A great shoe can magically elevate a blah casual look. It is also the right accent to the most curated outfit.
When it comes to footwear, men’s attitudes are starting to resemble those stereotypically associated with women. Yes, they are starting to covet. This maybe is because of the explosion of divers men’s shoes right now. It runs the gamut from classic dress shoes to designer sneakers that are extremely fashion forward.
So which pairs does a guy now need to own? Here is a guide of what shoes that are must haves.
Wingtip Brogues
Brogues are a style of low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterized by multiple-pieces, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations. The perforations were created for functionality, and their purpose was to allow water to drain through the footwear when walking in wet terrain.
Due to their timeless appeal, it has even become acceptable to wear brogues as part of business attire. More heavily brogued shoes tend to go better with jeans, while the less brogued styles tend to pair better with suits – it’s best to avoid the two-toned look for the office.
Cap-toed lace-ups
The cap-toe is the dressiest and most popular of all the business shoe styles. It looks best when worn with the more serious suit fabrics and styles. If you get one in brown, wear with navy suit, or an earth-toned suit of olive, brown or tan. Black is fine with all of the serious dark colors of gray and navy but not at all with any of the earth tones.
Slip-on loafers
Loafers continuously cycle in and out of trendiness, but always remain a menswear staple. Over the years, loafers have become increasingly diverse and inventive, with designers pushing the boundaries of casual footwear and marrying high-fashion fearlessness with classic, comfortable style.
The loafer can replace just about any other shoe in an off-duty outfit, while adding an extra dash of dapper to the look. Casual loafers can be worn with denim and khakis, and sockless with shorts during warm seasons. Go for jeans and a t-shirt if you want to keep things relaxed, and a shirt and chinos if you want something with a little more class.

New Business Men’s real leather dress shoes. Double Monk Strap Buckle is ideal from anything from a formal wedding to a business meeting. You just have to match it up with the right outfit.
