<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Off-White Arrows-logo print tote bag</h3>



The popular streetwear brand Off-White is known for its bags with its iconic arrows logo and for this particular tote bag, the luxury fashion brand went a step further by designing a bag with a fun chequered pattern using black arrow monograms. Thanks to the rosy-brown background the arrow motifs look elevated.

Beach Ready: The 6 Best Beach Bags For Your Summer Essentials

Forget about sombre cuts and monotonous colour palettes. With the onset of the Spring / Summer season, the world’s leading labels have embraced freedom and hope by presenting dazzling hues, patterns and textures. From oversized Bermuda shorts and surfer tees to tailored summer suits and bright blazers, they leave no style unexplored in sumptuous SS22 men’s collections…
Balenciaga
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65627" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Balenciaga-e1649564267618.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Balenciaga" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Balenciaga-e1649564267618.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Balenciaga-e1649564267618-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Under the creative direction of Demna Gvasalia, the SS22 line delves into the tradition of fashionable experimentation that characterised the clothes of house founder Cristóbal Balenciaga. Merging the worlds of streetwear and high fashion, and unbridled by industry conventions, Gvasalia reconfigures the label’s archival pieces with exaggerated silhouettes, asymmetric cuts and bold colorways for a relaxed yet undeniably dapper style.
Berluti
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65628" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Berluti-e1649564368352.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Berluti" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Berluti-e1649564368352.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Berluti-e1649564368352-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Seamlessly blending high fashion and beach chic, Berluti serves up a riotously colourful collection that fully embraces the joy of summer. Think relaxed denim shorts and capris, bright orange and blue Hawaiian shirts with matching shorts, and oversized beige totes. The brand’s Scritto motif – reminiscent of map calligraphy – has been enlarged and interwoven, then emblazoned across various pieces throughout this collection.
Bottega Veneta
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65629" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Bottega-Veneta-e1649564470391.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Bottega Veneta" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Bottega-Veneta-e1649564470391.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Bottega-Veneta-e1649564470391-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Utilitarian uniforms and relaxed sportswear have been given an experimental finish in Bottega Veneta’s latest seasonal collection. Exploring an array of dynamic textures and fabrics, an otherwise subtle monochromatic motif has been enlivened by eye-catching metallic sheens, exaggerated lines and voluminous silhouettes that not only underscore a striking techno-chic appeal, but add a fresh effervescent flair to the assemblage.
Dolce &amp; Gabbana
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65630" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Dolce-Gabbana-e1649564502783.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Dolce &amp; Gabbana" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Dolce-Gabbana-e1649564502783.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Dolce-Gabbana-e1649564502783-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Few haute-couture labels embrace euphoric colour quite like Dolce &amp; Gabbana – and their latest seasonal line is no exception. Inspired by Italy’s ‘luminarie’ light shows, crystal-embellished ensembles vie with a multihued gem-studded suit and crystal-anointed blazers for attention. “Light is good therapy for this moment. Now we need to see light, joy and happiness in the eyes of people,” explains Stefano Gabbana.
Ermenegildo Zegna
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65631" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Ermenegildo-Zegna-e1649564527348.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Ermenegildo Zegna" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Ermenegildo-Zegna-e1649564527348.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Ermenegildo-Zegna-e1649564527348-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Relaxed and casual yet resplendent with excellent tailoring, Ermenegildo Zegna serves up comfortable garments that breathe easy through warmer climes and styles fashionable enough for any occasion. From board shorts and Hawaiian T-shirts to loafers and khaki suits, the house’s spring creations bestow fun, free, cool and chic that are as at home on the beach or in the wilderness as they are indoors.
Etro
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65642" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-e1649564656689.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-etro-gafencu" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-e1649564656689.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-e1649564656689-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Harkening back to the Flower Power era of the ’60s, Etro’s SS22 offerings are awash with kaleidoscopic patterns, dazzling neon hues and flowing silhouettes. The more casual pieces, which range from sheer shirts and baggy trousers to open-chested patterned vests, slouch in sharp contrast to the more upstanding formal apparel – think sharply tailored suits in fluorescent colours paired with printed, deep-cut waistcoats.
Fendi
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65632" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Fendi-e1649564705310.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Fendi" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Fendi-e1649564705310.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Fendi-e1649564705310-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
There’s no denying that the latest men’s catwalk at Fendi was a study in juxtaposition: structured blazers paired with cropped Bermuda shorts; full-sleeved bomber jackets cropped below the chest for a midriff-baring finish; and formalwear accented with open-toed sandals. Eschewing the traditional tenets of masculine tailoring, the result is a playful experiment on new traditions that spell young and fun.
Giorgio Armani
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65633" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Giorgio-Armani-e1649564737347.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Giorgio Armani" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Giorgio-Armani-e1649564737347.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Giorgio-Armani-e1649564737347-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
The classic tailoring skills that have made this Italian label beloved the world over is in sharp evidence this season, albeit with a more relaxed finish. In place of the structured suits and rigid forms that typified the Giorgio Armani Autumn / Winter line, this latest collection serves up sleek silk shirts, flared trousers and subdued, monochromatic jackets that are perfect fits for the temperamental , ever-changing climes of spring.
Givenchy
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65634" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Givenchy-e1649564796902.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Givenchy" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Givenchy-e1649564796902.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Givenchy-e1649564796902-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Androgyny is a central theme for Givenchy’s SS22 collection, with traditionally female forms and accoutrements gracing the masculine models on its catwalk. Dominating proceedings are the plethora of colourful leggings – printed or monochromatic in a kaleidoscope of colours – that are more often favoured by women on the go. Vibrant, ripped shirts, printed hoodies and a fringed cowl round out this innovative line.

