I’m not usually a minimalist. When it comes to my personal sartorial choices, I’m typically a subscriber to the “more is more” theory. (More sequins, more color, more sparkle… MORE!) If my social media streams were any indication, EVERYONE in the US spent the weekend binge watching Season 2 of Netflix’s smash original series, ‘House of Cards’. I was glued to my tv, and finished the last episode at 3am last night! (This morning?) Two episodes in, a funny thing happened… I caught myself waiting to see what Robin Wright’s character, Claire Underwood, would be wearing next! The very definition of a minimalist, Claire Underwood’s sartorial choices are just as calculating as her husband’s political strategy. Opting for sleek, sculptural shapes in a muted, neutral color palette, she’s effortlessly chic and polished at every moment. I’m tempted to emulate her style and scoped out some key pieces to get her look! I typically go for pieces that are a little funkier, but every girl needs to go classic and sleek every now and then. See below and let me know in the comments: did you watch ‘House of Cards’? Would you wear Claire’s minimal look?

I adore Claire’s look. I’ve just finished Series 2 (a bit late) and am hooked. I’m a mum with two small children but NEVERTHELESS I want her look. NOW!!! Can do the hair, to an extent, and my own style is minimalist anyway with a bit of mania (I’m English), so I’m doing my best, and thank you for your suggestions!
Hi Charlotte! The funny thing is, I love watching a show when it’s been on for awhile… because then you can just binge watch it! (That’s my favorite part about it being on Netflix! But then we have to wait a whole year for the new season, argh!) You have to avoid spoilers, though. The great thing about Claire’s look is that the pieces are so classic and timeless… you’ll wear them forever. So glad you liked this post, thanks so much for commenting! (By the way- did you see mynewer How To Dress Like House OF Cards’ Claire Underwood post? It has loads of other suggestions as well, plus it’s more current so the majority of the product is still available!
