- One Shoe You Need To Try This Fall

Shoes John Varvatos Every man should have a great pair of brown dress shoes and an equally fine pair of black dress shoes. That's easy. If you want to try something a bit different this fall, try a sleek grey. Shoes are one accessory that all men must own and they can really differentiate your style. Let's face it, there isn't a whole lot of clothing options for men...you are pretty much wearing a button-up, t-shirt, sweater or jacket. With shoes, you can definitely add your distinct style and flair to any ordinary shirt and give it that unexpected twist. Look for shoes with either unique details in the style and traditional color or go with a classic style in a unique color. Venture out and try a grey shoes in any style from a dress shoe to a tennis shoe like the Grey Converse by John Varvatos one shown here!

- Give Fall the Boot

Boots are this season’s must have and you wouldn’t dare live without! Not only do boots keep your tootsies warm into winter, men can look stylish without trying too hard!

The truth is, you can wear almost any style and be right in sync! Regardless of the style, you'll see a lot of boots with buckles, suede and other details to make them unique! Here's a few worth trying!

Rugged & Casual: Just how women like to see their men! Men’s boots have that tough, no messing around look! Pair with a t-shirt or a soft casual button-up and wear these boots just about everywhere you go this fall! (Bed Stu Romel)

Chukka Boots: These ankle length boots have 2 or 3 eyelet holes for laces and typically come in a suede or calf-skin. Don't let the suede fool you into thinking you can only wear these on a hot date. The casual look of these boots goes just about anywhere too! (RJ Colt)

Western/Biker Boots: Guys have been wearing cowboy boots and biker boots forever. This fall’s look is a little more styled out for that guy who wants to add some edge. Mark Nason shoes are known for their stylish detail. Be careful to watch the proportion on the toe bed. While every guy wants to have big feet, if you are on the shorter side, a pair of Nason's with a large toe-bed may make you lose a couple inches off the top (aka-you'll look even shorter)! (Mark Nason)

Dress Boots: Boots aren’t just for casual wear. You can really make an impression and still feel comfortable in the winter months with a pair of dressy ankle boots. Keep the style simple, sleek and smooth. No extra frills with these! (Mezlan)

- Give Fall the Boot!

Boots are this season’s must have and you wouldn’t dare live without! Not only do boots keep your tootsies warm into winter, you can easily create an eye catching look by pairing them with everything from t-shirts to dresses!

Boots are so big this fall that I had to narrow down the styles that I could cover in this little blog. The truth is, you can wear almost any style and be right in sync! Regardless of the style, you'll see a lot of boots with buckles, suede and roll-over tops, just a few details to make them unique! Here a few worth trying!!

Women's

Ankle Booties: A trend we saw last fall is here to stay! This is one of those shoes that may not be for everyone. Pair these with skinny jeans or a dress with tights. It plays out best on people with little feet and proportionate bodies. Done incorrectly and you can wind up looking like a holiday elf! (Not Rated)

Over the Knee Boots: I’m still a little nervous to see how these play out in realty! On the runway with models who have 10 inch round legs that are 10 feet long, they can be quite appealing. The key is to create a sleek legging-like look. If you are worried that you’ll look more trampy than trendy – avoid a lot of embellishments like studs or any sort of bling. These leggy fashion boots are showy enough, so keep them simple. (Joie)

Cowboy Boots/Biker Boots: Although these aren’t at all the same type of boot, I paired them together because both are boots that require a certain personality or attitude to look right. Wear either boot with confidence and only if they feel like you. Opt for ones that are lighter in appearance and weight to keep them from looking overwhelming or making you feel like you gained a few. Choose a style that has some feminine flair to it. If you want to try either out for style and don’t see yourself as a biker or a cowboy in the future, buy these boots on sale or at a discount store. (Steve Madden)

Slouchy Boots: With all the 80’s hype in clothing and accessories, these boots easily stroll right into the mix! Wear your slouchy boots with skinny jeans, tights or even a full skirt! You need contrast to make them stand out. I love slouchy boots in grey suede or any soft neutral color. These are flats so you'd almost imagine them to feel like modern-day super-hero slippers! (Steve Madden)
