Most of the men I know have about three pairs of shoes; the formal dress shoe, sandals and a very boring pair of sneakers. Well, in their defence, a man does not need that many shoes; those are women’s things. You are so wrong. Men need as many shoe options as you can afford and handle. And the most ideal choice, when you are thinking of causal footwear should be the high top sneakers. These cool and hip footwear are not only a great way to wear your skinny jeans, the sneakers are to men, what ankle strap heels are to women.
Now, when choosing these shoes, put the following into consideration; colours, prints and other detailing. Aside from the plain whites, black and tan, the black and white combinations always make quite the statement.
When it comes to the prints and other detailing, you can decide to go for the floral prints, stripes or even embellishments such as studs.
With regards to the outfit of choice if you decide to wear high top sneakers, always think skinny jeans, chinos and shorts; only!
I have seen a few instances where some men, especially celebrities wear their sneakers with dress pants, complete with a tux, but I wouldn’t recommend this look for just any one. It is the kind of look that needs the right attitude and poise to pull off. So for now, let’s keep these very stylish sneakers to the casual look only.
