I am going for a blue collar worker type look. As far as shoes go, I have primarily been wearing 1k mile boots. What low cut shoes would go with this look?

alright, first off...you're not achieving a blue collar worker look. you're achieving an appropriated "heritage" look.

i doubt you're into actual blue collar looks, but carhartt would be a good place to go first

The only thing I own in the OP image is the coat. Which looks very much like something a blue collar worker would wear. Carhartt doesn't look like a good option for shoes.

I think the main appeal of workwear comes from working in it. I see so many people in fresh carhartt jackets and red wing boots, and they just look like a bunch of nutlovin fuccbois.

I have worn the 1k boots for years. They look well aged. I just got the jacket and it will just get better looking with age. What is the problem? You think it's disingenuous of me to wear working clothes when I don't do physical labor as a job? People here dress like ninjas and prep school boys.

You do realize that people actually going for a "blue collar worker" look are easily identifiable as not blue collar workers, right? They look like slumming fashion whores. "Dude, check out my custom limited edition authentic house painter jacket! It was only $500!"

Actual laborers look like people who don't buy stuff for any particular look. Walmart stonewashed jeans, Timberland boots or cheap jogging shoes, baseball team t-shirt, Carhart jacket, no-name belt, and a backpack they've had since high school.

I'm not sure why everyone takes "workwear" so seriously. The point isn't to actually look like a day laborer or to do work in it, it's just fashion. It's like saying

> "you want to wear a suit? What, you think you're some hot shot investment banker or something? REAL investment bankers probably just go to work in their shirtsleeves anyways! If you go out in that suit everyone is gonna call you a fuccboi poser!"

I mean it's just boots, jeans, button ups and practical jackets. Most plebs don't even know what "heritage clothing" is.

this
people act like it's so wrong to find clothing inspiration in uncommon places, like you have to be inspired by the avant garde runway goff shit, sk8 culture, etc. i don't wanna look like a lumberjack but I like the rugged workwear stuff. it's just a different look than streetwear, and properly done it's not /mfa/-tier
OP, look into Red Wing postman and Alden, Allen Edmonds, Church's, etc. oxfords and brogues. Maybe the Grenson Archie or something like that

If your are serious about a blue collar look, pick cheap and robust stuff. Fit and looks? Fuck that, its not as if your buddies at the construction site care about how you look.

It is definitely /mfa/ tier. "Workwear" is a bullshit look that has very little artistic merit or room for creativity. It all looks like the same shit and I think you are a poser if you are wearing it.

op you done fucked up by calling it "blue collar worker type look"

This will make people think you are literally trying to look like such a person when you aren't one, which would obviously make you a poser faggot.

call it "workwear" which is what fashion inspired by this look is called.

collection of fags, butthurt "real blue-collar workers," and wannabe ninjas. Workwear is a great style for anyone who wants to dress well but avoid the effete faggot look.

Anybody who doesn't understand that it is not literally trying to copy what a modern construction worker would wear is brain-damage-levels of retarded and not worth listening to.

and to answer your question, try Chippewa, Thorogood, RW, Clarks, Docs, etc