Did someone say ‘costume party’? Embracing an atmosphere of lively experimentation, Gucci draws from an array of disparate sources for its Spring / Summer apparel. Looking for cowboy chic? You got it. Disco glam? It’s there. Fun formalwear? You bet. From magician-inspired suits to ’60s-style flared trousers and oversized sunglasses, this spirited collection spares no pattern, fabric or colour – especially if you’re looking towards more ecclectic ensembles.

Layering is the name of the game for Hermès this season, with the French luxury maison taking a casual approach to the mix-and-match trend. Capri pants, relaxed shorts and flowing trousers are paired, in turn, with everything from more subdued tops and unbuttoned shirts to a bright yellow printed shirt and an ombré top-and-sweater set. All are comfortably casual without skimping on an iota of style.
Louis Vuitton
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65637" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Louis-Vuitton-e1649565174412.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Louis Vuitton" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Louis-Vuitton-e1649565174412.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Louis-Vuitton-e1649565174412-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Louis Vuitton’s new SS22 collection for men is, to put it mildly, an avant-garde affair. An all-white outfit with a beret, ear muffs and baseball mitt-like gloves? Check. A bunny-eared hat, a pair of leather pleated shorts and baseball cleats? Check. An all-pink pimp-like get-up with an exaggerated top hat and puffy coat? Check and check. Outrageously wild and strikingly show-stopping, every ensemble is a talking point.
Prada
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65638" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Prada-e1649565214372.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Prada" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Prada-e1649565214372.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Prada-e1649565214372-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Nothing screams summer quite like short shorts, and Prada’s Spring / Summer line is positively brimming with them. Styled underneath a series of oversized shirts, patterned sweaters, open blazers and sleeveless tops, whether these pairings serve to embellish or shroud these abridged designs, its undeniably eye-catching sartorial numbers offer a teasingly delightful peek-a-boo experience for wearer and viewer alike.
Saint Laurent
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65639" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Saint-Laurent-e1649565393228.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Saint Laurent" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Saint-Laurent-e1649565393228.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Saint-Laurent-e1649565393228-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Gothic glam and the outré collide in spectacular fashion at Saint Laurent this season. At the darker end of the spectrum, the all-black combo of a hat, a loose, sheer shirt, and a pair of skinny trousers takes a star turn, calling to mind a scarecrow’s silhouette. Then, at the opposite extreme, there are fluorescent suits, a rainbow-coloured jacket, and even an open-chested yellow cape-shirt paired with tight jeans and high-heeled boots.
Salvatore Ferragamo
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65640" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Salvatore-Ferragamo-e1649565361986.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Salvatore Ferragamo" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Salvatore-Ferragamo-e1649565361986.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Salvatore-Ferragamo-e1649565361986-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Skin-baring styles line up to pair alongside more tempered, traditional masculine tailoring in Salvatore Ferragamo’s SS22 men’s runway collection. Staider options – collared shirts paired with flared shorts, a yellow top over black slacks – do, however, take something of a back seat to more unconventional garb, such as sheer tops, a flowing cowl-like number, and an attention-grabbing tiger-print jacket.
Valentino
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65641" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Valentino-e1649565419508.jpg" alt="men's spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style gafencu Valentino" width="458" height="600" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Valentino-e1649565419508.jpg 458w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/mens-spring-summer-runway-fashion-trend-style-gafencu-Valentino-e1649565419508-200x262.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px" /> 
Offbeat and experimental, Valentino’s SS22 offerings push the boundaries of the traditional masculine figure. In one instance, this sees a sheer, striped shirt with flared sleeves worn with both a skirt and shorts simultaneously. In another, a purple blazer and a blue buttoned shirt are paired with a maroon shorts/leggings combo. This skilled layering of disparate garments and fabrics, though somewhat disconcerting upon first viewing, settles into a comfortingly familiar refrain.

