The Party Shoes Edit
Party Shoes for Men
Penny Loafer
The loafer is a reliable, stylish footwear alternative shoe for men, they always give the impression you know how to put together an outfit. Perfect for daytime events when paired with tailored shorts or chinos, they can also be easily adapted for a smarter feel with tailored trousers and a few cuff rolls. The classic penny loafer in brown suede is a classic summer go-to, whilst opting for a logo-embellished black penny loafer is the ideal formal slip-on.
Derby Shoes
Derby shoes are a classic cornerstone of every man’s wardrobe. No matter what you are wearing or how old you are, a derby shoe is always a safe smart shoe that will complement your style. A lighter brown pair is ideal for the changing season, whereas black is an all-around go-to option for any afternoon-turned-evening event. Dark brown and black styles work well for sharpening a smart-casual look. Whereas chinos and denim can easily become occasion-appropriate when paired with a simple light brown derby shoe and can tie any outfit together by adding a matching-coloured belt or blazer.
Chelsea Boots
Chelsea boots are an occasion-shoe hero all year round whether paired with simple blue jeans or cropped tailored trousers. For a more casual event looser, dark denim jeans may be the perfect fit, but when dressing for a formal occasion, a well-fitted pair of chinos or trousers in darker shades could work well with chelsea boots as a stylish option. Compliment with a button-down shirt and smart fitted jacket for that sophisticated feel. Heading into the transitional season, match some chelsea boots with a long-length topcoat, smart t-shirt and jeans for that minimalist look.

Choose an embellished shoe for a simple outfit to easily add some character to a more minimal look.
