Basic Shoes For Men

For the next time you head towards the shoe-store and you don’t want to appear clueless about what type of shoe to pick up, stick around and read through our selection of basic shoes for men so you know exactly what to pick for that empty space in your shoe cupboard!!

The most classic and timeless type of men’s shoes that double up for business and party wear include Oxfords. They come in open and closed-laced varieties in all dark, traditional colours, though menswear designers who give tips on maintaining a standard appeal mostly recommend the Oxfords in black, brown and deep maroon colours.

The closed-laced variety goes rather well with double-breasted business suits and the narrow, pinstriped ones back in vogue these days (for those with a stouter physique, these make you look leaner).

If you’ve picked a deep or beige-brown genuine leather pair, you can team these with your chinos for a simple yet suave look mid-week or with wrinkle-free khakis on Friday’s office-pot luck; they’re good with Sunday tweed coat for a casual brunch with friends or even with a trendy sport jacket when out for the movies.

Another smart and basic shoe choice would be oxblood, open-laced oxfords. These can be teamed with nearly every outfit in your wardrobe, right from your fly-button Levi jeans to your linen suits and country coats, so do get yourself a pair!

Another pair no stylish man can hope to do without today when it comes to shopping for a basic shoe wardrobe is a cool pair of branded loafers. Also known as slip-ons, loafer are cut low on the ankle, broader than the typical moccasin and provide a looser grip around the foot thanks to a wide, flat heel area typically.

Not really office wear unless the boss is away or you work for an ad company (read, relaxed dressing rules), loafers are of many types e.g. penny loafer, suede or leather moccasins, monk strap (with the clunky or narrow buckle), tassel-type etc and affordable for any man to pick up a couple of pairs easily!
