A Guide To Mens Dress Shoes

The Formal pumps refer to formal shoes made for Black Tie events. They are made from shiny patent leather or suede leather. They are great alternatives to the Oxford shoes for formal wear.

The Derby is very similar to the Oxford shoe but the difference is in the lacing which is sewn outside the shoes. This style makes it less formal than the Oxfords. They are great to be worn with jeans, linen and semi-formal wear.

This is an elegant shoe style worn majorly for formal events and Black Tie Events. The most common colours are black and brown. Oxfords are great when paired with suits. Not particularly okay for semi formal or informal wear. Oxfords must always be worn with a pair of socks.

Dress boots are sleek, minimalis-tic and stylish. They can be worn as formal or informal wear de-pending on whether they are lace-up boots or Chelsea styled (with bands at the edges)

The Wingtip shoes refer to the cap toe that looks like wings stretching across the front of the shoe. Most wingtips are Derby shoes decorated with brogue leather. The Wingtips are great for Formal wear and semi formal wear. Today, two toned wing-tips are popular creating more style oppor-tunities.

Loafers are sometimes also known as slip-ons. They are very comfort-able and versatile. The Loafers are great for semi-formal to informal wear and come in several colours to VXLWHYHU\RQHVLQGLYLGXDOVW\OH

If anyone said braids were back, I will not agree and thats because as far as Im concerned, Braids were never out of vogue. Wearing braids is an African hair trend which sometimes has its popular season. Now ever since International Pop sensation Beyonce, stepped out in her side swept braided hair, shes sent her fans gaga and ultimately on a trend train. Not missing out on this trend are our own celebrities: Actress Monalisa Chinda, Fashion designer Yvonne Nwosu (Vonne Couture) and media personality Toke Makinwa.
