Style is all about balance.

A blend of color.

A mix of patterns.

A juxtaposition of shapes.

To me, style without balance falls flat.

That’s why I’ve never been a fan of maximalism or minimalism. They’re two sides of the same coin.

And they’re both missing something.

The people whose style I admire most have a balance.

When most of us think of “high-low” style, we think of cost. And that definitely applies. But we also need to consider the other aspects of our wardrobe when applying this concept.
