Why are wedding shoes so important for couples who are about to enter the auditorium?
No matter who you are, at every important moment, you will want to have the best presentation; The same is true of “marriage”.
In Linguo, we met many newlyweds, accompanied them to choose gentlemen’s shoes on the red carpet, and listened to the different needs of each couple. How do you choose a pair of wedding shoes? We have sorted out three principles so that couples can have a direction when choosing wedding shoes and find the most suitable wedding shoes for themselves.
Rule 1: Choosing the right last is half the battle.
The last is the soul of a pair of leather shoes.
Different lasts also convey different vibes.
For example, the elegant and calm elegant round toe and the fashionable and neat Italian square toe, each person will also show a different temperament when wearing the last. 
▲ The left is the E-Last Italian square toe / the right is the C-Last elegant round toe (point picture to see the last classification).
“C-Last Elegant Round Toe”, with its rounded lines, gives a sense of maturity and stability, and is suitable for formal occasions, so it is recommended for the groom-to-be who chooses wedding gentleman’s shoes.
In addition, the elegant round-toe gentleman’s shoes are also suitable for general office workers, business, and even casual times, and there are more opportunities for use in the future.
The “E-Last Italian Square Toe” has clean lines and makes people feel distinctive, which is suitable for grooms who like to try different styles.
It is more fashionable and eye-catching, as if you feel the romance of the streets of Italy.
If the neat lines are worn in the workplace in the future, the applicability will vary from person to person, and a strong sense of line can bring a stronger and eye-catching feeling.
Rule 2: Your Gentleman’s Shoes Define your gentleman’s style.
Once you’ve decided on the last, the next step is to choose the shoe shape; There are four main types of gentleman’s shoes.
Oxford, Derby, Monk and Loafer will be suitable for different formal occasions.

Monk shoes | Loafers start with the most obvious features, which can be divided into lace-up models (oxfords, derbys) and non-lace models (monks, loafers); It is generally believed that “shoelaces” are more formal than “shoelaceless” gentleman’s shoes, so if you want to show a grand and formal feeling when attending a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, Oxford shoes and derby shoes with laces are good choices.
Oxfords have an enclosed lacing at the wings, while Derby shoes have an open lacing.
“Oxfords” are generally considered to be the most formal of the four major shoe types.
From the perspective of practical wear, the “Derby shoes” are more comfortable to wear at the instep because of the open wings (some people will find Oxford shoes too restrained to wear).
In addition, “Monk shoes” and “loafers” have less shoelace restraint and more spontaneous and yuppie feeling. For the groom-to-be who wants a different variation, these two shoes should be very suitable for your taste!

Rule 3: There is a way to pick the right color, so that there is no mistake in matching!
Divide the color of your gentleman’s shoes into three major areas, black, brown, bright (and other colors), and match them with the color of the suit you will wear for your wedding, and you can find the right color that will not go wrong.
▎ Black – Calm and steady reliance
Calm black is always the classic color, if you are wearing a black suit, choosing the same black gentleman’s shoes will greatly reduce the probability of error, and will also make people have a calm and restrained feeling. Among the black leather shoes, you can choose specially designed styles, such as the winged viewer oxfords with different material panels, or the Ghillie winged carved shoes with special lace designs.

▎ Brown – Elegant character life
The warm brown color exudes a gentleman’s essence and has an elegant temperament that is different from black shoes. If your wedding suit is black or dark blue, then pairing it with brown gentleman’s shoes is just the right color contrast to make the overall outfit a bright spot. And brown leather shoes, which are also suitable for casual pairing with denim pants and khaki pants, will not make people feel “too serious”!
