Shoe shopping is not exactly the most exciting activity a man can think of. However, having fashionable footwear is an important step in not only feeling about what you’re wearing, but to show others that you know how to dress for success. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a short list of the most fashionable and versatile styles of men’s footwear.
Leather Boots - No, we’re not talking cowboy boots, but a pair of casual urban boots that can easily go with almost any informal look you have in your closet. A pair of these slim leather boots will look fantastic with jeans and many other casual pants, and the neutral tones of brown and black make them easily wearable with a wide variety of looks. Don’t confuse the fashion leather boots with the more structured work boot, such as the Timberland line. While these shoes are fantastic for working environments and inclement weather, they should definitely stay in your closet when you’re trying to dress smart.
Oxford Dress Shoes - While every man should have at least a few different styles of leather dress shoes in their closet, the oxford-style is a staple. Their classic, sleek appearance is versatile for any occasion, making them the perfect dress pair for either work or a nice dinner out. The lace-up design creates a sense of class and sophistication without overdoing it, and most oxfords come with a non-slip sole which adds to their functionality.
Loafers - If you’re looking for a casual weekend or vacation shoe that is still fashionable enough to be worn with your chino pants, then look no further than the leather slip-on loafer. While not suitable for a formal dinner out or in a structured work environment, the loafers are ideal for informal business dinners or just an evening out with friends. The leather construction of these shoes make them suitable to wear with both a pair of cotton chinos or light-colored jeans.
Leather Sandals - A classic look for the man of leisure are leather sandals, which can compliment most any shorts or a neutral-colored pair of linen pants. While this wouldn’t be a smart look for the office (unless of course you work at a beachside bar), its the perfect casual style for a weekend away to the coast. If you’re looking for ultimate comfort for the casual environment, then look no further than leather sandals.
We often find ourselves thrown into situations without much time to put together a wardrobe for. By having all of these functional, yet sophisticated styles in your closet, you can be prepared for any occasion that may present itself.
