Every year a set of new fashion products make their way into the trendsetting zone. This year, with the start of this year, it is no different. Shoes are an important factor when trying to look trendy. Unlike the women’s section, men have very little to offer when it comes to fashion. This is especially true for the men’s footwear section. Even though there is a reasonably good amount of categories, they may all look the same to you. If you feel like you are in such a situation, read further to get educated.
Here are some of the footwear from the men’s section that we think will become a trendsetter when matched with the right outfit:
1. Moccasins Penny Loafers
As the name suggests, Penny Loafers are named so because such shoes had a small opening that made sure a penny fit in them. Having popularized in the early 19th CE, they have come a long way.
Compared to the normal penny loafers, moccasins are slightly different. These penny loafers are hand stitched and have a sole that is made of soft and flexible leather. Hence, the loafers are also flexible to some extent.
These are perfect for semi-formal wear and are great for casual wear too. A brown moccasins penny loafer would be perfect for blue jeans, and cotton pants of black and dark blue color. Even if you plan on wearing simple grey pants and a white shirt, be sure to check out the moccasins penny loafers for men. Apart from the brown, stores offer plenty of other color options that suit different dress types and colors.
2. Classic Oxfords Wingtip Dress Shoes
Having first originated in Scotland and Ireland, they took the world by storm. These classic oxford wingtip shoes have the front portion shaped in the form of a narrowed wing. They are also called elegant dress shoes. These shoes mean business. They make you look smart, elegant, and stylish instantly all the same time.
They go perfectly splendid with formals like suits, tuxedoes, and separates. Be it a formal date or a business event, Oxford Shoes will never disappoint. Having said that, these shoes can also be worn with semi-formal outfits like colorful blazers and jeans.
3. Suede Leather Chelsea Ankle Boots
Ankle boots are not only for women. Even men have their own specialized version. Though there may not be main options compared to the women’s section, it still satisfies male customers. Suede Leather Chelsea Ankle Boots is one such example. Unlike the normal and sometimes boring looking ankle boots, the suede leather Chelsea ankles stand out in many ways.
The first and obvious are the design and material. These two are enough to get hundreds of customers to buy a Chelsea Ankle Boot. They look young, stylish and make you stand out(in a good way) in a crowd.
If you ever plan to buy one, be assured that it will blend perfectly with any outfit other than formal wear. But hey, if you wish to wear it with formals, go ahead. Your taste may vary.
4. Sneakers and Casual Shoes
Everyone knows and loves sneakers. They are the perfect choice for casual wear. They can be perfectly paired with one of the most loved top wear for all genders, aka the hoodies. Sneakers are the only footwear that goes hand in hand with hoodies of any color and fabric. Just wear a hoodie, jeans, and your favorite sneakers, and you are good to go for the rest of the day.
But that’s not it. Casual shoes can be worn with semi-formal outfits like jeans and blazers, which are perfect for wedding functions.
5. Lace Up Chukka Boots
The chukka boots are a unique section in men’s footwear. They kind of look like a mixture of ankle boots and chelsea shoes. Because of their uniqueness, they look stylish yet comfortable. A brown lace-up chukka would be a splendid choice if you plan on wearing jeans frequently.
If you ever feel like elevating your casual look, make sure to just swap your sneakers with the chukkas. They instantly give you a business casual look, making sure it’s neither too casual like the sneakers nor too formal like the executive shoes. Because it is business casual, they can also be paired with formal outfits.
6. Motorcycle Lace Up Combat boots
Now now, don’t be alarmed by the word COMBAT in the name. Even though they are considered combat boots, they don’t serve the same purpose. Famous in the women’s section, they have finally made their way to the men’s collection.
A motorcycle lace-up combat boot can be matched with cotton or jean style bottom wear. Black is the most preferred choice as the can blend with almost any color. The lace-up feature in such boots makes sure they fit firmly and tightly, all the while being comfy and breathable.
Those men who are fond of kilts can also benefit a lot from these combat shoes.
7. Formal Slip On Loafers
The young generation has been fond of slip-on loafers. Just like the penny loafers mentioned above, these formal slip-on loafers look almost similar. The only difference is that these loafers are made primarily for formal wear, and hence they have a shiny finish compared to the leather finish on the above-mentioned loafers.
As the name suggests, they are the go-to choice for someone who loves formals and loafers. Even though most loafers are not for formal wear, these formal loafers make sure you are business ready giving you the class and style you need to attend that formal event.
Yes, if you did not know, the men’s footwear collection is not that boring. The above-mentioned are just a few of the many shoe variants made for men that we think would become a deal-breaker this year. Having said that, while getting the one you like, make sure to check out all the available color options as one person’s choice may not be a viable option for another. Similarly, you can always pair the shoes however you want to, depending on your personal liking.
Keep being AllDayChic!
