You know the saying that you can always judge a man by his shoes. That is all the more reason why men need to pay attention to what shoes they wear.
In the past, when black leather shoes were the option available for men, things were much easier to comprehend but ever since shoe designers began manufacturing shoes for males on a large scale we have seen a lot more happening in the shoe market for males.
Moccasins shoes have become very popular in today’s times but the problem is that men don’t know what to wear with them.
How To Wear Moccasins?
Casual
If you are going somewhere where it will be warm or just want to stock up for the summer, a pair of moccasins in a neutral light color can be a good alternative to sandals. They are lightweight and easy to slip on. Plus, they give your feet a good amount of padding and protection so that they won’t kill you after your commute. It is very easy to create a casual look with a pair of leather moccasins and even if you are not in the mood to be creative, just pair a simple crew neck T-shirt with raw denim jeans. Just make sure the jeans are not very loose and there are no boot cuts. Just a simpler pair of slim fit or tapered jeans will do. In addition, you can also try cuffing the end of your jeans to emphasize your shoes and add a bit of contrast to the outfit.
Keep the colors neutral to ensure the overall look is understated and add a little bit of color with your moccasins if you feel the outfit is too simple. Finally, coming to whether you should wear socks. It is best not to wear them with premium leather moccasins but if you are not comfortable with the idea, then you can wear trainer socks which will protect your feet without letting anyone know you are wearing them.
Smart Casuals
A good thing about moccasins is that they don’t overpower the outfit. They easily blend into whatever style you are looking for so even a smart casual look will work with these shoes. Pairing them with slim-fit chinos will create a smart and relaxed look while adding a formal element to the casual shoes.
For a light finish, pair slim fit beige trousers with light coloured moccasins shoes and avoid socks. Complete the look with a white oxford shirt. If you want to go bold, wear moccasins in a bright colour like vibrant blue or red. The main reason behind this is to keep your outfit neutral so that the shoes become the centre of attention.
You can also go for a less summery vibe by choosing chinos in a dark tone like navy and pairing it with a casual slim line T-shirt. Wear moccasins that are bold, black or navy in colour. Avoid a color that is lighter than the chinos or you will end up looking top-heavy.
Smart
Even though leather moccasins mens give a casual vibe, you can also use them in a more formal way. For a twist on the classic suit, choose moccasins in a bold color and match it with a navy suit. Creating a clean canvas with a neutral colour suit and making your shoes the centre of attention will lend a good balance between bold and sleek. A general rule of thumb is that if you have decided to wear a grey suit, then go for blue coloured moccasins and for a navy suit, wear red coloured moccasins.
