The subject of shoes deserves a blog of its own. And although I’m sure many such blogs exist, you are reading mine and I like to be brief and to the point.
You need a smart pair of brown shoes and a smart pair of black shoes. They can be boots, winkle pickers, Lloyds, loafers, brogues or square-toes. Whatever the hell you like, basically. But you need at least one pair of brown and black.
Remember, the basis of this blog is to offer suggestions on how to craft a variety of tightly-composed, seamlessly coordinated outfits without blowing out your budget.
You don’t need as many pairs as Mario Cipolini to be cool. On an everyday level, it is how you wear something, not what label you are wearing that matters.
Buy a cheap pair of white summer pumps for casual outfits, and crack-out your smart shoes (costing no more than £100 a pair) whenever you feel the situation demands.
I’ve just bought a pair of mid-ankle brown Lloyds (in the sale for £25, no less) and they are amazing. Cool and smart in the same move, you really can’t ask for more from such a reasonably priced pair of shoes.
Go out, find the necessary additions to your wardrobe, and make them your own. Being the guy that always wears winkle pickers (me from 2004-10) has never felt so justifiably good!
