I've decided to make an attempt at becoming Veeky Forums, by starting with the minimalism look, adding maybe a little more color all around. While I do have dark red hair I do not think the dark colors give me a extra pale look, but instead make my hair stand out which I think is good. Primarily wearing the black jeans / grey trousers. For shirts while it is winter I will stick with knits alone or over shirts, as I already have some decent knits.
solovairs are better leather, shape is slightly different, whatever you prefer on that note (monos are a bit sleeker)
Parker Barnes
Visually quite similar, but the 1461 has potentially slight lower quality of construction, and a clunkier toe.
However the solovair is almost twice as expensive and the leather does not seem to be significantly better.
Docs are still good shoes, welted construction, etc.
Kevin Flores
how can you have questions about dressing minimalist? god damn brainlet
Cameron Cox
I've never worn 1461s but I did think my pair of Solovair gibsons were a bit chunky... I had to sell them because I got the size wrong and they don't take returns.
I'll have to give 1461s a try as I also like this look.
Adrian Scott
Sorry if you’ve been offended. I use the term ‘minimalism’ as a placeholder description of my starting point, referencing the info graph above. I had hoped that my questions were specific enough to move past the topic of the ‘minimalism’ label.
Carter Fisher
OP look at brands like APC as inspiration, they have lookbooks on their sites.
That Uniqlo coat is fine, it's probably the best you can do at that price point.
Julian Cox
you're literally following a shopping list and still don't know what to do
go read some articles and look up minimalism in other mediums of design i.e architecture or you're never going to look good
Evan Green
get postman 101 instead, super nice shoe
James White
Thanks, I assume long coats like that are comfortable enough with backpacks?
Again, I only want to use the “shopping list as a place to start. If it wasn’t clear, my questions are more to do with specific items of clothing, pant/coat recommendations.
Brandon Robinson
I don't think they look anywhere near as good as the 1461 mono imho
Ryan Morales
hey op, the chart you posted is very good. for trousers or clothes in general i recommend cos, or acne studios if you can/want to afford it.
personally i wouldn't wear anything other than black or grey pants but that's my preference.
for coats, uniqlo is fine and again i'd recommend cos, they have very nice coats. you can also find nice goats by acne/apc/our legacy on grailed etc. coat length isn't awkward at all with a backpack, provided the colours fit together.
Jaxson Rivera
Get Dr Martens Archie's. Beautiful, minimal and made in England.
Robert Foster
bumping for interest. any inspo pics available?
Liam Baker
Thanks, especially for the cos recommendation. I will be definitely trying out some of their trousers as well as coats.
Another concern I had was wearing to similar stuff all the time. But I suppose if it looks good one day, it will look good all days. And currently I wear the same stuff often, it is just shit.
Cheers.

oh hey an infograph from 2012
minimalism isn't fashionable anymore btw

Holy fuck this image is cringe. Fuck off back to your containment board /pol/fag.

fuck off faggot New Balance are the most chad shoe you can wear
Jordan Watson
They aren’t chad. They’re just ugly. Whenever I see someone in new balance I already know they’re slovenly.
Lincoln Hernandez

Ryder Anderson
What watch is that?

WEEEEEEWWW
Austin Martinez
boy that picture really hit a nerve on you faggots
Hunter Bailey
It's the same logic as a horoscope. Throw out as much vague but somewhat stereotypical factoids about someone on this board and make them feel guilty because they recognise having done 1/5th of it before.

how pathetic
Jeremiah Ortiz
Kinda regretted getting the 1461 orleans (shaped a little sharper than standard 1461) instead of the 1461 mono. Bought them recently too :(
Alexander Robinson
you'll change your mind, monos are nicer
Chase Ortiz
reading comprehension
John Moore
Thanks

Normie-minimalism is extremely shitty as a style. If you wear plain basics in the first place, reducing your color combinations make already boring fits into something truely unremarkable. Want to wear all black? Go full CdG or Yohji. Monochrome fits only work, if you actually wear quality and interesting pieces in it.
Xavier Hernandez
It's all about the drape. With the monochrome black you need to focus on silhouette.
