STYLE NOTES ON: ANOUK YVE

I have analyzed eleven looks from Anouk Yves' Instagram feed and it turned into a style master class for minimal styling and summer dressing. So read and save this post now or regret it later.

Anouk Yve has been on my radar for as long as I can remember to be using Instagram. She is a content creator from the Netherlands, has her own ceramics studio and a belt line and the most beautiful blonde curly hair.
Her minimal style has always inspired me. So when

suggested in one of her comments that I could do a Style Notes on her, I wondered why I hadn’t thought of it before.

And then I knew: Her style has become different from what I envision for my own wardrobe. She was my biggest inspiration when I went to law school - her very classic, streamlined looks have resonated with me a hundred percent. Now, with a few other influences around me, my style has become a bit more relaxed.

So while not all of her outfits seem to be working for me, I decided to analyze eleven of Anouk’s looks and see why I liked them. And I hadn’t expected this to be this helpful for my own wardrobe.

So here’s what I discovered about my own style by deciding which looks I loved and then analyzing them:

• I would always prefer a structured bag over a slouchy bag because my looks often consists of flowy materials and oversized silhouettes.

• Repeating elements is something I also do (color and materials).

• When going for oversized on oversized silhouettes, I prefer heavy material and high-quality pieces.

• Well, ehm, no surprise, I love high-waist pants.

• I need to do a sleek ponytail more.

  This was so, so insightful for me - something I hadn’t expected to be honest. So thanks again,
