How to Change the Look of Your Shoes with Shoelaces - Gentleman's Gazette - Fort Belvedere

About this video

The Gazette team demonstrates how changing shoelaces can transform the appearance of shoes and entire outfits without purchasing new footwear. They teach the principles of color contrast and coordination, provide specific recommendations for pairing shoelaces with different shoe colors, and guide viewers on selecting quality lace materials for various shoe types.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that swapping shoelaces is an inexpensive, reversible way to create multiple outfit combinations by leveraging contrast and color coordination
• The Gazette team recommends matching shoelace colors to existing elements in your outfit—such as socks, ties, pocket squares, or cufflinks—rather than choosing laces first
• The Gazette team suggests investing in waxed cotton round or flat laces for dress shoes, and thicker, longer boot laces for footwear with more eyelets, and recommends matching evening shoelaces to bow tie materials for formal wear
