Closet Confessions: How I Interpret Minimalism | Fashion Haul | Trinny ✨

This week on Closet Confessions, I’m eschewing my love of sequins and bright colours for pared-back minimalism. A key component of minimalist dressing is creating a capsule wardrobe, so with that in mind I’m taking a few key pieces and styling them as many different ways as I can. When it comes to makeup, consider a neutral palette that brings life to your complexion without drawing attention to one area. Although I’m a self-confessed maximalist, I must admit there is fun to be found in simple black and white…
Take a whistle-stop tour through Trinny Woodall’s (fifteen) wardrobes with Closet Confessions. In each episode, Trinny deep-dives into a particular section of her closet, mixing high street, vintage, designer and everything in between. This is everything you’ve ever wanted to know about fashion and styling, from the expert herself.

I do miss the old style of Closet Confessions. It was less produced, and we got to be in Trinny’s actual closet.

[@MrVikingsandra]

I miss it too

[@Jessa32]

Me too.

[@pawelbachorski3891]

I agree - it seems overproduced & too serious

[@shaemorr]

yes!!

[@millymay0025]

I presumed these corridor confessionals are because Team Trinny are making a new book or filming something? They seem to be producing something else. Not just a confession. I have no idea who the other lady is, she seems like a producer? Hopefully Team T will go back to the real closet soon!

[@hayleywatson2125]

Miss old school CC in your wardrobe! But will always watch anything you do! But it’s starting to become unreachable when you a stylist and John there! (Despite how much we LOVE John!)!!

[@kimbatrynchuk6739]

I enjoyed this, but I like the best when Trinny is in her closet

[@yuyugo62]

Please do minimalism with colors and without neutrals! I think it would be so fun and creative, thank you!

[@robinsrach]

I agree. This is one very specific take on minimalism which is almost solely about colour. I would love to have seen a take on minimalism that is more about shape and structure, incorporating colour.

[@agataseredyn1367]

I'm a minimalist and an architect 😌 I thought I'd see Trinny's interpretations of minimalist style, and how you add your twist into it. It's a pity to watch this sets, mostly in black, and a black&white standart looks for the office. Minimalist dressing is much more than that, in my eyes. Also colors, such as beautiful grey, beige or navy, can be part of the modern minimalist wardrobe. 🙏🏻 I hope next time there will be more Trinny ideas that will be inspiring!

[@autumnnite1803]

She did say it was her take on it with clothes she already owns.

[@tredjesongen]

Well ,I found it very inspiring. I say that without adding my titles and degrees😂. A breath of fresh air really.

[@agataseredyn1367]

@@tredjesongen I said that I’m minimalist and architect, as this video supposed to be taken on this exact style, for me it’s not inspiring unfortunately.

[@patriciainportland5567]

Why do I get the feeling Trinny is *really* revealing style secrets that people aren't even consciously aware of them being needed to accurately nail a look? Listening to her I can see how little tweaks nail the fashion statement. Trinny is a master teacher. Her points/attention to the details reveal how we *all* can take full control of our wardrobe. I feel so empowered by her instruction. I am very grateful!

[@maritzamoffett8021]

An example of someone who is getting more and more beautiful as she ages. 😊

[@LisetteBrosan-zh6ul]

Always love watching Closet Confessions. The lighting and shadows are very distracting. I really miss the old style of Closet Confessions.

[@hoops8534]

I love this style! It’s a bit of me, and it’s ageless dressing. You’re so fun Trinny! Thanks for all you share ❤

[@lisadwyer200]

Loved this.Far from joyless in my opinion. Clean, strong and very stylish. ❤

[@hadleyproductions6179]

Would love to see a closet confession on stripes going vertical/horizontal, tops/bottoms, pairing with solids, jewelry , lip color

[@cocoatmidnight7611]

I am the minimalist girl, all the way. I like to see Trinny dressed in color but that is not really me. Loved this video.

