Did you know that we care...even judge...the shoes that YOU men wear?
Here's five tips to help you improve your shoe game...
*Thanks to The Huffington Post for some of these notes.
1. Cover those toes. Even if you've taken the plunge into pedicure land (and kudos to you if you have), toes are usually not the most attractive part of a man's body. Skip sandals when you could be wearing boat shoes, sneakers, loafers... basically, anything other than sandals.
2. Never wear shiny black leather dress shoes with jeans. We know the nightclub dress code said no sneakers. But that doesn't mean you need to take the shoes your mother got you for your first suit and put them on with your favorite dark jeans. There are shoes that aren't fancy dress shoes or sneakers.
3. Suede desert boots look good on EVERYONE. When you're looking for something nicer than trainers but less formal than black leather brogues, desert boots are your best friends. If they're good enough for Prince Harry...
4. If your socks are white, we don't want to see them. A hint of a fun printed or colorful dress sock? That's in style. But if your socks of are of the tubular variety and/or are gleaming white, they better stay tucked away.
5. Match your shoes to your belt. This rule is an oldie but goodie. Wearing black shoes? Then throw on a black leather belt. Even better is the camel shoes + camel belt combo. So GQ; so woman-approved.
This is the truth. I want to add to #4...no socks and sandals!
ReplyDeleteGreat read! I never realized how much impact shoes can have on first impressions until I went through this article. It’s true that women often notice the small details, and wearing premium shoes really shows confidence, personality, and effort. Your breakdown of styles and what they communicate was spot on. This definitely motivates me to upgrade my footwear game. Looking forward to more insightful posts like this!
