Whether the man in question is the groom, the best man, or simply a wedding guest, men are notoriously bad at knowing which types and colours of shoes are appropriate for which suits. However perfect the suit is, the wrong type of shoe can ruin the overall look. For this reason choosing mens wedding shoes<\/a> is often the job of the bride, wife, girlfriend or even mother.<\/p>\n

Here are some pointers on choosing the right men’s shoe for a formal wedding suit<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Men’s wedding shoes should generally be as narrow as possible with a slightly pointed toe to give the impression of long slender legs. Round toed or boxy shoes won’t really work with a formal outfit. The only exception to this rule is a tuxedo, which is traditionally worn with a round toed shoe.<\/p>\n

The most popular style of men’s wedding shoe is a slightly pointed loafer without laces, but if you do choose laced shoes, you should make sure the laces are as thin as possible, and that they are exactly the same colour as the shoes.<\/p>\n

Leather is the usual material for formal shoes, and this can be either matt or glossy. For very formal events, particularly in the evening, a velvet slipper may be appropriate.<\/p>\n

The colour of the shoe can provide contrast with the wedding suit, but should never be the focal point of the outfit.<\/p>\n
