Till about the end of the last millennium, the most chosen style for men was formal shoes. They went well with the formal attire that men wore to office and parties. It completed their clean look. However, things changed towards the end of the new millennium. As is the case with women’s shoes, the change that came in men’s shoes was not all that dramatic. The difference in style was very subtle, barely noticeable for many.
Today, there is more to men’s shoes than formal shoes. Shoes have been brought out to suit almost all occasions. Further, technological innovations in the footwear industry have helped designers to design shoes for different environments as well. These too have become a part of the new look of the 21st century men. Here is a brief look into what else accompanies that look.
Formal Shoes for Dressy Occasions- Let’s begin with the most demanded type of shoes. These are a must have in every man’s wardrobe. Though the occasion to dress up in a formal suit does not come very often, it is best that one dresses up to the occasion when it does arrive. Men can chose between slip-on and lace up shoes. In both cases, ensure that the shoes are shining. According to some, bicycle-toed oxford shoes look excellent.
Shoes for Casual Attire-
There are occasions which demand something less than a completely formal look. On such occasions, a split-toe loafer can complete your casual (but not formal look). They are not completely formal and yet are something above your daily-wear shoes.
Versatile Shoes for Men- These shoes go perfectly well with khaki trousers, any type of jeans, or any other type of clothes. They can be either refined or rugged. The hallmark of these shoes is that they are made to withstand the wear and tear of everyday life.
When it comes to choosing versatile shoes, the prevailing weather too is to be taken into account. An example can be a stylish boot. It is perfect in the winter season. In summers, a fashionable sandal can be slipped on.
All-Purpose Sneakers- These shoes are meant for those who want to wear something comfortable everyday. They are light in weight and allow your feet to breather easily. They can be worn at any time of the day, any time in the year.
You can choose from a lot of options available in the market. However, avoid the high-end sports shoes. These are meant for athletes and built with a purpose. They might also burn a big hole in your pocket.
It doesn’t matter what type of shoes you have in your wardrobe. It is important to take care of them so that they look good on you all the time. Proper care will also help them last longer. Don’t hesitate from spending on shoe care products and repair.