[@Swaz1R]

Once the white shirt and ponytail came out trinny was channelling Karl Largerfeld ❤

[@RoyalTV_13]

Master class of style 🎉🎉🎉. I do love watching Trinny teaching us how to improve our style through such videos. She masters the great style

[@tredjesongen]

❤ THIS is Gold! Trinny has raided my closet😂. So grateful for all the help to put things together. By the way,I think Trinny is made for this style. Glowing all the way through 👍

[@heavymetalteacup]

I am enjoying this, personally! Feels like a bit of an Ann Demeulemeester vibe to a lot of the looks, and while colour is also fun, turning to the textures and layering to provide interest in this way gives such a thoughtful, serious but relaxed feel.🖤☕️⚫️

[@ronnie-lynn]

I use colour in my minimalist wardrobe. Am I the only one that feels like baby pink or lavender are like neutrals!? Both look amazing with camel, navy, off white, cream and beige. Endless options!

[@carmengrauwels]

Thinking the same 🪻🌸🐫 is just 😘👌🏻

[@notaclue822]

I think being tall makes layering easier. This kind of style is very restrained and not for me personally, but it's always fun to watch. Please do punk/ grunge if you think its doable for a mature demographic.

[@annabiggs2534]

This style of dressing is so not me but I’m now inspired to try. I could listen to Trinny talk styling all day long.

[@nerminacamovic1600]

i liked al these ideas, but I suggest you do the second part on minimalism where you include all neutrals.

[@Dobby-1611]

Yes I have to agree I much prefer the old style closet confessions

[@strangeamanda7470]

This is perfect for me and actually not far from the way I have been trying to dress. I am a 56-year-old Goth preferring to make my look more elegant than grunge now. I do like the rock chick look, but I prefer a minimalist futuristic style. I think you could colour block also as a minimalist, but I wouldn’t 😊 Love love this.

[@mandykate641]

Miss the old style CC , loved seeing you grab things out of your wardrobe to develop a look. Felt more authentic to the process that we all do at home.

[@celesterakhale7496]

Ohhhhhh I'm a huge fan of minimalism. ..every outfit made my mouth water....stunning !

[@emiller1439]

YES!!! Love this style--no fuss, no frills. Extremely chic.

[@alisonauchterlonie8212]

I love these looks. They are my favourite edgy/minimal.

[@kuratedkiez7905]

Trinny is ready for a weekend in Berlin

[@mjbalmmac1588]

I would love to see this not using black but another basic colour. Black is so harsh and often never look best for so many

[@kerosenequeen1076]

As we learned from Trinny.

[@northwoodfalls1403]

Minimalism is definitely home for me. I have been really enjoying this series and have picked up some inspo from each but none of them make my whole person sing like this one. Love every piece and how you styled them all. LOVE that white shirt especially. And those old Celine oxfords. Fabulous.

[@kakuella]

I like final looks being more polished and well thought out. However, I do agree with others that previous setting worked better. I wish you guys can combine both into this series and make it closet confession 3.0

[@racheliza7604]

You can absolutely do minimalist dressing with colour . Fun video, thank you xx

[@annemacdonald7039]

Brilliant! I love love love this series. Thank you, Trinny and your amazing team.

[@uhar2411]

All outfits looking pretty cool. Love the side parting of the hair. Very chic.

[@ChantelleDavy-bb3ul]

Adore this one! Would love to see images of the 34 styles for inspo so I can try to replicate. Just fantastic ladies!!!

[@CountieLt25]

So cleaver! I liked this so much more than I thought I would. Particularly the feeling you get when you embrace this look.

[@patmccullough5885]

That gilet is brilliant. I do occasionally dress B&W minimalist. I see how a gilet would add a whole new dynamic. Adding it to my wish list. I think this minimalist episode really drives home the architecture of the garments without the distraction of color. I know the format of the closest confessions episodes is different, but I’m getting over my nostalgia for the less formal chats. Please continue these. With the underlying commitment to no-buy or low-buy this year, these episodes emphasize what is already in one’s closet. Loving it.

[@sheilasimpson9463]

Although a minimalist in my home funny enough I don't dress like one ....I love prints and colour so would love to see your take on this with colour!! But a good black and white outfit is an essential in a wardrobe I could not do it all the time!!!

