Wondering how to always look good? Men's clothing is a complicated issue. Footwear in particular proves to be problematic. While the choice of shirt, trousers and jacket can be dealt with, it is much more difficult with shoes. Find out how smart footwear affects the style and what to consider when choosing it.
A few decades ago, classic men's elegance was based on a restrictive scheme. It was much easier to dress up. Today, however, fashion has evolved and originality and breaking the schemes has become the standard. Unfortunately, this don’t make it any easier to compose a neat outfit that is appropriate to the occasion and displays masculinity in appearance. Shoes have a huge impact on the outfit. They can effectively enhance or destroy literally any set of clothes. What should you do to avoid a slip-up?
Elegant footwear for men - what does it mean for styling?
It is said that when judging another person, you most often look at their shoes. There is certainly there's a lot of truth in that. Elegant and well-kept footwear is a sign of the character and status of the person wearing it. That is why it is so important.
Unfortunately, many men aren’t familiar with the basic rules of choosing elegant shoes. For this reason, slip-ups often occur, which clearly reveal a lack of dress sense. Whether we like it or not - everyone judges by their appearance, at least to some extent.
If you want to make a good first impression at all times and in all places - it is essential to know what shoes to wear to a wedding, party or business meeting.
Sophisticated men's shoes. The colour of the footwear and the formality of the outfit
Footwear is one of the most important elements of an outfit that ultimately expresses the degree of formality of the outfit.The ability to match it to the occasion is key at social events, business meetings and special occasions.
The most formal colour for men's footwear is black. The history of this trend goes back as far as the last century - but it still persists, albeit to a slightly lesser extent. For formal occasions such as weddings or when going to the theatre, colours such as maroon, navy blue or brown can be indulged in.
Nevertheless - for the most formal events, black shoes are an absolute must. What kind of events are these? A lavish banquet or ball, for example. Whenever you put on a formal suit or dinner jacket, it should be accompanied by black men's shoes.

In everyday life, there are rarely situations with a high degree of formality. For this reason, it is not necessary to wear black footwear. Depending on the composition of your outfit, you can opt for brown, navy blue or maroon. These are the colours that have been most popular in recent seasons.
Elegant brown shoes in a light or dark shade go well with British-inspired ensembles.
Maroon, on the other hand, will work well with the French trend.

What shoes for a guy to wear to a wedding?
What men's shoes to wear to a wedding is a rather problematic issue. After all, while the wedding ceremony is the most formal occasion possible, the wedding itself is not. This poses a big problem, as no guy is likely to be dressing up in between.
Black shoes will be the safest option as they blend well with the suit convention. However, there is the option of other colours - as long as they are in dark shades.

While the wedding guests have a lot of freedom when it comes to choosing their footwear - the groom does not. For him, this is a particularly important ceremony. For this reason, the only suitable option is an elegant black shoe - preferably made of grain leather. The type of shoe material also influences the formality of the outfit. There are three options: the aforementioned grain leather, patent leather or suede.
