5 Shoes Every Sharp Dressed Man Must Own | Best Dress Shoes For Men To Rebuild Shoe Collection
About this video
Centeno presents five essential shoes every stylish man should own in order of priority: the classic Oxford for formal occasions, the semi-brogue for versatility between casual and dressy settings, the loafer for business travel and casual wear, the dress boot (Chelsea or chucka) for additional versatility, and a variation of whichever shoe gets the most wear. He explains the design characteristics of each shoe and how to wear them across different settings.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues the classic Oxford with closed lacing and leather sole is the foundation shoe for any man’s wardrobe because it pairs with suits for important occasions like weddings and business meetings
- Centeno recommends the semi-brogue as a versatile alternative to the Oxford that can transition from casual jeans to casual suits due to its decorative leather work and lighter colors
- Centeno suggests the loafer, Chelsea boot, and chucka boot as practical options for business travelers and casual wear, emphasizing easy on-and-off for security lines and comfort for long distances
- Centeno advises choosing a fifth shoe based on personal wear patterns rather than a predetermined option—rotating a variation of whichever shoe style gets the most use
