want to become part of the movement make sure you join me on patreon for exclusive video and live stream content join me on that platform for things you will only see there details down in the description a simple pair of black lace-ups commonly called oxford is a staple in a classic masculine wardrobe my style personality i prefer a hole cut but you can go ahead and get cap toe cap toe or hole cut those are the only two options do not get things with medallions are broken or anything like that on your basic oxford these are the shoes you're going to wear on that interview these are the shoes you're going to wear into that wardrobe you can wear these shoes all the way up to and including a tuxedo like i said they're the workhorse foundation of your wardrobe get quality footwear number two we have a great pair of single monk or double monk strap shoes now guys here is where i want to tell you do not always go to black guys black is a great color and most guys want to go to black automatically but i need you to remember that black is a more of a dramatic color when you start getting to the other shoes you want to start looking at different shades of brown this is a nice mid brown with some burnishing on the toe i chose a nice single monk strap but it could have been single or double monk i recommend focusing on browns in your monk straps because they add a tremendous depth to your wardrobe you can wear these all the way up to level two dress that means you can wear these with a suit but not in classic business or boardroom kind of environments these can be worn with jeans slacks chinos opens up your wardrobe so much guys trust me the monk straps have the benefit of being a dress shoe but they also have the benefit of being kind of cool kind of sexy and making you look so much different than any other guy on the street next up we have a simple loafer now this is my loafer but yours will vary a loafer will either be penny bit or tassel most guys will use a bit or penny tassels depend upon your style personality but at the end of the day loafers are something that you just slide your foot into you can wear them with socks or with no-show socks and yes you can also rock and wear loafers with a suit however most guys prefer to have lace-ups on with the suit because it makes you feel a little bit more snug and depending upon your style personality or the environment you work in people can kind of tend to look down on loafers because they look a little bit too informal but when you're wearing with a pair of jeans or a great pair of trousers they open up your wardrobe immensely now with monk straps and your loafers this is the place where you can also take chances with different colors grays blues green burgundy kind of octopus so many different ways you could go there in addition to all different shades of brown next up we have the simple all-purpose white sneaker yep guys the simple white sneaker will always be a staple in the man's wardrobe now depending upon your style personality would depend on what kind of sneaker you get but you can't go wrong with the simple high-quality leather with a nice solid sole i prefer you to get a sole that would stand up to an industrial strict nail or tack guys the worst thing to do is be walking around in some sneakers and you're looking a little bit more casual and you step on something it appears that sole i know all the guys look at this particular style and think oh i can just give me some stances but guys remember quality says a lot get a high quality pair of all white sneakers especially if you plan on trying to dress it up and last but certainly not least the boot that chelsea boot a simple sleek chelsea boot is incredible for any man of any style personality chelsea boots do many things for guys first off it's fashion for it it makes you look sleek modern while still making it look masculine and rugged if you're on the shorter side it can add one or two inches to your height also because of the design it actually is a little bit more snug on your ankle to make you kind of feel more held in and as we transition into the fall and the winter time it also adds additional warmth guys i'll be honest you know me i am wearing boots most of the time even at my height because i simply love boots now yes a simple black pair of chelsea's is a must-have for i want to say almost any guy then after you get that do not be afraid to go out and get a nice slaced up dress boot or a chuckle boot also as we transition into the fall and the winter suede is going to make a huge impact into a boot wardrobe again i just wanted to give you the five basic shoes you need now going forward from these five shoes everything else is basically a lifestyle choice a style choice what colors you get what materials you get things like that are up to you but these are the basic five shoes that any guy will need in his wardrobe no matter what season no matter what
