Menswear is all about the details. As professional, office and daily workwear becomes more casual, it is more important that leather goods (shoes, belts, and wallets) are high quality and appropriate in their level of formality. This allows you to keep your professional look elevated and well… professional, not overly relaxed.
In this 8-minute video, I will explain the detailed differences between 5 lace-up black shoes, as well as give some examples from lower-priced Johnston and Murphy and higher-priced Allen Edmonds on the JHilburn website that I think are great for business casual applications. Ever wonder what a “social sneaker” is? And I’ll finish off with 2 more not-to-wear’s. my goal is that you will have a better understanding of what shoes to own based on your lifestyle (and budget) and know which ones to reach for depending on your day at hand.
Enjoy the video and reach out if you have any questions while shoe shopping (or cleaning out your dusty ole shoe rack!) this season.