Glitter and Sequins: Our top picks for New Year’s Eve dresses

Before summer well and truly gives way to chilly autumns, there&#8217;s still&nbsp; an window of opportunity to sport that ultimate timeless print – the polka dot. A favourite among celebrities and lesser mortals alike, the polka dots channel a bit of old-world charm that has never truly gone out of fashion, neither on the fashion runways nor on the high-street boutiques. Here are some of the polka-dotted best looks&#8230;

Spotted fashion: A throwback to the good ol’ polka dots

As any fashionista would vouch for, scarves are the true chameleon among accessories. Made iconic by yesteryear Tinseltown divas like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, this most versatile of accessories seems to have stood the test of time and fickle fashion trends much better than others.
<figure id="attachment_38279" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-38279" style="width: 700px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-38279" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/700x466-11.jpg" alt="scarves" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/700x466-11.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/700x466-11-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/700x466-11-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/700x466-11-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/700x466-11-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/700x466-11-400x266.jpg 400w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/700x466-11-600x399.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-38279" class="wp-caption-text">Audrey Hepburn immortalised the humble scarf for posterity.

Inevitably adding to its appeal is the fact that scarves are truly for all seasons – whether you wrap a cashmere one around your neck during winters or throw a sheer chiffon one over your dress for a summer’s day date. Bestowed with a beguiling versatility, a scarf can glam up an otherwise plain dress or can even act as a sarong on a beach day. Even the dapper gentlemen are not blind to the allure of this humble piece of clothing, with everyone from football star Cristiano Ronaldo to silver-screen heartthrobs like Johnny Depp and Benedict Cumberbatch jauntily sporting the scarf. Not surprisingly then, for the Fall Winter 2018 season, the runways have been awash with this particular accessory, with each brand trying to beat the next in the game of one-upmanship with a plethora of unique styles and combinations, highlighting the scarf. Check out the gallery below for the best scarf looks from this season.

P.S. Just one secret tip from the fashion pundits – lose the infinity scarf already, before it is winter.

