Breaking Traditional Barriers for Casual and Formal Wear Shoes

Traditions are the guidelines that define what is appropriate, where. While it is easy to follow the rules and be classy all the time, rules are meant to be broken. By keeping the overall look conservative you can gel with the crowd and stand out by adding a twist to your footwear. A great pair of shoes does not necessarily mean a black leather shoe; it can be anything that compliments your personality, mood and event. You could be in a pair of cobalt blue oxfords and look every bit as classy or even more so than your conservatively dressed counterparts. When you wear your attitude with confidence in the form of shoes that are statement makers, you are never short of attention.

Make sure you have the personality to carry off vivid colours and designs before you kick off in an elongated toe or pop coloured shoe. If you are an introvert and avoid attention like the plague, you should stick to neutral colours like black and brown. But of late, burgundy and olive green have also established themselves as routine colours and you could try to go with them when the urge to splurge on colour strikes.

For the gregarious and outgoing man, the sky is the limit. You could wear any colour from fuchsia, red and orange to ink blue, lime green and many more. Try out contemporary styles in funky colours or funky styles in traditional colours or a blend of eclectic colour scheme and designing to your best advantage. Pair such shoes with muted clothes in basic construction to ensure the shoe remains the focus of attention as it is meant to.

For the truly flamboyant man, a riot of colours only helps define his personality. Not for the faint hearted, he can carry off a patterned shirt with bright chinos and a contrasting shade of shoes. Go in for the trendiest colours of the season and mix and match with contrasting and complementing colours for maximum impact. Go with your instinct and with your attitude to back your instinct, you can rarely go wrong.

More and more people are doing away with dress shoes as the norm for wedding wear and even for the Groom. They prefer to go with their personality and make a unique style statement. It is the same at the office also where the Oxfords are being increasingly replaced by the Monks for their added comfort and trendier look. And the reverse is equally true as well. More young people than before are taking to pairing their distressed jeans, chinos and khakis with balmorals and bluchers. With oodles of confidence and an eye for the funky, you can easily slip from being the classically styled man to the contemporary metro-sexual man who is not afraid to express himself.
