Mens (semi) formal wear thread. Come join in on the gayness!

[Euphoric One]

Easily the gayest thread I've ever created, but I just bought a new suit today and I was having a debate with my friend about what type of shoes you wear with a semi-formal suit (wedding).

Out of the shoes below, which is proper for business and which is proper for semi-formal wear?



I'll make up for this with a future watch thread. :lol1:

EDIT: So what would everyone else wear to a wedding? Shoes, style of suit, shirt, tie, etc.?

I wouldn't wear the shoe on the right under any circumstance. But I would say that it is more formal.

 

[BoneStock02]

Shoe on right is more formal.

Right side

 

[SVTullio]

The usual rule of thumb is that laces=casual.

The ones are the left are more formal.

BTW I dont see anything wrong with those shoes...

Getting ready for the wedding?

They'll both look the same when you have them on anyways.

right side looks more comfortable..slip on is always a winner in my book. Left side is sharp though. Assuming the suit is black or Gray, either one looks good.

The shoe on the right has a buckle that I'm taking flack for though. No buckle with a suit?

 

[bscarberry]

Don't limit your choices to just those 2. Have you considered a sensible pump or wedge yet???














J/K I'll take the one on the right... laces in dress shoes are for 60 year old men

 

[VirtualSVT]

didn't even know they made dress shoes with laces anymore....

That is what I didn't like about that shoe. I just don't like the styling of the buckle itself though.

A buckle?... Then laced shoes... Or you could just wear this hat to complete the outfit.

Pull a David Letterman and sport some white Nikes. Have fun and breathe deep.

I own the shoe on the right OP, it is very comfortable, I wear it with my suit for weddings and formal events.

 

[bscarberry]

Problem solved... no buckle, not too dressy and cole haan air soles are amazingly comfortable

Neither is proper for business. WTF is wrong with people and their square toed shoes? I would wear neither of those with a suit. Square toes = casual or an idiot that doesn't know how they should dress for business.

Since it's a wedding, they may be ok with a sport coat, but are still crappy shoes that shouldn't be worn with a suit.

If you want a business and even a casual wedding shoe, the Park Avenue is the way to go.

More Fortune 500 execs wear that shoe than any other.

If you absolutely have to, wear the ones on the left. If you can, look around a bit more. There's nothing wrong with lookig good.

 

[swoosh_stang]

I like the shoe Txyloo posted.

I agree that you shouldn't wear a square toed shoe.
