Time for some honesty, boys. Your favorite trainers are not right for every occasion. It’s time to step it up and shod your feet in some stylish, grown up kicks. A gorgeous pair of dress shoes complete an evening look, add a dash of class to an otherwise low-key day time ensemble, and show you mean business at the office. Dressy doesn’t have to mean stuffy, and this season’s footwear trends show just that.
Dress Boots
For the rebellious side of every guy, a boot is just the ticket to blending classic and edgy. A sleek style with a pointed toe adds a mod touch to a standard suit , this take on the wingtip hints at a naughty school boy cheek, and rocker details hidden just beyond the cuff of your pant, gives a bad boy element to this otherwise clean shoe.
Suede
Nothing says “fall” like a luxe suede shoe. Whether lace-up or loafer, this rich texture is sophisticated but tones down the dressy vibe, giving the shoe a bit more versatility. This classic brogue for example is the ultimate day-to-night chic seasonal staple.
Cap Toe
A dress shoe through and through, the cap toe has ridden the mid-century Mad Men craze back to fashion relevancy. These are your serious office and evening shoes. Pair these babies with your very bests suits for a pulled together look thats all about the subtle detail. Classic Oxfords get an extra air of elegance with the addition of that extra touch.
So, here’s your mission: Invest in a pair of brown and black, indulge in one strictly evening and one great day to night pair, and shop the trends that best fit your overall style.
