The next time you are planning your outfit for a night on the town or a first date try and remember that one of the first things that a lady will notice is your footwear. If your t-shirt is ironed and face freshly shaved you may think that you have made enough of an effort to impress but it is easy to ruin all of that hard work with a pair of battered trainers or worse, sandals. Take the time to plan your outfit from top to bottom and you will soon find that your ensemble gets its fair share of admiring glances! Here are our top tips if you are looking to make the right impact with your footwear
You really cannot beat a classic therefore it is essential that you have at least one pair of smart black loafers or brogues in your closet. Take style tips from James Bond and ensure that you shoes are always freshly polished for an effortlessly stylish look that will instantly transform an otherwise casual outfit. Reputable brands such as Rombah Wallace are the ideal choice for those looking for long lasting leather style.
Trainers can be acceptable as long as you follow the golden rules. First of all, if you wear them for the gym they are not to be worn out for socialising. A battered pair of sports trainers covered in mud and grass will have the same instant rejection appeal therefore make sure you keep your sportswear in your gym bag. Smart lace up high tops and converse shoes are the ideal choice for smart casual outfits, along with clean classic styles.
If you are jetting off abroad this year make sure you pack a smart, simply pair of flip flops that will see you through walks along the beach and days lounging around the pool. One of the biggest fashion failures is wearing socks with sandals so make sure you remember to go barefoot. A smart pair of espadrilles is the perfect choice for an evening meal in the hotel and come in a wide range of colours so you can mix and match with your outfits. If in doubt avoid anything that could potentially be described as novelty, there is nothing worse than seeing a group of men wincing down the street as they realise that there banana shaped beach footwear is designed for the home, not for long walks along the strip.
Stick to these top tips and you will soon be making the right impression with your footwear.
