Monk vs double monk Anonymous Tue Sep 26 15:12:05 2017 No.12786544 [Reply] [Original]

I want a lucid black pair to match with a suit for everyday use. Which one is your pick, /fa/: monks or double monks?

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 26 15:20:55 2017 No.12786564 >>12786544 both look good, but id go for single strap for everyday use

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 26 15:26:24 2017 No.12786582 double monks seem more practical from a protective standpoint

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 26 15:57:03 2017 No.12786691 Single straps are generally nicer with suits imo (more plain, strap often hidden by pants) whereas double are easier to pull off in a more casual context. Both are nice casual or formal though

triple the retard. or quintuple.
>>12786918
I don't think is douchness, but a kind of smugness. Unless is a very sturdy one, like pic related.

>>12786904
Not really, they're a bastard item. They're more formal than a derby/blucher but less so than an oxford.

Likewise, the double buckle is more complex than the single and thus tends to be even less formal, but still more formal than the derby/blucher.

So, what you have is a shoe that really isn't business formal, but also a bitch to dress down without looking pretentious. I have no idea why people wear them.

look, niggers/americans!
yes,if you live in a shitty place avoid this kind of shoes.(or if you are a young guy)

But anyone asking this kind of questions works on a suit everyday and shoes are one of the little personality spot you get.

Nigger, I wear a suit for a living. Monk Straps are a fucking useless article that went through a fad and I'm glad are dying along with bowties, extremely thin ties, and colorful socks.

There is no situation where you would wear them where a blucher or a oxford would not be more appropriate.