Silver Lining: Gafencu’s tips to shine brighter this fall

Putting your best foot forward in either your business or personal life is the key to success and, these days, beautiful footwear isn’t something solely reserved for the ladies. Gentlemen, too, are free to try on several pairs of nigh-perfect must-have luxury shoes in order to keep in step with the latest trends.
The truth is that modern society feeds off the aesthetic. The better dressed you are, the better treatment, service and respect you’ll command from everyone you encounter. Even though this might, at first glance, seem a little superficial, it has been the way of the world for centuries. Long ago, only royalty and the aristocracy could afford the very latest in fashionable footwear. Today, with a little hard work and a following wind, every man can enjoy the finer things in life.

It was Mark Twain who once famously said: “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.” And this has never been truer. Dressing to impress, though, isn’t just about the clothes you wear. It’s also about the footwear you favour.
Indeed, a great pair of shoes can make your outfit really pop. In short, they can take an ordinary look and make it extraordinary. Beyond this, though, they empower you as a person. It was perhaps put best by Christian Louboutin, the shoemaker best known for his iconic red soles, when he said: “Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lif t you physically and emotionally.”
Buying just the right luxury shoes, though, requires a great deal of homework. Beyond jus t being an expression of your personal taste and status, they are the only things in your wardrobe that absolutely have to be supremely comfortable. After all, who would really wish to walk a million miles in someone else’s shoes if blisters appeared after the first five?

Of course, many people will already be familiar with the big names in fashion footwear – the Gucci’s and the Prada’s. There are, however, many other luxury brands that make excellent and – dare it be said? – even more desirable ways to shod yourself. With a little bit of research, you can find some amazing shoes from famous designers that will put you firmly one step ahead of the crowd.
John Lobb is a British company with a long history of hand-crafting high quality men’s shoes. Striding ahead of the competition for 170 years, the company has become the goto luxury shoe brand for many of the world’s most discerning men. The brand’s client list features a host of past and present A-listers, including Frank Sinatra, Aristotle Onassis and Prince Charles.

&#8220;Dressing to impress, isn’t just about the clothes you wear. It’s about the footwear you favour&#8221;
All of their shoes are bespoke designs and all are handmade to custom specifications. The company’s 2016 Autumn/Winter collection is so toe-tantalising that it’s hard to pick out just one pair for your delectation. Its Desert Boots, though, are just beautiful and so versatile that they could easily become a staple of anybody’s wardrobe.
Wear them on casual days with jeans and a tee or dress them up for an edgier look with some slim fit trousers and a tailored shirt. Their deep brown hue will literally go with every color and they’re built to last, meaning you’ll get good use from them for years to come. Priced at just under US$500, you might just be tempted to buy them in pretty much every available colour.
If you’re planning a summer getaway to a swanky European resort this year, then you’ll need something stylish to slip into after you’ve sloshed out of the pool. In that case, Tod’s new Suede Slipons are sure to provide you with buckets of comfort and spades of Club Tropicana cool.
Perfect for those who love to lounge around the pool watching the world go by, these slip-ons provide for a truly laid-back look. Available in an assortment of colours, they can easily be matched with even the most outré of summer wardrobes. The range boasts super-comfortable elastic side panels and come stamped with the designer’s iconic monogram.
The handcrafted woven rope trim on the bottom of the slip-ons give them a more casual feel, while Tod’s iconic rubber outsole – complete with embossed pebbles – will remind everyone that you do indeed know your fashion. Overall, they’re a welcome variation on Tod’s iconic driving shoes, and a more modern version of the classic Espadrille, only with a far more masculine vibe than George Michael could have ever hoped pull off.
Any true gentleman’s shoe collection should always include at least one sturdy pair of boots, indispensable when it comes to handling life’s more unexpected adventures. It could be that Church’s Caldecott boot is just what you need. The world famous shoemaker is well known for its high quality footwear, its expert craftsmanship and its attention to detail.
Such boots will certainly give your wardrobe a chic edge with their ruggedly refined suede or leather looks and classic brogue detailing. By hijacking the style of an Oxford shoe and reinventing it in a boot form, Church has created a timeless traditional finish, giving you the best of two looks in one shoe. Their rounded toes and chunky low heels make them comfortable to wear, while they remain versatile enough to meet any challenge – from office power games to partying into the wee small hours.

