Passion for shoes is not just for women and it shouldn’t be! Guys; no style is finalized with a great pair of shoes. After all, footwear is one of the most
important aspects of any look. Remember; what you choose to put
on your feet actually does reflect something about you, whether it be laziness
(socks with slip-on sandals), obliviousness (untied sneakers) or keen style
savvy (Those trendy suede desert boots I love so much).

Suede desert boots look good on everyone.
Less formal, less sporty; just the way it should be! If they're
good enough for prince harry, they are good enough for you too!

Men's footwear brand Allen Edmonds did a
survey of 1,000 American men and women, and they found that women judge men's
shoes twice as much as men judge women's. 64 percent of women judge a man's
fashion sense based on his shoes; 52 percent of women say they judge a man's
personality by his shoes; 36 percent say they use shoes to determine a man's
financial position; and 54 percent say men's shoes reflect a guy's attention to
detail (or lack thereof).
First rule first: Either you wear Oxfords,
sandals or trainers, make sure that they are clean and polished!
Men’s footwear summer fashion trend 2014
collections show a variety of models are showed like loafer, boots, moccasins,
sleepers, top-siders and indoor trainers. Besides, some key points are important
too. Such as suede, geometric and floral designs, and bright colours. As I see,
using classic shoes in a sporty way is/has been the ‘essential for SS14’ for the designers. We
see wicker and perforated materials and partial perforation a lot from
well-known brands.
- Espadrilles. The comfortable trend. We were already expecting this from London Collections: Men spring/summer 2014. :) They come in neutral shades, bright saturated colours or models with fashionable print. Traditional cotton, fabric or glitter fabric is also used commonly.

- Sandals. Forever! Especially the gladiator ones are the winners! Either you can choose leather ones or canvas, these is a ‘must have’ in your wardrobe.

- When it comes to attending to a party or a dinner you can choose smart looking espadrilles, oxfords or loafers. They are always ‘in’. Try to pick the wicker ones (If you go with leather).
