The 3 Dress Shoes Every Man MUST HAVE In Their Wardrobe

If you are a man on a budget and you don't have that extra $$$ to go out and splurge on every single pair of shoes you see and like.....then I am going to outline the 3 essential shoe styles that every guy needs to have in their wardrobe.

The Wingtip

This is a classic style of men's shoes. You would think to yourself...."My Granddad wears that style" but nowadays you can get some really stylish versions of the classic favorite - (like the example pictured).

The wingtip dress shoe is perfect for all your formal occasions (like weddings, work functions or pretty much anything that you need to wear a suit to) and they come in a wide variety of color. Note that you should buy this style in a color that is going to go with all of your suits. I only recommend buying any dress shoe in brown if your suits are in the Navys and Grays....otherwise stick to the black as it is more versatile.

The Plain Toed Black Lace Up

This shoe is a "must have" as it will be the most versatile and most worn of all the 3 styles of dress shoes that I am discussing in this post. There is no wingtip or capped toe in this shoe and it can be worn for a variety of occasions. You can wear it with a suit, with jeans, to work or just to do normal everyday activities. This shoe will suit pretty much any occasion - both formal and casual. and can be worn with a variety of different looks and outfits. Like I said, this is a quintessential must have for your wardrobe.

The Modern Penny Loafer

This is your more casual dress shoe. A penny loafer is basically a casual slip on shoe that you can wear with jeans and casual suits. Another very versatile style of shoe that you would wear a lot more than your wingtip which you would mostly utilize for your more formal occasions. 

The Penny Loafer can be for mostly casual affairs but you can get away with wearing them with a casual suit if you are attending a more casual formal event.

I hope that I have given you some insight into the 3 quintessential shoes to have as part of your wardrobe. If you are looking for more styling tips, have a look at some of my other posts or if you like any of the shoes in pictures featured in the post, you can find them at MR Angel Shoes.
