Men's Fashion: Footwear

It’s very important that you get your footwear right when it comes to dressing up – They aren't as subtle as accessories – They can really make or break an outfit. Every man needs at least 3 pairs of shoes:
1.       1 pair of gym/sport trainers (For sportswear with trackies or shorts)
2.       1 pair of Black leather office shoes (For corporate or formal occasions)
3.       1 pair of casual high-tops/loafers or everyday shoes (For wearing with chinos or jeans)

Shoes are an investment: You’re not a child anymore, and so your feet aren’t going to grow too much. I personally recommend forking out on a nice pair of shoes that will actually last you. Granted, you can pay anywhere between $50 AUD - $300 AUD for a nice pair of shoes, but think of it like this: You’ll wear them EVERY SINGLE DAY!

For those of us that have perhaps, “upped the anti” however, there is a whole new level that awaits you! Throw in canvas shoes, plimsolls, you can choose to add colours, different styles (Lace up, or zip up), and off course, not to mention: With or without socks!

Have a look at the chart below that was constructed by the team over at Urban Sardar. It illustrates what shoes go with each type of outfit and identifies the different combinations that may be possible.




Be wary though, there’s no need to stick to these rules hard and fast! Go out there and have your own take on things. Because remember:


Fashion is anything you want it to be, as long as you do it with confidence.

That's all for this week Fashionates ;)! We'll see you next week when we'll be discussing the one good thing about Men's fashion: Elegance through Accessories.
