If your wardrobe leans toward longline, clean-cut waistcoats, tailored linen trousers that balance polish with ease, and a rotation of well-cut shirts - whether crisp white, pale blue, or subtly striped - then sartorially speaking, you’re likely a minimalist. Thankfully, the high street offers plenty of pieces that fit this considered style (think Zara and fan-favourite COS), but there’s one brand in particular that delivers a masterclass in minimalism every time - and that’s Arket.
Sister brand to H&M, Arket has cemented itself as the go-to for all things minimalist since its launch back in 2017. The brand has a serious knack for nailing timeless design, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given its Nordic influence - reflected across its chic clothing range, from dresses to classic denim jeans and everything in between. Take the brand's linen trousers as the prime example, available in striped patterns that any Scandinavian It-girl would approve of, or the brand’s selection of waistcoats that are as stylish as they are practical - perfect for taking you from desk to drinks without the added fuss of an outfit change.
Of course, its new-in section continues this tradition, offering fresh, pared-back pieces that perfectly blend style and versatility for any contemporary wardrobe. So whenever I’m feeling uninspired by my current outfit rotation, I know I can rely on Arket for a new addition that adds just the right touch of freshness to my collection. Hence why I spend an ungodly amount of time refreshing the new-in section on the website.
Whether you’re looking to update your wardrobe for the sultry days ahead or perfecting your collection of oversized, breezy shirts for a trip abroad, Arket’s new-in edit is your go-to destination. We’ve handpicked the standout pieces that embody effortless Scandinavian style - but don’t wait too long - we predict they'll sell out, and fast.
