The reason for that is because they actually are a traveling theme.  You can wear them with pretty much anything at all and honestly – they are comfortable enough that you can wear it while traveling.  Year round these shoes are good for, which is fantastic if you are looking to save a little money.

Puma, Nike and Adidas are all of the brands that produce some of these fantastic shoes and certainly should be where you look!

Firstly, patent leather shoes are definitely some of the fashion must-haves when it comes to shoes.  Men, pull off those sneakers and make sure that you get yourself some awesome leather shoes and I can tell you that you will be one of the hottest and most fashionable guys around.

Brands like Prada, Ed Hardy and ever Hugo Boss are all coming out with leather shoes and they seriously are incredible looking!

Today’s fashion faux pas involves too big and clunky, chunky shoes — clodhoppers, as they are colloquially known. You want to stay as far away from these as possible in certain circumstances. Being a huge fan of Doc Martens, which can get a little chunky, I cannot completely warn you against all clunky shoes.

Still, if you wear skinny jeans or fitted trousers, chunky shoes are not your friends. You ought to stay away from them while you are at the office for certain. Sure, that look was big during the last decade, but now it is just … big. Too big. Gargantuan.

It is far better, especially for work, to choose a shoe which is classic enough to both look great and last a long time.

I know.  I thought it was a horrible trend at first, too.  But then I saw this kid, this outfit, and these sandals.  Tim Hamilton knows how to hook you, doesn’t he, right down to the choice of models.

But I have to admit, I see where this could work.  I like the outfit, I like the way the sandals look with the shorts … and, okay, I like that face too, but that’s besides the point.  It all works, that’s the point.

Louis Vuitton has come out with some sandals as well, along with Ann Demeulemeester (who chose to show her collection with … senior models), Vivienne Westwood, and Lanvin.

So we all know that men are not the shoe whores that most women are but that does not mean guys that you can not dress and look great – that includes your shoes.  Take these shoes for example, these shoes are a fantastic example of how you can look incredible yet you do not have to spend a lot.

One of the coolest things about these shoes is the fact that they are super … super fashionable but they are not over fashionable.  So you do not have to worry about drawing attention to yourself, but they will because you will probably be one of the only guys that really knows how to put an outfit together.

So guys, the next time that you are thinking about pulling an outfit together, you should absolutely think about your shoes – after all, a lot of girls judge their man by their shoes!

I love the fact that Armani is not only one of the best suit makers in the world but that they can switch it up all of the time and come out with all sorts of things!  This piece is honestly one of the coolest looking casual suits I have seen in a very long time!  The mixing of the fabrics, the way that it hangs and the shoes, it all looks super comfortable and definitely cool!

So if you are looking for something to wear this spring, ditch the ratty old tee shirts guys and get yourself some of Armani’s newest collection, I can promise that you won’t regret it!

So Merryl Streep had it right boys when she said: “…it’s not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean” in The Devil Wears Prada, because this season, that is exactly what color is hot!  Cerulean is popping up on every runway in the world and while there are many different versions of this beautiful color, cerulean in all its forms is heating up the runway.

Sneakers, suit jackets, coats, pants, shirts, jeans and even socks and scarves have all been coming out blue and while I am personally a huge fan of the blue color, when it enough, enough?  Well, apparently, the runway does not think it will ever be enough and the designers are constantly coming up with more and more blue things!

So guys, be on the look out for … blue!  It is the hottest color this year and definitely a color that you should keep your eyes peeled for.  Just one tip … don’t wear an all blue outfit, we don’t need anyone suspecting you are a Smurf or something.

I love the high-contrast black and white panels though, and I’ll be on the lookout for a knockoff.

J’adore… Dior?

I’m not going to buy these pieces. I’m not going to consider buying these pieces. But they’re great in their own way, and they’re designed to the greatest details. The looks have just been upped on the Rick Owens website – so I suggest you check it out while you’re at it. Enjoy!
