Tips On Picking The Right Dress Shoe

The dress shoe is one of the most complicated items in the world of formal wear. The reason for this is because it cannot be matched up directly with the suit or tuxedo. For instance, just because you have a blue suit with a red tie does not mean you can wear blue and red shoes.

I wrote this article to help men choose the correct pair of shoes to wear with their formal wear. After reading this article you will know which colors and styles should be worn with formal wear.

Colors dictate how formal a pair of footwear can be. The darker the color the more formal the shoe will be. For instance a black shoe is more formal than a brown shoe.

Shiny shoes are a tell tale sign of a dress shoe. The rule when looking at the sheen of a dress shoe is the shinier the shoe, the more formal the shoe.

The pattern on a shoe can give a clear indication as to how formal the shoe is. Shoes with little to no design work are considered to be more formal than shoes with more designs on them.

The most formal shoe of them all would be a highly shined black shoe without any design work. This shoe would be something you would want to wear to a black tie event.

The least formal shoe would be a shoe with intricate design patterns, no shine, and in a light color such as brown or even white. This type of shoe is a great shoe to wear to church or a party.

Remember this article when purchasing your next dress shoe. This article should be of great benefit to you when deciding between your favorites.
