Popular men’s dress shoes and why we wear them

While the saying goes, “the shoe makes the man”, at Upscale Menswear, we believe that the shoe enhances the man, and that nice footwear can add a tremendous amount of style and class to your wardrobe and every day look. So, if you’re hoping to add some unique footwear additions to pair alongside your designer ensembles, the following three types of shoes are some of the most popular and stylish pumps on the market! 

The Oxford shoe (otherwise known as Balmorals) 

Considered to be one of the most popular men’s footwear styles, this classic shoe offers the perfect mix of formality and casual appeal, making elegance an easy title to achieve for the fashion-forward man. 

Designer Oxfords are manufactured in an abundance of colors, but neutral shades of browns, greys, and black are the most sought-after styles. Although they’re typically sleek in their design, modern trends have led to the creation of heavier constructions that allow these commanding shoes to pair well with both dress pants and jeans. With the closed-lacing characteristic, Oxfords possess a fashionable charm that can be enjoyed at just about any function.

The Derby shoe (otherwise known as Blüchers) 

Possessing stone’s throw similarity with the Oxford shoe, Derby’s differentiate in style because the lacing is sewn on the outside of the shoe to show visibility of the flaps. This noticeable lacing style makes the footwear a bit more ceremonial than the classic Oxford and less likely to be paired alongside casual outfits. Not only do Derby’s possess an abundance of electrifying colors, but they also come in brogue and non-brogue, cap-toed, wing-tipped, and many different types of leather.

The Loafer shoe 

All men need a type of footwear that looks as great as it feels, which is why Loafer shoes are the perfect comfy combination of informal high-class. They’re constructed to easily slip on and off, making their everyday use incredibly versatile — walk the dog, attend a meeting, and go out for dinner — dubbing the little of the traveling business man’s best friend. They’re simplistic to remove when making your way through airport security and are able to be paired with socks to create a laid-back look that complements a casual button-up.

While many brands specialize in creating leather and PU leather Loafers, none are as popular as Mauri shoes. Mauri Loafer shoes offer unique patterns and designs geared towards the fashionable gent, which guarantees they’re the talk of your next socially distant occasion. The best part is that we sell Mauri Loafer shoes and other high-quality Loafers at competitive prices with the opportunity to add coupons to further the discounted price.
