What you need to know:

SHOE DEAL. Shopping for shoes may seem like an effortless activity. Well, that is until you have to pick a variety to match your casual and formal outfits.

The trick in picking out the right shoes is to consider the shades. Gloria Haguma brings you a guide on the four shades that you must have that will be easy to alternate with your outfits.

The classic black
Just like the little black dress, the black lace up shoes are a classic when it comes to men’s footwear. These shoes will be easy to alternate between a formal and causal looks.
The trick here is in picking out a pair that will last long as you may have to wear it for at least the first three days of the week, if you are in a work environment.

Brown brogues
If you find the black shoes so regular, then you could opt for the brown brogues. These give a fresh and new look to your foot wear. They work best on suited looks, and on an office look.
You can alternate the brown tone with others. So you have a variety.

White
Just like how black works perfectly for the formal shoes, white is the perfect colour for the sneakers. Do not even try to wear white for formal shoes. Keep this shade on the sneakers, high tops, loafers.

Bold coloured shoes
This also includes the neons. These bold coloured choices will work best on shoes like the Nike air max sneakers. These will work when you wear shorts, jogger pants and chinos. The bolder the colour, the better a statement you will make.
