Men’s Footwear : A Look At Some Classic Styles

Men’s footwear certainly has some questionable choices in fashion. While some shoes serve functional purposes, they’re not exactly the most stylish options available to you. If you’re looking for a pair of kicks that look good and are comfortable, consider the following footwear options.

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 – If you’re looking for one pair of dress shoes to have in your closet, the oxford-style leather dress shoe is your prime choice. The complimentary style of this shoe can either be worn formally or casually without worrying if you’re under or over dressed for the occasion. Its an essential staple to any mans wardrobe where fashion and sleek comfort is concerned.

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 – If you want to achieve the ultimate casual look yet still retain a keen fashion sense, then your prime choice of shoes would be the leather sandal. Perfectly paired with shorts, this choice provides you with unparalleled comfort while the leather construction shows that you have taste no matter what you’re wearing.

A mans shoe can tell an entire story about its wearer whether its the oxford dress shoe or the casual leather sandal. Your sense of sophistication and ability to pair the right footwear for any occasion tells a lot about both your sense of style and how much you value your appearance. Be prepared for any situation by having one pair of each style of shoe mentioned here in your closet when the time comes, you’ll be thankful.
