It's often said that you can tell a man by his shoes. It's not just about what condition they are in, the type of shoe says a lot about a man's attitude and approach to life.
The good news is, when you know what image you wish to project you'll find it easy to choose the perfect model of shoes. This is particularly important when choosing men's casual business shoes, first impressions really do count!
Here's how you choose the perfect model.
1. Create The Right Impression
If you see someone wearing flip-flops then you can be confident that they are either on holiday or very laid-back. But this isn't something you would wear to work.
If you're looking to be taken seriously, then your shoes need to be serious, yet still casual. While our Mathis multi black lace-ups are a great option for formal occasions, you'll find our array of Mules a better option for that casual business setting.
For example, our Tangerine 7 brushed navy mules have dual metal buckles, hand-polished calfskin tops and open backs. It's a great balance between smart and casual.
2. Check The Setting
It's comparatively easy to get carried away and go super casual. However, it's best to consider the setting before you break out your sneakers.
Even casual business settings are semi-formal. Keep it smart with a touch of casual by selecting our Tangerine 15.1 brushed black loafers. They look more like formal shoes but have a stylish buckle and small heels. That combined with the polished calfskin will create just the right first impression.
Of course, if you want something a little more flamboyant and the setting allows, you can opt for our Morris Pony Leopard Slippers.
3. Consider The Time Of Year
When you want business casual make sure you consider what time of year it is. In the cooler months, nothing says business casual better than a pair of boots. You need look no further than our Maxime Python Black High Tops!
As the name suggests, these are high-top boots, meaning they sit over your ankle. They're made from genuine python skin and are handcrafted (see also: our exhotic leathers men shoes!). In short, they are comfortable, will turn heads and keep any outfit casual.
Getting your style right is often difficult. However, if you think about the impression you want to make and the clothes you are usually comfortable in, you'll find it's much easier to make the right decision. It really is possible to look your best all the time!
