Last week, I snapped photographs of somebody who wears minimalism in a way I typically wouldn't dress myself---militaristic, utilitarian, spare---but that I thought to be quite compelling. Minimalism for me would be baggy black from head to toe, slicked-back hair, a sparkly ring, and sleek shoes. Matthew's silhouette is archetypically masculine, but his expert use of accessories (backpack, socks, jewelry) keeps things interesting. Matt Kisly, 24, is a menswear design student at FIT, a huge fan of Marmite, and thinks the best date spot in New York is former US Army installation Fort Tilden.

The vintage Helmut Lang bracelet whispers a mischievous reference, and the silver signet ring by Werkstatt:München is classic menswear.

How do you do minimal?

i don't to an extent, well not so well anyway. if i do i wear dark grey and black with navy blue. though i did pick up some white socks i'm going to try with black shoes
i really like his look btw, the backpack is a top find
I am liking the minimalist look. So chic and effective!
This isn't far off what I'd consider to be the perfect Spring Summer minimalist approach.
That said, I'd probably be more literal with the military accents including boots etc.
Great post ;)
