I appreciate his comment, because I was automatically thinking that this way of dressing eliminates multicolor patterns of any type ( my darling plaid coats!!! my favorite scarves!! Even my favorite shoes are multicolored 😅) I did except long ago that I am in maximalist: my home, my wardrobe, studio Are filled with vibrant, high contrast colors, and this brings me great joy! I completely got that some folks are overwhelmed by their closets, uncertain how to put things artfully together, whether that is a kitchen nook or a garden or an outfit that makes you feel great. I understand the need for simplicity when we are overwhelmed by choices. I understand the desire to look elegant and well put together, as all the models in the example photos. But I vibrate more along the lines of Iris Apfel. A wardrobe filled with beige and gray and black garments would not soothe me, would not inspire me, but would depress me. While I’m def not promoting consumerism, We all don’t have to be minimalists just bc it’s “in fashion.” Every fashion is not for everyone person! If it helps you live your best life, great!

So probably a slant take away, but as someone who knits their own sweaters, remembering how the finished garment will fit with my larger wardrobe when looking at all the pretty, fun and squishy colorways. I've realized recently I need to figure out the project before getting the yarn. And now I need to add thinking about the finished thing too.

Yes, it's so annoying! I love black, but as an autumn myself, a very dark brown suits me better, but good luck finding that. I do my best to find pieces that are faded black, rather than true black.

A friend gave me some valuable advice. Ask of each item, is it pretty and I’m just attracted to it, or is it handsome and I want to live with it for a long time. Thanks for everything you do, Hannah.

This is both really good advice and advice I probably won't follow. I LOVE playing with color so much. And I'm lucky to have always had a solid instinct about how to mix colors harmoniously. I just assumed everyone could do this. I would tell people "just put the two things beside each other, you can instantly tell if something's off or if they sing together". I'd be legitimately confused when a person couldn't do it. But many people have no clue. Giving very clear rules, boundaries and explanations I imagine is way more helpful to them than what I was offering. She's giving people practical tools that they can sharpen and then use in more complex ways down the line. Fantastic!

I would argue that if a winter coat completely covers your shirt, then you can essentially wear two different bichromatic outfits-one involving your outerwear and accessories, and the other which is your shirt and bottoms. An interesting idea to avoid wardrobe confusion though.

Largely thanks to your wisdom over the past year, I've been able to slowly make positive changes in my closet and work towards building a wardrobe I love. This advice about color simplicity has given me the permission to really embrace the few colors I truly love, instead of having an item of every color I like for "versatility's" sake.

*nervously looking down at my three colored top*

I've started looking more closely at the shots of a lot of minimalist or minimalist-adjacent influencers and realizing that the size of my wardrobe has been impractically tiny, much much smaller than people who curate deliberately minimalist wardrobes, for nearly my entire life. I struggle with dressing so much and it's become clear to me that the reality is I just don't have enough clothing and probably never have. I don't know what I'm doing wrong either, but I don't feel that I shop that little? I get tired of clothes or never like them in the first place, but wore them because I couldn't just go out naked. I don't know what to do about it. But I do think that building a capsule around a small number of cohesive colors is the first step, just so I can make outfits reliably at all.

I love this advise! After seeing this video, I have organized my wardrobe by color and that simple step has make my dressing so much easier! My colors are black, white/cream and red. And I find out some blue/green garments and now I understand why it was so difficult for me to craft outfits with those pieces, they are out of my color palette! Now that I know this, I will try to make outfits combining them with black and white to see what can I achieve! Wish me luck 😅

I have slowly ensured that I have every type of go-to shoe and bag in both black and beige/tan/brown and it has been revolutionary 🤯

"Aesthetically practical" I love this!!!

I've been doing something like this for a really long time, and I love it! (I don't always do 2 colors, but 3.) My color palette is really tight: navy/various shades of blue, white/ivory, various shades of green, and cognac accessories. I have a few pieces in light gray, also. I've long gotten bemused looks/comments from family, friends, and coworkers. (My mom is particularly appalled that I don't wear black--not even to work.) But I find it so. Much. Easier. to shop and get dressed. I feel so much more confident in my personal style. It's also way easier to keep your closet more minimalist/manageable, know what you have, take care of your clothes, and actually wear everything you have. If you're not a person who wants to wear *all the colors, all the time,* I highly recommend this approach.

I've worn all black for the better part of 40 years since my teens. Last year, I decided to try adding some browns in to enhance dimensionality-it has really worked a treat! I dye my hair dark auburn with henna, so this all goes together beautifully & has really improved my style even as this late in the fashion game (mid 50's avant garde stylista). My inspiration sources have always been art nouveau and arts & crafts movements of the early 19th century, and it's so thrilling to still be evolving my aesthetic in new/old ways!

Ok, HLP. You and your “bichromatic color palette” have been living rent free in my head for the past 3 weeks and I still don’t know how I feel about it. I can’t get dressed without thinking about it.

Mustard, navy, forest green, black and off white have been my colors for years. It happened organically and I realized it later!

