Put your best foot forward with these most stylish options in guys’ footwear.

It's been said that "beautiful shoes will walk you to beautiful places"; therefore, one must always place care and attention to their footwear. While a nice suit, the right shades, or a crisp button-down may grab someone's attention at first glance, it's the shoes that bring the whole look together. So you can never be too mindful when selecting the right pair of dress shoes for a special occasion.

Now, men's shoes can vary drastically from style to price. Are you a groom awaiting your partner down the end of the aisle? Or perhaps you're someone's plus one at a wedding. Maybe your company is throwing a fancy gathering, or you just need something light and breezy that can work in a casual setting as well. While each of these scenarios might call for a different type of dress shoe, you're probably still looking for something that you can mix and match with a variety of outfits. Because unlike a good suit that is reserved for specific occasions, shoes can be worn with more than one look. We bring you 10 different dress shoes for men, paired with 10 different occasions, from the classic sleek and serious shoe to the more informal summer shoe. From footwear you can buy over and over again through to ones you invest in only once. Whether you're buying for yourself, a friend, partner, or family, there is a style of shoe that'll fit just right. Don't forget that most of these options come in a variety of colors as well, so feel free to click on the link and see what suits you the most.
