Minimalism

[Anonymous No.14944205]

What are the best quality items to dress simply and efficiently?

[Anonymous No.14944222]

As the picture suggests:

- simple light wash Levis 501
- white t-shirt

I'd like to add:

- white sneakers, for instance chucks, mexico 66, nike grandstand 2
- western shirt

as for western-shirts, Levis 100% cotton from the cone mill are nice

>>14944205
loud branding like that goes against the whole idea of minimalism

[Anonymous No.14944244]

>>14944205
are you looking for brands or just individual items that are minimalist?

>loud branding
>a tiny red tag on your ass and a barely readable jacron that comes on every pair of jeans
>loud
Fuck off. If it bothers you that much you can just remove it, you know that right?

Just items - like a capsule wardrobe but /fa/ filtered

[Anonymous No.14944365]

>>14944314
this isnt branding to you?

[Anonymous No.14944408]

>>14944365
Yes, just shop exclusively at uniqlo then you fucking autist. No generic pocket stitches, no jacrons, just jeans.

holy fuck you americans are insufferable

[Anonymous No.14944421]

>>14944420
just make your own clothes you fucking retard

[Anonymous No.14944435]

It’s “branding” but it’s not like Gucci. The pocket stitching is subtle and pretty much unrecognizable as anything but an arbitrary design. The leather patch does have the name of the company but it also serves a functional purpose by saying the cut and size of the jeans. The red tag is pretty much unnoticeable
Also, to me, things as ubiquitous as a pair of Levi’s jeans kind of transcend the concept of branding

[Anonymous No.14944448]

>>14944229
Amen

[Anonymous No.14944450]

>>14944421
or just buy something with a nice silouette and no visible branding
>>14944435
yes they aren't as loud as gucci and the leather patch does have a purpuse. i'm not against levi's at all but the subject of this thread is minimalism. an idea taken from the art movement. what i tried to simply point out is that levi's cannot be categorized as "minimalist" no matter how ubiquitous they might be today

You are trying to tell others that your understanding of minimalism is universal, brandings can be loud, they also can be universal and ubiquitious cultural elements...so there is no exclusion of all brands from the concept of sartorial minimalism necessary.

Uniqlo for basics
Enough said

OP is asking for quality, my guy

[Anonymous No.14944502]

>>14944471
this acceptance for subtle branding especially in something like as radically opposite to it like minimalism is so grotesque and tasteless
also calling it an "cultural element." holy fuck dude. if you can't live without your brand logos then just become what you are

It depends on the setting/scene, doesn't it? A minimalist take on corporate fashion isn't quite the same as some guy in living in the middle of nowhere.

You need footwear, pants and some kind of shirt at a minimum. What you can get away with depends on where you live and what you do for a living.

says the american who cannot even comprehend the idea of minimalism

[None !IGORsW/P/E No.14944728]

I don't like the Levis 501. They are too baggy. Let alone the fact that you have to actually go to the store and try them on since Levis is such garbage inconsistent jeans sizing from even color to color within the same model#.
I like having an elegant silhouette.

[Anonymous No.14944785]

>thinking 501s are baggy
im a very skinny dude and id consider 501s to be pretty slim

[Anonymous No.14944906]

>>14944728
Are the 505 better?

[Anonymous No.14944956]

>>14944705
Well a good office wardrobe would include chelseas...

[Anonymous No.14944983]

Do you want to dress minimal or dress with basic clothes?

[Anonymous No.14945007]

>>14944906
505 is essentially same fit but with a zipper

[Anonymous No.14945065]

>>14944983
One and the same really

[Anonymous No.14945115]

>>14944728
I like 502s for that, they really clean up the silhouette. Not that a looser fit is necessarily bad, as long as it’s intentional and well executed.

If you’re going for scandi minimalism you should make knits and colorblocking the main focus of your outfits. I dress in a similar kinda style and I find that sweaters with subtle patterns / knits are a good way to get started, as sweater + jeans = foolproof simple outfit. Overshirts and solid color flannels are good for this too. Muji and uniqlo are good places to get minimal unbranded basics.
