Anyone else find it engaging how minimalist men’s fashion has evolved? Its wild to think about the connection between the Bauhaus movement’s emphasis on form and function and its influence on clothing design. That stark, utilitarian aesthetic laid a foundation for a lot of what we see today.Think about it: the focus on clean lines, neutral colors, and simple shapes. You can see echoes of that in the workwear that was popular decades ago, and then how it morphed into something sleeker and more refined. Even now,streetwear has its minimalist iterations,favoring oversized silhouettes in muted tones or classic,well-made basics that can be mixed and matched endlessly. A simple gray crewneck sweater or a well-fitting pair of dark denim jeans could be seen as a direct descendant of those early design principles.
What are some specific pieces or eras you think best exemplify this evolution? I’m curious to hear other people’s thoughts on how minimalism continues to be reinterpreted in men’s style. Are we truly minimalist, or just aspiring to be?
