00:00 Minimalism vs. Maximalism Introduction

If you’re a menswear enthusiast, then you’ve probably come across the terms minimalism and maximalism. Of course, the terms themselves aren’t related specifically to clothing and could be linked to pretty much anything.

00:50 What Do These Terms Mean?

When it comes to menswear, minimalism is all about reducing things. This can be done quite literally by having a minimal amount of clothes. Minimalism can also be done by virtue of the individual styling of an item of clothing. Minimalism applies to how the outfit itself is put together.

While maximalism is all about big and bold! That can apply directly to the item of clothing itself. Maximalism also takes into account the volume in an outfit and texture.

02:39 Minimalism & Maximalism Pros

Perhaps the biggest benefit of minimalism is how easy it is to get dressed not just conceptually, but practically too. It is also great if you have little in the way of physical wardrobe space. Finally, minimalism can be very stylish and timeless when done well.

Maximalism gives you the ability to create stunning outfits that will captivate others. It also allows you to indulge in many different areas of craftsmanship and provides you with more overall choice.

05:00 Minimalism & Maximalism Cons

You need to invest to do minimalism well. By virtue of the fact that you’ll have fewer patterns and features going on in a minimalist outfit, it will be immediately obvious if your clothes are of poor quality. As well as investing money, you’ll also have to invest more time in clothes maintenance. Unfortunately, minimalism can also look dated if done badly. Finally, dressing in a minimalist style may make others think that you don’t care about your appearance, or even that you look “dull”.

For maximalism, getting dressed can take a while! It can also be expensive. Another unfortunate part of the maximalist style is that people may think you’re overdressed. And it’s easy to do maximalism wrong.

12:15 Maximalism (Hot Weather)

Whether you feel you’re more closely aligned to minimalism or maximalism as a style, our hope is that we’ve made the case for both of these modes of dress. Typically, the golden age of classic style that we love so much at the Gentleman’s Gazette is more rooted in maximalism but you can still achieve minimalist style within the realm of classic style.
