocket, im not sure for minimalism if trial and error is the best option but i will have to research for sure! i think the best way of preventing waste and mental clutter is just buying simple items that always work, you like and last forever, i’m just looking for the right ones!

Almost 100% cotton (or linen/cashmere/wool but it’s harder to wash and you can’t dry linen clothes) stuff is a good start. I do this and my closet has all high quality clothes I’m excited and happy to wear and I think look great. I also don’t buy anything on a shopping trip unless I find something amazing that I need and know will love in my closet. If I don’t want it and made a mistake I return it. Most shopping trips I don’t buy anything. That’s how you end up with good stuff, not NEEDING to buy if there’s nothing good.
