How to choose a wedding suit for the groom?
Classic shoes are something without which it is impossible to imagine the wardrobe of a modern successful man. In order to choose the right shoe model, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the classic shoe guide.
Oxfords are shoes with closed lacing and a heel of no more than two centimeters. It can be made of smooth or patent leather, as well as suede. This is the strictest and most formal shoe option. Oxfords should be worn with classic suits and tuxedos.
However, in modern fashionable images, it is permissible to combine them with different styles of clothing, including everyday ones. Combinations with cropped unpaired trousers look very modern.
Classic Oxfords are available in black and brown. Therefore, if you are choosing the perfect pair for a formal business suit, you will not find a better option than oxfords.
Derby and blue shoes are models that are a less formal version of Oxfords. The main difference between these models is open lacing, as well as the presence of an ankle boot over the vamp. These features make these models the most suitable for high-rise owners. Most often, these boots have a thin leather sole and a small heel. The classic models are available in black, brown and navy blue.
These shoes cannot be worn with a business suit. But for casual or informal business style, derbies and bluchers are best.
Loafers are shoes with a small heel without lacing with a long tongue or bridge on the instep, and also a small heel. There are several varieties of this shoe model, in addition to the classics:
penny - model with a decorative plate with a rhombus;
slippers - a model with a tongue, on which, as a rule, a logo or sign is sewn. In place of the logo, there may be tassels, a fringe or a buckle.
Loafers go well with casual outfits.
Monks are a model of narrow shoes or low shoes with extended toes without lacing, instead of which there are one or two straps with buckles on the shoes. Monks are made of leather or suede.
This model goes well with both classic wardrobe and casual clothes.
Brogues are perforated shoes or boots. Both oxfords and derbies can be called brogues, the only difference will be in the presence of holes in the skin. Such a model will be the perfect solution for smart casual style, it will transform a relaxed look into a more solid one and, conversely, make a classic business suit a little less formal.
Boatmen - originally worn by yachting enthusiasts. Its rubber outsole did not slip on the deck. Hence the name of the model. "Topside" means "on deck" in English. Gradually topsiders entered everyday life. These shoes will be the perfect solution for summer men's weekend looks. It goes well with shorts, linen pants and polo shirts. Topsiders should be worn without socks.
Loafers are another shoe option for a relaxed, casual outfit. Comfortable shoes with soft soles made of leather or suede will provide you with comfort and convenience in informal looks. But to combine them with shirts and suit trousers is not the best idea.
