It is known that men 's shoes are essential to present a refined appearance. That fit and stylish footwear is a valuable tool for every man's life. A staple in your style arsenal. It doesn't matter if you're dressing for a job interview, a formal event, or even a date, sporting a shiny (and sophisticated) pair of shoes is key to success.
It is in the public domain that your clothing projects, without exception, an important part of how you present yourself. That we are not saying what stylistic decisions can be right or wrong; that's up to you. But even if they always see you in shorts, wearing Crocs, or with a shirt and tie, you must bear in mind that all this is a message of who you are and where you are going. In the same way, your shoes are very, very important. Our footwear always says a lot about the personality and attitude we have. Culturally, whether we like it or not, the people around us are used to looking closely at them to "figure out" who we are and to create an image of us.
So now you know, it's time to put your sandals and Birkenstock away, boy. You are a man and you must show it with the best footwear of all. Especially because you are looking for something that makes you look as elegant as possible and gives your look an extra degree of sophistication. You will see that with a good pair of men's shoes , very well cared for and really polished, your entire outfit will change for the better in a matter of seconds. You can bring the simplest suit in the world, but tall shoes will always transform your life.
Oxford
 |
| A basic that will always make you look 'on point'... |
The Oxford shoe is a classic dress model. You can identify it by its closed lacing system, which has seams at the bottom. It is common that these also have a low heel and a short back; creating a clean, polished appearance. This can even give you height if you get the right model; vital if you measure less than 1.70 . It goes amazing with a full suit or when you bring a casual look that needs to “elevate”.
The most common and popular are black styles; so polished that work easily for dress codes more high on a desk or a work commitment.
Brogue
 |
| A shoe that will serve you for all kinds of situations. |
Brogues —which you have surely seen in many stores advertised as Bostonians— are excellent in all kinds of situations, but in the formal sphere they are an absolute delight. The name comes from the broguing process , which consists of adorning shoes with thick perforations (large punctures) on their sides and other decorative applications.
This is a shoe with personality and style that will never disappoint you; You will surely find someone to give you one or more compliments. We always recommend a brown or honey color, which looks fabulous with gray, earthy and ocher suits. An excellent model for all kinds of occasions .
Derby
 |
| Absolute elegance and classic style. |
With a slightly less intricate design than the previous two, the Derby have an open lacing system, unlike the Oxford that have this part sewn and completely closed to the inside.
This is a comfortable style suitable for most formal occasions. It can be easily combined with a suit, but it is one of the worst when wearing jeans . Which is a good sign, because it means that we are talking about distinction.
The interesting thing about this model is that you can experiment with materials such as suede, which were previously considered only for informal situations, and combine it with a suit in suede or some interesting print.
Monkstrap
 |
| A style for men with character. |
An elegant and unique dress shoe that not everyone would dare to wear. With a strap across the top and a buckle - sometimes two - this elegant design can be worn with a variety of formal looks.
You will amaze during a business meeting, as well as at an evening or garden wedding - it all depends on the color you choose. Just be sure to choose a leather style with a little bit of shine, but not so much; This will help you maintain a refined and appropriately sharp appearance. Something like the middle ground.
Loafers
 |
| Loafers are perfect for wearing fun socks. |
The loafers loaded with many long stigmas. After a boom time and several appearances in the world of the elite, they fell from grace when their style became vulgar and, to some extent, banal.
However, this comfortable slip-on shoe has been revitalized in recent years, launching sophisticated models with strong proposals (such as the classic Gucci that surely has already drawn in your mind). In addition, its power goes in two directions: it is perfect for adding an elegant and relaxed touch to formal outfits, as well as for adding elegance to casual looks.
Do not underestimate the tassel loafers in leather for a unique and elegant look, or in velvet.
