Splurge - Fall Shoes

For fall I always look for a dress sneaker, a casual sneaker, a boot, and a loafer/driving shoe. This season presents a perfect option for each one of these categories. It's clear that they are all very expensive shoes, but there is something about a great shoe that is hard to find. My shoe needs to compliment everything in my closet while retaining it's own voice and standing out so that I get some bang for my buck. Here, I present my picks for Fall in every category. Splurge.

Dress Sneaker: Trussardi 1911 High-Top Sneaker - $526

This Trussardi high top is classic and stylish. The plaid works perfectly with the black leather, and the white laces and sole lighten it all up and provide a nice contrast. This shoe would look great with a pair of dress pants or some skinny dark jeans and a dress shirt.

Casual Sneaker: Common Projects Zip-Up Sneaker - $385

The zip is a cool detail and the two tone gives it a little edge. On the other hand, white and grey go with everything and their design durability ensures that these sneakers will only look better with wear.

Boot: Sorel Caribou x colette Snow Boot - $322

Sorel Caribou make the classic snow boot. Through their collaboration with colette, they have updated the boot into something that will look classic with any winter look, while still delivering pop by way of the neon laces.

Loafer/ Driving Shoe: Tod's Moccasin - $425

Tod's make, hands down, my favorite driving shoe loafer. I would probably go with the grey for everyday wear, but the red and green could definitely be a chic statement.

Trussardi 1911 - Spring 2011 - Review

The Trussardi man is incredibly chic as evident by Milan Vukmirovic's collection for the famed house's spring 2011 menswear showing. Though some of the pieces may scare off a more conservative customer (see cheetah print jacket), it seems that word "conservative" is not in the Trussardi man's lexicon anyway.

The cropped, slender pants and shorts tell us that he is youthful, while the forward prints and interesting fabrics leave no doubt that he is confident, and above all, fashionable. Many of the looks are paired with sharp bag and eye catching shoes that would expertly accompany any outfit, weather it be from the Trussardi collection or another one entirely.

In its own way, each garment is a statement, and while not for everyone, those that can pull it off will always look great in head to toe Trussardi.
