So, you want to dress to impress. Then you’re going to need the perfect dress shoes, whatever the occasion. Show up and stand out from the crowd in men’s dress shoes and casual dress shoes. Instantly take your outfit to dapper new levels by adding oxfords to the equation. Formal weddings to more casual meet ups, the oxford is the perfect shoe for any occasion. Dress it up when you pair it with nice slacks and suit jacket or go the more casual route by pairing with a nice pair of tailored denim and relaxed shirt. Oxfords not your style? Thank goodness for men’s loafers. Another great staple to keep on hand for whenever and whatever the occasion’s dress code. Not only are loafers easy to wear, just slip your foot in and go, they’re also incredibly versatile. Pairing nicely with linen pants or jeans, the men’s loafer was made for your more casual functions.

Need to spruce it up a bit? The loafer also does formal. Suit trousers or chinos, a button-down shirt, and a blazer, meet the ultimate dress-to-impress outfit. Add some dimension to your shoes by choosing a cap-toe oxford or loafer. Unlike other shoes, the cap-toe has a visible seam across the toe creating a “cap” effect. Dress them up for more formal events by going with a black shoe or keep your options open with a brown shoe. Another way to up your dress shoe game is to step out in a pair of wingtips. Perfect for formal affairs, the wingtip features a seam across the top like the cap-toe, however with the wingtip the seam is forms either an “M” or “W” shape. So what color of dress shoe should you go with? There are no wrong answers. The most popular color choices for men’s dress shoes are black and brown. If you’re headed to something more formal black is the traditional color for all things fancy. The good thing about brown men’s dress shoes is they can do both depending on what your dress them with. Fancy suit to your favorite pair of jeans, the brown shoe was made to fit any dress code. 

No matter the event or occasion, DSW has you covered for all formal and dress shoe needs at Shop men’s dsw.com, in store, or through the DSW app.
