Not all men get married in a classic tuxedo and black shoes. Some grooms actively follow fashion trends and want their wedding look to not only be stylish and trendy but also timeless. We’ve scoured the fashion world to find the 10 most fashion-forward men's footwear options for a wedding. And all of them can be bought online!
Unusual toe
Unlike classic examples, modern designs and shoe shapes can make any outfit memorable. You can choose a square toe, the famous Tabi, and other options that have recently been spotted in the biggest fashion shows of the season. Pay attention to more than just how the shoes look, but also how they feel. Wedding shoes need to be comfortable!
MARTINE ROSE Off-White Square Toe Loafers, $576
MAISON MARGIELA Black Patent Tassel Tabi Loafers, $766
Alternative wedding shoes
If you don't like loafers or lace-up shoes, choose an everyday-style shoe for your wedding. Splurge on yourself and buy a more expensive, limited edition style. It may be sneakers, sandals, boat shoes, mules, boots, or even luxury brand slippers.
FENDI Beige Nubuck 'FF' Loafers, $715
JW ANDERSON SSENSE Exclusive Black Chain Loafers, $535
Unusual material
Now more than ever, shoes made from non-standard materials are popular. Everything is used: wool, fur, silk, satin, rubber, patterned leather. Follow your instincts and break stereotypes by wearing what you like at your wedding.
CAMPER LAB 1978 cow-print loafers, $171
MARNI shearling slip-on mules, $850
Retro monkstraps
These modern shoes are slightly different from the classic models in shape and material. Retro monks look a little childish, but for real fashionistas this is only a plus. Add wide trousers and an oversized shirt and the look will sparkle in a new way.
HED MAYNER Black Monk Shoe, $522
ERNEST W. BAKER Brown Platform Monkstraps, $291
Bright color and print
Wearing bright shoes is not particularly shocking in everyday life, but at a wedding? Since the usual wedding look for the groom normally features classic black shoes, opting for bright colors is an exciting way to modernize your wedding outfit.
