Have you Tried Tassel Shoes?

You’ll have to agree: us men have plenty of shoe types to choose from when we want to impress. Brogues (with all their varieties), boat shoes, espadrilles and monk-strap shoes are just a few examples.

Walk into any shoe store and you’ll see all of the above all lined up, waiting for you to purchase them. But should you?

The thing that sets this shoe apart from all others is – you got it – the tassel.

You can get tassels shoes in either regular leather or suede. Both of these pairs have perforations (similar to brogue shoes)>

Tassel shoes work great with just about any outfit, from casual to something that you would wear on a special occasion (think wedding).

If you’re a nonconformist you can wear them with your business attire but make sure you choose a darker color. Remember that dressing for success is also about avoiding bold colors and anything that may be too much of a distraction to your business partners.

But if you are, let me show you some great outfits that incorporate these amazing shoes.

Let’s say you’re going out. You could try…

Probably the edgiest combos with tassel shoes come from GQ (what a surprise).

Some of them are a little too much but GQ’s outfits are always a great resource to learn about color matching.
