5 men's shoes to buy for a perfect wardrobe
Not just sneakers and derbies, men's shoes will allow you to play with your look. Just add these 5 models to your wardrobe
Are you sure you have all the men's shoes you need to tackle any occasion? Many are convinced, yet when the seasons change, it turns out there's no suitable pair to match a tailored suit for the upcoming ceremony, while summer shorts require lightweight footwear, not necessarily made of leather. Every wardrobe starts from the 'feet,' or what pairs well with trousers or, for those following more fluid trends, even with men's skirts. Regardless of your style, however, you should have these 5 pairs of men's shoes because they cater to diverse needs and occasions, including seasonal ones. Discover the models and when to wear them to create impeccable styling.
Cloud sandals
Let's start with an unsuspected model, very cool and literally replacing the classic flip-flops (deemed too basic for some). We're talking about 'cushion' sandals, slippers with a thick and particularly soft sole, a feature that not only cushions the weight of the body but also gives you the sensation of walking on clouds. Extremely lightweight and made of soft material, they are summer favorites for various daytime looks, even at the beach.
Summer shoes
Canvas espadrilles or chunky sandals with an ergonomic sole? Both options are perfect, but not having at least one pair is a mistake. These shoes are symbols of the warm season because they are lightweight and suitable for wearing with swimwear, a pair of shorts, or lightweight linen trousers with a drawstring waist. In the city? Many dare even in metropolises, bringing that typical sense of holiday glamour to the squares as July approaches.
Black loafers
Few know that these shoes were born to complete casual looks: beloved in the United States, they were worn by business men on so-called 'Free Fridays,' paired with jeans. Gucci makes them a symbol of international Italian style, with the iconic horsebit, and they immediately become perfect shoes for those who want to achieve an elegant yet relaxed look. Today they are worn with suits but also with wide-leg jeans and cotton shorts. Suede loafers are more suitable for summer: designed with a white sole, they can even be worn on a boat.
White or black sneakers
Never without a pair of sneakers. Today colors are trendy, but first you need to invest in a versatile pair of sneakers, either white or black, so you can pair them with almost anything. Opt for a classic model, with not too thick a sole and from a sportswear brand, so you can enjoy all the technical qualities it offers. In this case, it's pointless to suggest what to pair white or black sneakers with: they're popular because you can pair them effortlessly.
Derby shoes
A pair of men's lace-up shoes should never be missing in your wardrobe, even if you prefer to dress casually. There's always a good occasion to wear them, especially in the transitional seasons when invitations for ceremonies accumulate. Avoid a glossy finish and opt for brushed leather, less demanding and easier to maintain. Black or brown, you can never go wrong, always paired strictly with a belt.
