Rules for combining men's moccasins

Moccasins will look stylish in combination with classic jeans and shorts. Be sure to purchase linen items for such shoes.

These shoes are similar to moccasins, but come with a small heel.
With clothes made from what fabric?
If you purchased a model with decorative laces, it is recommended to opt for linen trousers. You can combine them with chinos made of light fabric. If there are pads on the tongue, then combine moccasins with denim clothing. If you choose classic jeans, be sure to roll them up. Cotton T-shirts go well with any model. But here it is important to pay attention to the color of the moccasins.
With or without socks?
Many men prefer to wear moccasins with socks, since it is not so comfortable to walk in shoes without them. But if you listen to the laws of fashion, then this combination has long been bad manners. They are most often worn on bare feet, combined with light trousers, breeches or shorts. A prerequisite is an open ankle.
