Think about your preferred style One of the most fun ways to bring your wardrobe into the holiday spirit is to dress up your feet with some festive shoes. But, if you're not sure what to wear, you might end up looking like a deer caught in the headlights—whether it's because you're wearing a Christmas shoe with a Christmas outfit or because you're wearing the wrong kind altogether. If you're looking for a style that works for more than one type of holiday celebration and isn't too wild, consider a pair of derby shoes, also known as spectator shoes. Derby shoes are considered one of the more gentlemanly styles of footwear, but they've gotten more casual lately and work well for dressing up a casual outfit Consider colour The colour of men's shoes is an often-overlooked aspect of style. This is a shame, as the colour of your shoes can make a surprisingly large difference to your appearance. Picking the right pair of shoes to match your wardrobe can be the difference between looking like you're trying too hard and looking effortlessly stylish. Footwear Colour Guide Let's start with the basics: what colour should you wear? If you have a black suit, then black shoes are probably appropriate for you. Alternatively, brown or tan would be good choices for most suits. If you've got a navy blue or grey suit, then you'll probably want to stick with either black or brown shoes. For those in love with their brown suits, don't worry: brown footwear is always appropriate, even if it doesn't match your suit. In addition to your suits, there are other factors that play into choosing which colours of shoe will work best for you. It also depends on how formal an occasion it is—formal events may call for two pairs of shoes: one for parties before dinner, and one for the actual event itself. At less formal occasions—casual get-togethers with friends or family—you may wish to avoid the extra pair entirely and just wear Conclusion Shoes are a necessity and a luxury. The right pair can make you feel powerful, beautiful and comfortable. Find the right pair to fit your lifestyle, and you'll have found the perfect accessory.
