Whoever said men’s fashion world isn’t as expansive as that of women’s clearly knew nothing of the vast variety of men’s shoe styles. Women, despite having a room-full of shoes, can find none appropriate for any events. Men, on the other hand, just need a few specific ones that will complement their look for every event in their life. Here goes a list of 5 types of shoes every man must have in his closet.

 2. Suave Oxfords

 From weddings to business meetings to even a fashionable casual outings, oxford shoes give that final touch of class to your overall look. While a simple pair of classic black/brown oxfords is a great pick for formal events, slight details like broguing and offbeat colours can give you a suave street look.

While the aforementioned are the must-haves, following are certain types that make you look like an ordinary Joe, which is why it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get rid of them.

Skechers

You might say that skechers are comfortable, but that doesn’t justify teaming them with office formals? Depending on the material, most shoes can be comfortable, but if casual is what you are more inclined towards, say hello to sneakers instead!

Square or pointed dress shoes

As outdated as 1950’s, these unfortunate styles briefly made an appearance in stores some years ago but sometimes still haunt the gentlemen’s circles. If you haven’t dumped them already, do so pronto!

Men’s shoes say a lot about them and to put it straight, reflect their personality. Therefore, it is only good sense to own practical and stylish shoes.
