Lets face it, most men don’t pay a lot of attention when it comes to selecting shoes. You wear the cleanest shoe in your shoe rack, regardless of the occassion…..

And, you know, shoes can make or break your outfit — no matter how well-coordinated, how well-planned or how well-structured the outfit is. Simply, a perfect outfit is nothing without the right pair of shoes.

All you need is FOUR shoes to save you from fashion disaster.

A dress shoe: Black AND Brown.

Thou must own a pair of black dress shoes for those formal occasions,business meetings, interviews and regular days at work. This is a classic rule, and there is no exception to that! 

Black dress shoes match with almost every type and colour of outfit. You wont get anything wrong with a pair of well polished, shining pair of black, dress shoes.

To get the perfect pair, start here: Black Dress Shoes
While black is still a classic color and reserved for ultra-formal occasions, brown has become an acceptable alternative for occasions that are less decorous, yet still proper. Brown , is simply the new black!

A Casual shoe or Sneaker

Be sure to adorn your feet accordingly by including something casual in your collection.

There are two ways you can go about it: a lace-up/loafer, sleek, structured and light casual shoe or a sneaker to go with your jeans and football jersey.

Dressing for a Valentine’s Day date is always a bit tricky.  You want to look sexy and sophisticated for your beau, yet trendy and true to yourself… very complicated.
But,be easy,there is a simple answer to that:Just be simple,rhyme with your personality-and that’s all!
It all starts with peace of mind,Valentine’s Day is about love. Send your loved ones a gift- you can let them choose what they want- and do other things that let them know you love them.
That,before you embark on what to wear on this Couples Occasion:
Ladies

Capital FM

If you like to play to Valentine’s Day, chose a hue of red or pink as a reference to the occasion’s theme, love of course! This can be achieved by a red wedge or colour block booties, they are classic!

You may go for an all red outfit: silky red top, red hot trousers or a red dress that you can glam up with these floral loveys, some red jewelry,a clutch/a little handbag and red lipstick. Add a blazer on to get a smart look.
And you don’t care too much about looking like love; you simply wish to look lovely. In that case, just step into a glamorous strap heel or light pump.  And a boot for the evening.Whatever you choose,get just one red item to make a Valentine’s Day fashion statement: red coat, shoes, red skirt or top, scarf, nails or just lips

Whatever you do,you don’t want to end up looking like a Christmas tree!

 

In Bits:

  • When wearing pink or rose, stay away from black heels instead try nude, rose or dark brown.
  • Try mixing red and pink. They actually DO go great together! But make one color your main item and one an accessory. (Like the pink jeans pictured with the red heels)
  •  Don’t get red-crazy. Stick with ONE red item at a time (i.e. a dress, a pair or jeans or a top). Wearing a red top with red jeans is shagzmondoz(pun intended). Same goes for pink.

Gentlemen

Men forget Valentine’s Day. Or any other day that counts to women. Only gentlemen do! So, gentlemen, how do you dress on this day?
For Valentine’s Day, show the one you love, that regardless of the kind of date, there’s not just lots of love in your heart, but a little bit of love in your outfit,too!
Conservative is great for Valentines,that means black,brown or khaki colours always hit for men. And yes! This is the day to shun that casual boy-look and don a fitting suit,complete with a tie and a pocket square!

Buy Online

You will also look great in jeans or khakis topped with a sweater or a nice looking shirt.A casual blazer also scores.
As for shoes,try to go with your look.If you are wearing a suit,match it up with a pair of well shone dress shoes.

Remember Khaki’s- those should be worn with casual shoes such as the Safari boot and loafers.

 

So:
Opt for the design you feel most comfortable in and remember it’s about how you wear it and how you style it.

The most important thing though remains how you feel: fun, comfy & confident. So ditch all the fashion rules and enjoy yourselves, sometimes all it takes is a smile, nice shoes and a cool accessory to pull together the best look!
Remember, we are covering some of the costs! Valentine’s doesn’t have to be too costly!

Have a Great Valentines Day!
