Choosing the right
pair of dress shoes for men is something that the average guy
can sometimes need help with. Everyone knows how important it is to dress for the occasion and make a good first
impression but the phrase 'putting your best foot forward' could well apply to what you are wearing on your feet.
If you have an important occasion approaching and need some help in choosing the perfect mens dress shoes then we
have put together a few helpful tips to make the decision a little easier.
Style.
Oxford. The most common men's dress shoes are called Oxford shoes. Oxfords are
typically any leather lace up shoe that doesn't come above the ankle. Many oxfords have an additional piece
of leather covering the toes, known as a toe cap. They can be plain or be embellished with fancy stitching
and are the standard dress shoe worn with mens suits.
Loafers. Loafers are slip-on shoes resembling a moccassin shoe that can be
either dressy or casual. They have no laces or buckles but usually have a tassel on top. A brown pair
of men's loafers will look great for a daytime outing when teamed with a lighter pair of pants.
Slip ons. Similar to loafers but more dressy and without the tassel. They
sometimes come with a leather strap on the upper portion of the shoe and a metal buckle attached. Slip-ons are very
easy to wear and are considered the most comfortable dress shoes for men.
Color.
Dress shoes for men come in a wide variety of colors but the most common (& safest
option) is black. A quality pair of black designer dress shoes will look good with pretty much everything and
is a must-have color that every man should have in his wardrobe. But if you like to be a bit more daring with
your attire then consider buying one or more pairs in alternate colors.
-Dark brown dress shoes look great with tan, brown or khaki trousers.
-Light brown or chestnut matches well with earth-toned tweed or woven
suits.
-Burgundy dress shoes are striking with black or brown trousers.
-Oxblood (reddish brown) complements earth tones.
-White dress shoes of course with a white suit or pants.
-Black and white two-tone dress shoes for the more daring, works well when paired with
a black & white pinstripe suit.
Price.
If price is not an issue then you can't go wrong with Italian designer dress shoes or Gucci dress
shoes for men. But when it comes to value for money there are so many designers competing with each other
that you no longer have to sacrifice quality if you are on a budget. Kenneth Cole, Steve Madden and Mezlan
all have a wide range of quality dress shoes at bargain prices. Check out these designs and more at
Amazon.com or Macys.

helpful. Dress shoes for men can be purchased online
from suppliers worldwide. Happy shopping.
