The right shoes can bring an outfit together, but for men, choosing a pair of shoes that looks great is no easy task. In fact, most men get the whole ordeal wrong. Unlike many women, men can live off less than 10 pairs of shoes. Essentially, five different pairs is all that is needed to pull of most basic looks. But now, the modern man is required to go beyond the basics and stretch old, traditional styles. That’s where shoes like loafers and the monk strap come in. No, these shoes aren’t just for picky men. They are also for rugged individuals who have a strong sense of style. So before you skip the men’s section at the mall, maybe it’s time to go out of your comfort zone and pick a pair of shoes you wouldn’t normally wear. Who knows, your next pair might just be the one you can’t live without. Featured photo credit: Nice Laundry via nicelaundry.com