I almost always wear jeans on the bottom. Could you do a video around styling tops with jeans? I feel like my looks are kinda stale and would love your take on this. Thanks Hannah! 😊

This concept helps me relax a bit about my wardrobe choices. When an outfit doesn't work for me I "file" it as experience and move on to the next outfit.

This insight hits so clearly in my "what's cheering me up lately" lane. Whenever I'm feeling like garbage I notice that I've layered on many odd colors, textures and worn myself ragged with chaos. No wonder I feel lost. To the closet I must go and dress head to toe in a single color/tone/hue, pile my hair high on my head and I'm back to the land of the living. I never tire of this advice you share.

I love this advice but it leaves me in a big dilemma regarding my blue jeans. I want to keep wearing them but, with the exception of jeans, it's not a colour I want to wear a lot of. Maybe I should just get black ones next time...

I find a restricted palette very useful, and having had a Zyla color palette done, find it easy to build a wardrobe based on midnight blue, teal, and bone/champagne. There are infinite variations in those colors and they create an easy, harmonious look with little effort.

I love doing this and you are right when you say it makes it easier to figure out what to add to your wardrobe. I wear mostly black and grey but I love to add lilac or lime green as my stand out colour, which I usually wear as a top/jumper or a shoulder bag. I considered getting a lime green scarf to drape over my black coat to brighten up the winter! It adds fun but still fits my minimalist wardrobe.

Your fashion videos have fundamentally changed how I shop and think about clothing. Thank you.

I can confirm that having limited color palette is the way to go. For me it's black, white and red. I've been doing it for years and it is the best thing I did for saving my money, time and energy. Plus I always look put together.

I've been trying to set certain rules for myself when buying clothes, being more concious of the materials that serve me than i used to be, and boy it's hard. I'm a plus size girlie, around your height, with large feet in a remotely situated country-island, with not a great budget, no access to 2nd hand/thrift/consignment stores, and I'm struggling, but this still makes sense. I hope that one day I'll get there. Also, i wear a lot of jeans, and i don't consider blue to be one of my kain colours, but when i do wear jeans, i only add one colour to the rest of my look (or usually do so). Its like i have 2 main colours plus jean, and then a couole of accents ❤️

As a former poetry undergrad (35 years ago), I’m chuckling heartily at Bichromatic Dressing for the Aesthetically Practical…I love your intellectualizing of our daily beauty choices. I’d love to see you address changing styles as we age…at mine, it’s about not being frumpy.

I actually think articulating my primary and secondary colours has been *the* most useful tool in guiding not just getting dressed, but the process of shopping. There is something to be said for the benefits it provides at home - a harmonious and peaceful closet space, ease of daily dressing, and perhaps most noticeably: simplifying packing for trips. But being able to almost immediately discern that a garment - whilst beautiful - with time, will not make me feel my best, changed everything. It’s empowering. It’s freeing. I don’t agonise over purchasing decisions like I once did. And I know that when I do choose to add something to my wardrobe, I’m so much closer to it being a purchase of longevity and genuine utility.

I love this, a banquet of food for thought. I came to a similar place on a different path -- I'm a pale "true" winter and *objectively* I look best in jewel tones (which tend to work well as accents) but I'm not a monochrome-fuchsia kind of gal. I've made peace with the fact that my staple colors I feel most comfortable (and pretty) in are black, gray and burgundy/wine. I do have some bright scarves and handbags I wear with an otherwise monochrome outfit, which seems to satisfy my occasional need for emerald green, cobalt blue, cherry red, etc.

I was shocked to realize whatching your video that I dress like this most of the time. With a few caveats, like denim is not a color, so it doesn't count normally, and colorful dresses are okay as long as the colors work with my wardrobe. Also, gray is essentially black/white. 😉 And then I was even more surprised when I remembered that my mom used to tell me when I was little, picking my clothes out for kinder, that sticking to 2 main colors was "best style." I've totally forgotten about this fond memory, thanks for reminding me!

This was the hardest lesson, and lesson that took me the longest to learn! After you implement this, and stop just "buying pretty colors" and "just buying what you like" I finally have the stress gone from my wardrobe, plus I love it so much moee

I'm a professional artist and I totally know why you give this advice. However, as a painter, I am trained in colour and will do my own thing. BUT, your point about already having chosen your basic colours is very true! We naturally gravitate toward those colours that make us happiest and should use that ability in choosing a wardrobe. I love green! I mean I really love green!!!! And yellow! And grey. Heres the thing, all colours have that wide area of deviation. As you said, white includes cream and some light greys, the same is true of greens and yellows. I have olive to leaf to gold greens and i wear them with all sorts of shades of yellow, grey and black. Black is either the absence of light or the mixing of all colours, so it really goes with everything. Colour theory is facinating to me and our reaction to it, is very individual and apt to change with life circumstances. Minimalist is practical and elegant. I'm a hobbit who loves colour, food and comfort.

"wham-bam-kapow flashy splashiness" 😄

I do this ALL the time, but with maybe five colours in my wardrobe. And I wear... just about three at a time, because my aesthetic is not minimalist. And I have a palette of contrasting accent colours, too! I think this approach is actually very helpful even beyond a minimalist aesthetic, it can be used to create a lot of visual interest as well.