[@louanneross6410]

Love this video. Black and white looking stylishly cool even when minimalistic.

[@janelabonte9418]

I really liked this more than expected, and it's far from my typical style. But I love the idea and look of a clean, stylish work capsule. I would adapt it with colour. So inspired. Thank you. ❤

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! I love the garments, but I never wear black or white. Minimalism does not have to be black/white.

[@priscillawebb]

Love your new place and no matter where you live you bring excellent style and upmost joy to us in makeup, skincare with all your Closet Confessions and wardrobe shopping. Though I live in the US and my lifestyle is very casual at work , I can always use and styling pieces of your posts to blend in with style. Consider doing another Closet Confessions with casual layering pieces with lots of jeans, tees, sneakers with a mix in of boho type vibe as we head into summer.

[@TeresaMurphy-ll3gx]

Love everything you do Trinny and team… so inspiring love it all, such a treat every week . Love the makeup John does for each look fab ❤

[@Stargazer77779]

Now I know my style is minimalism!

[@christinemack2153]

Thanks, Trinny, loving the series. This look is so NYC. xo

[@alamedadanceparty]

Thank you for breaking down minimalist fashion! I have been wondering about this one ms requested this style review. Thank you!! 🙏

[@KatherineJegede]

I wonder what's brewing, this style of closet confessions seems as if Trinny is about to launch a fashion brand or something. 🤩

[@starlightshimmery]

Excited about this! Great for architects!

[@isabelgomes6118]

This describes my dressing 80% of the time

[@oliverkitkat6860]

Loveing the first black dress ❤

[@kerrykerr5979]

As always, CC is amazing! Would love to see some spring /summer fashion, how Trinny will interpret the trends. Thank you for all your hard work

[@pennygrimes8425]

Would LOVE to see eclectic with 8 pieces in different colour palettes. Loved Gemima's thought about great for packing! Missing colour, from someone who doesn't have a single piece of black in the wardrobe 🤣

[@sallykins3800]

Trinny is a such a great stylist , I love the PVC raincoat and the structured black tank top 👌🏻

[@rowan3946]

Love your ponytail🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧

[@fibbermcghee23]

LOVE THIS SESSION!

[@juniorcharles3463]

This was a great lesson about how with a few stylish pieces great" looks"can be made. Each piece of clothing stands out from the crowd. Had they all been "run of the mill" the resulting looks would probably have ended up looking, dare I say it, drab! I would love to see a similar lesson in monochrome styling but using a colour that is not necessarily a neutral. Trinny has such wonderful clothes in all the colours of the rainbow that it would be a shame not to!

[@marsiana]

minimalism can also be done with color.. i dont think its only black white and or gray

[@denisemc607]

Love this vibe so much ❤

[@martinjewiss1059]

Absolutely love the barely there makeup look Trinny, its beautiful. love all of the outfits but like you said....missing some colour, I need to go through my wardrobe and try some of these outfits for myself. Thank you for inspiration Trinny. Laura

[@nicolebeauchamp7622]

I am loving this series.

[@alisonhardy6787]

Very modern Trinny! like your hair styled like that

[@rowan3946]

I’m a minimalist although I think of it as more masculine or simple yet dramatic lines. I feel less vulnerable as a female when I dress like this. Still sexy and stylish but not girly. Love your pieces and the monster boots rock !🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧

[@katprice13]

Your style is amazing thank you 🙏🏽

[@atlanticgirl76]

Thank you thank you! I love fashion but don't understand the rules of proportion and texture. Your videos make it much more clear ❤

[@ruthdinkelman6345]

Love the video. I love a video like this with clothes and shoes I can buy in store right now. ❤❤❤

[@Nushka1962]

Why does minimalist have to be black? Trinny has mentioned hundreds of time how black doesn't suit her.

[@jeanmaddison2362]

I loved everything 😀

[@DZ48994]

Wow That is totally my favorite style. ..🎉

[@moonchild66]

Love this vibe🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chrissietheoneandonly5968]

Sweet Trinny we all miss the old clossed confessions!!! 😢😢😢 Can you bring it back please! 🙈💯💖🥳

[@louiselill1528]

Loved all the looks except for the jacket everything else was perfection.

