subject: Mens Shoes: Fashion Hits And Misses [print this page] The world of mens fashion has always been a tricky one. So many people manage to fall at the final hurdle and end up looking more like a fashion disaster than an icon. When it comes to footwear there are plenty of red herrings out there that are designed to try and lure you in without you realising that they are more suited to fancy dress. If you are struggling to find the right footwear to last through all seasons, here are our top tips to tracking own some classic styles.
When it comes to smart shoes, it is always best to stick to a timeless design. There is a reason why shoes will always sell slip on loafers and lace up brogues; this is because they will always look great! Whether you are attending a formal event or you are simply looking for the right work footwear, these classic styles are the perfect choice. Brands such as Rombah Wallace are the perfect choice for those looking for shoes that will last a lifetime.
Casual footwear is bit more of a minefield with hundreds of brands seemingly offering the ultimate in street style. If you do not care for limited edition graphic prints and one of a kind artwork on your shoes, there are plenty of safe choices that will see you through a wide range of occasions. Plain hi-tops are a great choice for those looking to bridge the gap between smart and casual, pair with shorts for a cool dressed down look or with smart jeans and a blazer for a more high class occasion. If you prefer a more sporty style, there are plenty of retro trainers that have proved that they have staying power. If you do opt for sports trainers make sure you keep them for socialising and not cross them over with your gym wear, nobody likes the smell of stale shoes!
Mens footwear may seem confusing but if you stick to these classic styles you will soon discover that you need not worry about what is on your feet. Build a small collection of staple attire that will see you through any occasion and try and avoid the lure of gimmick footwear that will be out of fashion before you get a second wear out of them. Once your footwear is sorted, then it is time to work your way up, next stop jeans and when not to wear that pair of cycling shorts!
