men's corner: the basic black shoe...

a shoe can make or break an outfit...this applies to both men...and women...but let's face it...not all of us can have...or much less want a closet full of shoes...i of course...am cringing as i type that...for it certainly does not fall into my line of thinking...but there are those...un-like me...who only want the basics...

as was the case for my client's step-son...he was venturing out into the corporate world...and wanted some help with his wardrobe...including shoes...but of course...he was on a budget...and well...truth be told...it was more the step-mom who was wanting this little shopping trip for him...not so much him...

but...as always...with the clients that don't like to shop...i try and pre-shop as much as i can...so that the experience is a pleasurable one...and not a whole day event...so for someone starting out...it truly is back to basics...and when it came to the shoe...my first choice...was and is...the black lace-up...

pretty much...every man...should have a pair in his closet...no if's, and's or buts about it...this basic shoe...can be dressed up or down...which is always good for someone with a small shoe collection...and best of all...it can go with your dressier slacks...but also with your jeans...

doesn't that sound like a win-win?  a shoe that does it all...well...almost...