[@ablambert100]

Loved this capsule, thank you for the inspiration, seeing the evolutive effects of additions and alternatives. I do gravitate towards these minimalist looks, my misfortune is that black is horrible on me…so I revert to replacing black with dark cool greys, or navy, or making sure black is not close to my face.

[@anusadana8139]

I love your new hair Trinny, looks modern!!

[@DesireeGonza]

I really liked the video. I’m a minimalist and look to your videos to get inspiration on how to get out of the box. Minimalism doesn’t have to be all black. Actually all black made It look more goth in my opinion. My favorite look was the white shirt and black pants. Always thankful for your ideas on how to layer clothes. ❤

[@lizr.7440]

Loved it 🔥🔥 thanks.

[@verobuzzele4074]

What a great video

[@katierowboat]

god i adore that dion lee bag!!! putting it on my vision board ;)

[@moonchild66]

Just soooooo chic🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@malgorzatabujnarowski2078]

❤Timeless elegance!

[@cattfuller]

Question: what to do when you are in heated indoor environment? Taking off layers and layers?? Don’t get me wrong, I love all the layers and the assembles sure make the look unique and interesting.

[@LeeYouTube2024]

What a shame the lighting was off in this video 😊

[@wb-lr9ig]

Can you do more minimalist looks with neutrals and color please? I know it’s not your fav but I thought you nailed it with bl/wh.

[@sarah.marco888]

This is great, such restraint! Haha but I think Trinny best as a maximalist 😅 with the color and the prints and everything in between 😅❤

[@style-and-you5534]

Loved this minimalist outfits selection! Where is this beautiful cuffed white shirt with a big collar from please?????

[@kayelle8005]

My style!

[@traceycrofts2776]

Trinny would look good in a bin bag!! Xx

[@ewarozmus1611]

Amazing ❤

[@brigittecastrucci6541]

Oh my Trinny with your hair side parted you looked positively youthful a young fresh girl ❤

[@theresawaveyme4482]

I think this is my jam, minimalism. Can you show a summer minimalism dress show..be cool to see your take, which I trust.

[@saradeforche7040]

I miss the old closed confessions 😢

[@daisysui1513]

Trinny ideas on kibbe body types for style inspiration

[@jacquivanzyl9027]

Love new setting❤minimalist look these way to go, what is in-between minimalist and eclectic🤔

[@tinejensen3388]

Very ageless and serious style! But the lack of colour is so hard to watch for a colour addict😅 I don't even have a white shirt!!!😂 And only black trousers with gold buttons!!! 😁Could there maybe some time in the future be "room" for a Purple Confession?💜 I'm really missing some inspiration in that department🥹😃🤞

[@deniseyounger6004]

It’s a little hard looking but I love it but I’ve spent a few years trying to break in colour. What about body shapes does it only suit tall slim women as yourself? Thanks for sharing this video 🦋

[@thecarjacful]

White shirt and black trousers, channelling Uma Thurman in pulp fiction. Just needed a little dance 😊

[@cristinadergarabedian4570]

Excelente 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@pawelbachorski3891]

I thought Trinny never wore black?

[@josypierini-zc9fy]

Where Kann I find that dress 👗? I love it 🥰

[@aliceinwonderland.2080]

Sorry,but I don’t equate minimalist looks with just black and white or lots of layering. I don’t think it’s Trinny’s personal style at all as she’s all about bright and contrasting colours as well as more flamboyant pieces.I think minimalist fashion is more to do with less fussy,simple but chic designs and tonal dressing with understated accessories.

[@mitchbonnielewandowski7142]

Please do a capsule wardrobe with color ❤

[@erica6825]

My least favourite CC ever. I didn't like the look or any of the clothes. It's suprising because I mostly wear black and dress very 'unfussily' too. I always admire all of Trinny's wonderful 'bird of paradise' colours and WISH I could make them work for myself. Also miss seeing Trinny's fab wardrobes in the background. Maybe because it's more inspirational to me. But regardless of all of the above, always always love Trinny and team - and the Closet Confessions make my Saturday:)
