Dress Shoes – Still Look Smart
Dress shoes are an American term referring to shoes that are worn at smart casual or formal events. They are worn by both men and women. Although they can be worn daily as an everyday pair of shoes, many will just reserve them for parties, dinner events and dances.
Men’s dress shoes are usually either black or brown. These two colours are able to be worn with most other colour combinations and still look smart. Other colours are available but most are found in the former colours. Men’s dress shoes are made of leather which includes all parts of the shoe i.e. outers, soles and inners although rubber soles are also found to increase longevity. Men’s shoes are categorised by the style of the straps.
Ladies dress shoes, as opposed, to men’s are available in a variety of colours and styles. They have a rounded or pointed toe and are made entirely of leather, also. However, other more popular fabrics are suede and wool. The heel height is frequently around 2 inches and the straps can vary according to the different styles. Pumps, loafers, mules, sandals and high heel shoes can all be considered dress shoes.
