Monk vs double monk

I want a lucid black pair to match with a suit for everyday use. Which one is your pick, Veeky Forums: monks or double monks?

both look good, but id go for single strap for everyday use

double monks seem more practical from a protective standpoint

one strap but with a small strap buckle like in the two strap

If you have to go with one, you should go with single.

Otherwise, avoid them in general. They're pretty much pointless garbage.

Oxfords. Boom.
Brogues / Derby for a more casual shoe.

Keep it classic.

Single straps are generally nicer with suits imo (more plain, strap often hidden by pants) whereas double are easier to pull off in a more casual context. Both are nice casual or formal though

none

I prefer standard monk over double. single is more versatile.

single. double is for pitti uomo/trendy types

Bump for interest.

Are he monks valid replacements for derby/brogues?

are you peter pan or a gq editor from 2010? of the answer is no, do not buy either

triple monk

or quintuple monk...whatever

If you have a particular fondness for them, then why not. But i think the double monks have a sort of douche air in them

>why not
>[double] monks have a sort of douche air in them
You answered yourself. I don't want to look like a douche.

triple the retard. or quintuple.
I don't think is douchness, but a kind of smugness. Unless is a very sturdy one, like pic related.

Not really, they're a bastard item. They're more formal than a derby/blucher but less so than an oxford.

Likewise, the double buckle is more complex than the single and thus tends to be even less formal, but still more formal than the derby/blucher.

So, what you have is a shoe that really isn't business formal, but also a bitch to dress down without looking pretentious. I have no idea why people wear them.

i actually kinda like the chunky ones, like paraboot(pic related)

That looks like shit. People would laugh at you if you wore that douche shoe in public. You must be autistic.

Single, more elegant.

god damn those are beautiful...

Literally this.

bump

'liderally'

THE TRUE monk passing by

...

Single strap every time, double monks are a meme

only pair of shoes itt that look good

they're both tacky and unnecessary.

I use double for everyday.

I just match them with the belt and the watch strap.

look, niggers/americans!
yes,if you live in a shitty place avoid this kind of shoes.(or if you are a young guy)

But anyone asking this kind of questions works on a suit everyday and shoes are one of the little personality spot you get.

>I just match them with the belt and the watch strap.
cringe

I like double a lot more myself. Plan on getting a pair for Christmas

Nigger, I wear a suit for a living. Monk Straps are a fucking useless article that went through a fad and I'm glad are dying along with bowties, extremely thin ties, and colorful socks.

There is no situation where you would wear them where a blucher or a oxford would not be more appropriate.

I love these, is there any more

desu i kinda hate monk shoes, but monk boots are quite sexy
