Top 5 Shoes to Buy and In What Order
Posted by Suyash Doneria on
The exact right five pairs of shoes. I want to get you thinking about that.
When you start to think about this and you pay a little bit more attention, you're going to make sure you make your own smart purchasing decision.
So let’s get Started!
I. Oxfords
All right? Let's get into the first pair of shoes that you want to own. We're talking about oxfords, something that has closed lacing system.
Whole Cut ShoesNow, this is a wholecut dress shoe. It's pretty much got the elegant simple look.
Balmoral Toe Cap Oxfords
Here it's going to be a more classic one with the closed lacing system. This one has cap toe, it's in dark oxblood color.

These will work fine for wearing with a suit and that's what you want your first pair of shoes dress shoes to be able to is to wear them with a suit for a wedding, for a funeral, anytime you've got to wear that. You're meeting with the president, meeting with the CEO of your company, you're simply getting dressed up for your little communion. This is when you want to look your best and you need to have that pair of shoes that works with it.
II. Derby Shoes
Next, let's go on to Derby Shoes.These you can still sometimes pull off with a suit, but they're going to look better with occasionally dark-coloured jeans at the probably the most casual.
Open Lacing SystemSo, the second one and the big difference here is going to have an open lacing system, not a closed lacing system, so that's the key differentiator.
Casual Look
You'll find that these shoes in general are going to have may be Broguing or they're going to have ornamental stitching. So, these are going to be your more casual dress shoes.

III. Slip Ons (Loafers & Monk Straps)
Next, let's go to the slip-ons.The reason I love slip-ons is that they're casual, they're comfortable. Guys, when you are traveling you're going to the airport very easy to take on and off to be able to go through that metal detector.
LoafersNow, these are going to be a little bit less formal, but you can pull these off with a sports jacket, odd trousers combination. You can wear them with jeans, they are going to look great.
Monk Straps
These are bit more formal than the Loafers, they come with a wide range, I mean single, double, triple, you can easily pull them off on any formal occasion.

You can always dress them up with a pair of, you know, gray flannel trousers, just regular dress slacks maybe with a sports jacket. These are going to be very versatile. These are great and I think should be the second pair of shoes in a man's wardrobe.
IV. Dress Boots
The fourth shoe style that I'm going to talk about, gentlemen is the dress boot.
ChukkaIt has an open lacing system, so that right there is going to make it much more casual. I think this looks best with a pair of, you know, gray flannels maybe trousers with an odd jacket with jeans that looks great.
Chelsea
And because they're going to be simpler in design, they actually sometimes can be worn with a suit. However, if you live in an area in which you get some bad weather, you want something that's going to go up a little bit higher on the sides and protect your ankles and socks.

V. Repeat
All right, gents, so you're wondering what is the fifth dress shoe that I'm going to recommend. Guys, I want you to go back and look at the four that I just mentioned, find out which one you're wearing most often and repeat it maybe in the slightly different style slightly different color.Honourable Mentions :
Brogues So, as we're going through I didn't really even talk about brogues, wingtips, but these would be a great addition as a fifth shoe.
Darker Colors
I like to go in darker colors and I like to stay within one color for most of my shoes. For me, it's going to be oxbloods and dark browns. I find that those are going to match most of everything.

Black Some of you guys are going to love the color black, so make sure that all of your shoes kind of work building up your interchangeable wardrobe.
That is all for now, let me know what you think in the comments and talk you guys in the next post.
