From Shoes To Shirt - Build YOUR Outfit From The Feet Up (In 5 Steps!)
About this video
Centeno demonstrates how to build complete outfits by starting with shoes and working upward, showcasing five different shoe styles—wholecuts, double monks, chelsea boots, sneakers, and dress boots—paired with various suit types and casual wear to illustrate formality levels and color coordination principles.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that building outfits from shoes up allows you to showcase footwear choices rather than forcing shoes to match existing clothes
- Centeno recommends considering shoe formality and color when pairing with suits and casual wear; some styles like wholecuts are better suited to dressier occasions while others like double monks offer versatility across formality levels
- Centeno emphasizes that color combinations like burgundy with green or brown with medium blue can work confidently if executed deliberately, and that texture variations in shoe materials can shift an outfit’s overall formality
