In months when both the temperature and the pace cools, style often comes down to how well proportions, colours, and details are controlled. Here’s a look at how Hong Kong male celebrities interpret minimalist dressing through their own distinct aesthetics, Aimee Yan reports
Chau Yan Ting
Chau Yan Ting’s style consistently revolves around black, yet never feels heavy. The dark base tightens the silhouette, while silver jewellery or sunglasses introduce highlights at just the right moments, preventing the look from appearing flat and adding layers of visual interest. At the core of this dark minimalism is negative space. Amid expanses of black, only essential gleams are left behind, giving the eye somewhere to pause.
Edan Lui
Edan Lui’s January look stands out for its disciplined use of colour. A tone-on-tone blue palette keeps the visual flow cohesive and uncluttered. The contrast between the shades of blue and a crisp white shirt adds depth, giving the outfit clarity and a distinct focal point.
Gareth T
Gareth’s minimalist approach carries a strong sense of everyday wearability. Jeans and workwear shoes lean toward function, but his choice of cut avoids heaviness, preserving a clean silhouette. His glasses become a key element, not mere decoration, but an integral part of his style. Natural colours and durable textures make the look quietly enduring, easy to wear for long hours, and memorable over time.
Jeffery Ngai
Jeffery’s style consistently leans toward clean lines and restraint. His look is built on sharp tailoring rather than complexity. Dressed head-to-toe in Tommy Hilfiger, he pairs a coffee-brown jacket with a beige top and matching trousers, keeping the colour palette safely neutral. The proportions are carefully balanced with fitted without being tight, maintaining a relaxed ease. The overall silhouette feels calm, orderly, and composed.
Tyson Yoshi
Tyson Yoshi’s take on minimalism is rooted more in street style. A grey tank top paired with black tailored trousers creates an inherent contrast, casual on top, formal below. Yet, on him, it settles into a natural balance. Rick Owens sneakers add structure and visual weight, sharpening the overall outline. A few rings and a watch serve as subtle accents, enhancing rather than disrupting the simplicity. Minimal, but undeniably bold.
