Step In The Right Direction – The Stylish Gentleman’s Footwear Checklist


Oxford shoes

Lanvin OxfordOxfords are a simple yet traditionally elegant dress shoe. They can be worn for formal black-tie events or for business. They are the gentleman’s go-to form of footwear when it is time to get serious.

  • For basics that require a serious tone; opt for black, brown, and burgundy color selections
  • However, bright colors are hot right now, so experimentation is welcome, but don’t get too carried away
  • Yes, oxfords can be paired with jeans as well; think about how sweet and salty works so well together – yes, just like that
  • Oxfords are characterized by their closed lacing – meaning the sides of the shoe are sewn under the front portion, thus giving the appearance of total enclosure; this is the highest form of “dressy” one can obtain
  • The more embellishments on the leather, the more casual it becomes
  • For occasions such as interviews, weddings, funerals, and the like; please own more than one pair
