Men’s Formal Shoes
May 26, 2008 · Print This Article
So many guys chose either black or brown dress shoes and then wear that same pair every day. Guys, do your wardrobe a favor! Don’t get caught in a fashion faux pas and splurge on brown AND black formal shoes. Switch it up, depending on the pants and shirt you wear that day.
If you must choose one or the other, take a look at your wardrobe. If you wear a lot of black clothes, you should obviously choose a pair of black shoes. If you wear khakis frequently, you can choose black or brown shoes. As far as shirts are concerned, generally warm tones look best with brown and cool tones look best with black.
Even guys can get in on the cool trends in men’s formal shoes. While the clothing items for most men aren’t as varied as that of a woman’s, there are still some key items that should be included in your closet to keep you on top of things.
Unlike women with their endless pairs, you won’t need as many but it’s important what types you can choose. A good pair of dress shoes can help with any formal affair you attend. Look for formal shoes that fit properly, don’t have sharp edges that could pinch, don’t require breaking in; and yet are fashionable, not orthopedic-looking.
But the MOST important this to remember when shopping for dress shoes: AVOID rubber soles at all costs. Take it from TheDailyPump, nothing turns a woman off more. A comfy pair of rubber-soled shoes, no matter how shiny the leather uppers, destroys the effect of a business suit. You aren’t fooling anyone, they just look like dress sneakers.
When it comes to dress shoes, leather soles are for grown men - rubber soles are for boys.
