Formal footwear - Paul Green

Formal shoes, as the name suggests, are shoes that we want to shine in society, at special gatherings, balls, weddings, and cultural events. The most important criterion considered is elegance, while for men we include mainly social half-shoes in the category of formal shoes, for ladies of course pumps and some models of sandals. When choosing formal footwear, we must take into account the dress code for the event.

FORMAL SHOES ARE SUBJECT TO A DRESS CODE

Just as the events for which you want to wear dress shoes may differ, so may the dress code. While you might wear closed-toe pumps or closed-toe sling pumps to an indoor corporate event, you might pull off a sleek open-toed sandal for a company garden cocktail. Overall, open-toed footwear is looked down upon in society. A classic closed-toe shoe model will do you a better service in this regard than an albeit luxurious, but still open-toed shoe such as a peep toe pump. When choosing colors, the same applies, choose appropriately for the occasion. Weddings, christenings, graduations, and graduation ceremonies can tolerate bold colors such as gold or silver, business events want burgundy, beige, white, or navy blue. Always match the shoes to the outfit. If your formal shoes should be exclusive, the brands Högl, Menbur, Peter Kaiser or Gabor are waiting for you on Robelshoes.eu.

In men's formal shoes, the obvious choice is a pair of half-shoes, preferably leather, lace-up, the kind from which elegance radiates at first glance. The color of the shoes again depends on the color of the rest of the outfit. Also, gentlemen, if you try a little color experiment, it is usually acceptable. You can easily substitute brown or cognac for the black half-boots, dark blue or burgundy takes more courage. Take your pick from the Bugatti, Lloyd, Faber or Daniel Hechter collections.