I match the colour of the bottom garment with one colour from the print, wear earrings in a similar colour + black shoes to match the fabric of the t-shirt. This way I put together outfits I had never thought about on my own!

Yes!!! As a longtime wears only all black at all times in all situations dresser, your video on monochromatic and tonal outfits was *THE KEY* to helping me integrate different colors into my wardrobe after years of unsuccessful attempts. Love this tip as an extension of that strategy.

The black parka is perfect to go with outfits, but wait until you take it off at a bar and have to identify it among a sea of black winter coats (not speaking from experience, I absolutely didn't start crying at a work event because I couldn't find my coat with my car and house keys in the pocket). I wish my charcoal gray coat was less heavy duty, much easier to find it haha This video has a lot of food for thought! I'm still never going to be a wardrobe minimalist, but the idea of a deliberate and strong preferred color palette as a guide is evocative. In particular the discussion of a white/black/accent wardrobe has me thinking of the color grading of Sin City. Very striking!

The reason Hannah’s fashion advice resonates so much for me is because it’s non-prescriptive. It’s not predicated on moral judgements, “shoulds” or “should-nots.” She articulates her own methods and offers them as possibilities. She presents tools for balancing beauty with lifestyle, and it’s so empowering, not guilt-tripping or consumption-inducing. This video has me deeply considering my wardrobe in a new light, and I don’t feel bad for having every color. Instead, I’m thinking about my own “why” for loving certain clothes I own, and not loving others as much. Hannah inspires me to create my own methods and tools.

The more I think about this the more I think it’s genius. Your choice of illustrations is so on point.

Hi, Hannah. Excellent timing. I'm right at the beginning of my "online time". :)

I only really follow this when traveling. It's very useful to have everything in the luggage go with everything else. (red and black). But then when I get home, what a treat. Olive Green! Beige! Gorgeous and delicious.

I think having an in-office job from 20 years old to now has prolonged the junior high school mentality of impressively rarely repeating an outfit and wearing as many different styles and colors as possible, lest I seem boring to someone. I know it sounds silly as I’m in my 40s, but it’s somehow a difficult paradigm shift. It has lead to a closer full of clothes I rarely wear and a few things I wear out due to frequency. I am graciously trying to embrace the wardrobe minimalist method. If it weren’t for my inner 13 year old people pleaser worried about what Jane thinks about my outfits, I would be a female Steve Jobs wearing a black top and blue jeans every day. Thank you for giving me more tools to help me on my journey!

It sounds to me like bichromatic style is a healthy addition to the “one, ton, or none” rule (I think that’s from Tibi?), or it’s simply an application of the style concept of repeating a statement color in different aspects of a look within the “one” of “one, ton, or none”. It’s a rule I’ve kind of been following without realizing it’s a rule.

I think that you are right that “one, ton, or none” is from Tibi. I just saw a video about the “one, ton, or none” concept from Christina Mychas!

This is such a great companion philosophy to the Tibi color wheel. There are 4 levels of saturation - each its own "ring". Black is in the center with warm and cool neutrals on the next ring, shaded colors next, then brights and their tinted counterparts on the outer edge ring. Very interesting and touched on some color instincts that I previously was not able to articulate/ put into solid practice. Thank you for sharinf this strategy! I learn so much from you❤

Hands down the most useful fashion video I've watched on minimalism.

Life changing!!! Thank you

I've just cataloged my entire wardrobe in the indyx app and only now am I realizing why it's harder for me to style my dark green pieces when my colours are pretty much the same as yours.

This was so helpful, thank you!

Thank you, Hannah 🫶🏽

I love your point about looking at the item in context with your wardrobe, and not in isolation. I've slowly learned that lesson over the years. It is easy to say yes to the show pony pieces, when realistically, I need a large majority of workhorse items.

Amazing video and so well articulated!

I absolutely LOVE your fashion content!!!

This video validates me, because I usually feel guilty for shopping the same colors over and over.. 😅

This was an incredible video, thank you!!

love you girl

Very relevant!❤ Thank you.

That was soo useful. Thank you. I have always struggled with my wardrobe and haven’t had enough focus on footwear,bags and accessories. I suddenly understand that this makes a huge difference in the overall look. Thank you for sharing these tips.

GREAT video! Thank you

Ooh a new Hannah video just in time to watch before I leave for work!

so simply stunningly brilliant

❤❤❤❤❤ validations of my own practicality

Love your videos! ❤

Love every suggestion you make. So classy & elegant

I do something similar, which is I try to stick to ‘tints’ - so any colour but within it is a mix of white. I shop the rainbow but it harmonises better for me. If there is grey or black, even just a drop, it’s out - I know it will overwhelm me. I’ve found this the best way for me to have a pretty vast range of colour but it’s cohesive (at least to my eye).

Phenomenal! Nailed it soul sister!

This is soooo helpful. Thank you

Fantastic video!!! Will try it !!

So helpful! Thank you! This is very timely for me.

Never did I think I would find videos like this interesting; but I LIIIIVE for them!!!!! 🤣 I watched this entire thing thinking about my closet the whole time. You've changed my habits and outlook on shopping. Most interesting channel EVER! THANK YOU!!!!!