&#8220;A true gentleman’s shoe collection should always include at least one sturdy pair of boots&#8221;
For a more relaxed look, of course, there is always Saint Laurent’s range of Paris sneakers. Under the creative direction of Hedi Slimane, the brand’s Head Coach, the renowned Parisian fashion house is now soaring to new heights.
The brand has now redefined the luxury sneaker market with its range of low and high-top sneakers, all available in a variety of colours. Its SL/10H Signature Court Classic High Top Sneaker in black and red leather, though, remains the star player in its squad.
Should you wish to slam-dunk your style credentials and be the envy of your homies, A true gentleman’s shoe collection should always include at least one sturdy pair of boots this high-top sneaker sports the signature Saint Laurent embossed, padded ankle, wide-side stripe and contrasting coloured sole for that big statement look. If red isn’t your colour, you can opt for blue or black. And, if a high top is too big a jump, you could always go with the low top version in the same colour combo.
Wearing them is simple, as sneakers go with just about everything you already own. Dress them up with some formal jeans, a button-down shirt and a blazer or wear them with casual clothes on a sunny Saturday outing for that laid-back, yet luxuriant, look.
Who would have thought that Michael Jackson’s legendary loafers, the shoes that powered his groundbreaking Moonwalk, owed a huge debt of thanks to Norwegian Farmers? In fact, all modern loafers are derived from the style of traditional Norwegian moccasins, a design conceit was first spotted and popularised by American Esquire magazine in the 1930s.
As Jacko himself once said, if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change… possibly into a pair of Berluti Andy Leather Loafers. In its trademark Tobacco colour, an intoxicating mix of brown and tan, these loafers positively embody comfort and elegance.

Berluti specializes in menswear, blending expertise with tradition and modernity, with its Andy Loafers proving a fusion of all three. The brand was founded in Paris in 1895 and, today, it is owned by the LVMH group. Led by Creative Director, Alessandro Satori, the fashion house has continued to create coveted, readyto- wear pieces for the sartorially astute gentlemen.
A case in point, the Andy loafer is made in Italy and features hand-stitching around the top of the shoe, with a traditional stacked f lat heel and apron toe completing that classic loafer look. The strap across the vamp and leather lining further underline t he br a nd’s c ommi tment t o craftsmanship. Even at US$2,130 a pair, they make a fine addition to your wardrobe and one you’ll never regret.
If you simply have to have footwear as singular and memorable as your high performance luxury car, then take a look at Salvatore Ferragamo’s Custom Parigi Driving Shoes. These Parigi pedal pushers are 100 percent bespoke, entirely made to your own specifications.
Salvatore Ferragamo is, of course, a staple of the menswear fashion world. A native of Naples, in 1927, Ferragamo moved to California to become a shoemaker, founding a hugely reputable brand in the process. Today, the company is still familyowned and has branched out into handbags, fragrances and women’s shoes, as well as retaining its specialism in menswear.
 Its made-to-order driving shoes are sexy, practical and available in a myriad of materials and colour choices. A bit like specifying a new Bentley to your own taste, everything on the shoe is fully customisable, right down to the colour of the metallic hardware.
You can choose from either suede, calfskin leather, crocodile or full-quill ostrich. With 14 different color options, ranging from classic black or tan to bold red and green, you can choose an option that will best match your beloved automobile. Hardware colors include palladio (a dark grey/ taupe), light palladio (a lighter gray) and bright gold, allowing you to mix and match to your heart’s desire. Each driving shoe is hand-cut, hand-stitched and handmade by Italian craftsmen, so you’ll own a shoe wholly like no-one else’s. The Parigi also features a rubber sole and heel guard for added comfort, as well as precision control at the heel. Depending on how you customize them, each pair can cost anything from US$750 all the way up to US$2,400.
And there you have it. A few luxury footwear choices that will up your style game and impress the world. Now all that’s left to do is to find your sole trader of choice.
