Not too long ago we touched on the investment worthy wardrobe pieces for any lady to own; you can read about it here . It seems unfair not to bring out the male aspect of it so we’ve decided to do a piece for the men too because there’s nothing more attractive than a well groomed man, and it all starts from the foot you put forward. There are times in our lives where it pays to invest in quality. Men’s dress shoes are such an occasion.

Dress Shoes

Little compares to the look of polished men’s dress shoes made from the finest leather. While you may wear your traditional penny loafers more often, invest in a premium pair of genuine leather men’s dress shoes in black, as well as brown, walnut or mahogany. You’ll be glad you have them to accompany your business dress or casual when the occasion arises.

The Brogue

The Brogue is a style of low-heeled shoe traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations (or "brogueing") and serration along the pieces' visible edge. Brogues are suitable for occasions, both social and business. Brogues may also come in the form of boots, canvas or leather sneakers or any other shoe type that includes or evokes the multi-piece construction and perforated, serrated edges characteristic of brogues.

Loafers/ Moccasins

The slip-ons are typically low, lace-less shoes, which are ideal for a more urban kind of look. Nowadays it comes in quite a number of colors, basically keeping one unrestricted.

Sneakers

More specifically, sneakers refer to footwear made of flexible material, typically featuring a sole made of rubber and an upper part made of leather or canvas. Sneakers were originally sporting apparel, but are today worn much more widely as casual footwear.

The Butterscotch Press Briefing for the Butterscotch Evenings being set in motion soon, held at Eko Hotel & Suites on Tuesday, May 7, 2013. Praise ‘Praiz’ Adejo, soul singer that has been stealing our hearts with his voice did so again but with his outfit for the day.

Praiz wore a black bishop-collared jacket by Nigerian designer Remi Buttons. The highlight of the blazer was its overwhelming amount of buttons. Loved it! He put a picture up of himself at the press conference and the blazer immediately called attention. He completed his look with white powder blue chinos, and black and purple Nike sneakers.

The blazer looks like the one modeled by MI Abaga in the 2011 Collection and the one modeled by Dayo Ephraim in the 2010 Collection by Remi Buttons.

The most iconic look a man about his business can ever pull off is a suited up look. The suit is the single most iconic ensemble in all of its variations; the three-piece suit, two-piece suit, pin-striped, peaked-lapel, plain suit and all. Suits match a variety of occasions, from big business occasions to weddings and even some more laid-back events, but the important thing is for a man to know how to wear it. It sounds silly that a man may not know how to wear a suit, but believe me when I say the streets are littered with traffic-stopping hot messes who cannot pull-off a suited look to save a drowning village!...
