7 SHOES EVERY MAN MUST OWN

Contrary to popular belief, men take as much (if not more) care of their looks and clothes as women do. They may act like they just fall out of bed and into their outfit for the day but that's far from the truth. It's true, however, that they make up their own rules of fashion and refuse to listen to us when they look ridiculous. Too much pride na? Remember: Pride goeth before a fall. And fall you won't if you just follow this simple guide to 10 shoes you must own! 

1. White Sneakers

Nothing looks fresher on a man than light blue jeans and spotless white kicks. While these are difficult to maintain, the effect is too charming to ignore. Obviously, don't wear them if you're going to be walking around in dirt!

2. Tan Hiking Boots

What's manlier than looking like a Lumberjack? Pair these boots with torn jeans and a checked shirt to look like the toughest guy in the room.

3. Dress Brogues

While we like Lumberjack-tough-guys as much as the next girl, sometimes we need a polished man who can rock a tuxedo with formal dress shoes. Save these for weddings and super formal occasions.

4. Formal Day Shoes

What do you wear to a formal brunch? Or to the Derby? Everyone can't pull of the Kolhapuris with a suit look  à la Ranveer Singh. We suggest investing in a pair of formal day shoes in brown or black. Brown says more 'day' than black though. Tan is even better. 

5. Moccasins

The perfect shoe for casual Friday. These shoes are super comfortable and so easy to slip on. It's an instant style hack. This one is definitely a must-have. Buy this pair now!

6. Plain Black Sneakers

These are going to be your best friends so buy a pair that's comfortable. Wear them for dinners, clubbing, movies, plays, work, dates, wherever you want. Pick up a pair that matches with everything but still has a personality. Like these ones from Aldo.

7. Flip Flops

Yes. Flip flops are a must have. But first you have to promise never to wear them to work. EVER! Also, real men don't wear all-rubber 'chappals'. Pick a pair with some leather or other details to keep it classy. This pair from Aldo is perfect. Pick it up here. 

That pretty much covers up the basics. The experimental gentleman can invest in dual colored wing tips, cowboy boots, brightly colored loafers and trendy Kicks.
