Moccasins, originally considered exclusively footwear for the indigenous population of America, have long lost their ethnic style and today are one of the most popular footwear options for everyday wear among both men and women. A couple of seasons ago, moccasins skyrocketed in the men's fashion industry, and today it is difficult to find a man who does not have such shoes in his wardrobe. Read on to find out which men's moccasins will be worn in 2019.
Men's moccasins 2019: fashion trends
The fashion for moccasins this year generally follows the main trends of previous seasons. Classics, natural shades and minimal heel sizes are still popular. Rhinestones and studs also remain in fashion and are appropriate even at business meetings and festive events. It is worth paying attention to This season's innovation is a combination of bright colors, flashy and neon shades and the return of the ethnic theme, which is clearly expressed in the decorative features.
Materials
Classic moccasins are maximum use of natural materials or those close to them. Suede and soft leather are still in fashion. Fashionistas can without fear give preference to more radical options for these shoes, for example, a glossy finish or hard, dense leather.
Shades and prints
In the workspace, it would be appropriate to give preference to calm and as natural colors as possible - all shades of brown and muted orange. Any shades will look relevant, even non-standard ones, but in a less bright version of themselves. It can be:
- light green or dark green;
- blue;
- black;
- Dark red;
- light pink.
Important! Bright options such as bright red are still in fashion, especially when combined with studs and rhinestones.
A distinctive feature of this season is the use of “acid” colors uncharacteristic of moccasins – neon green, orange, yellow. Such options require a minimum of decor and minimalism in design - a simple form without embroidery and decorative elements will look simple and stylish.
Decoration
As in previous fashion seasons, they still remain on the stage elements uncharacteristic for a men's suit. This includes an abundance of rhinestones, sequins, and the “nose” of the shoe densely packed with spikes.
There is also good news for lovers of calmer decor. Ethnic style is back in fashion, so fringe, simple embroidery, and coarse beads in natural colors will decorate moccasins well. Fringe and tassels made of the same material from which the shoes are made - for example, suede - will decorate the boots well and will be an excellent addition even to a work suit.
Heel, sole
Classic moccasins are thin-soled shoes with a minimal heel. The highest heel height you can afford in these shoes is 3.5 cm, no more. This season this trend is not changing, for this reason it is worth abandoning the use of moccasins as shoes for walking on unpaved streets and forest paths. Today, moccasins without a pronounced heel, which simply “merges” with the rest of the sole, look more relaxed and relevant today.
Moccasins are an indispensable option for men who prefer a casual style, but they will be an excellent addition to a business suit and even shorts. With moccasins, any look will look stylish, unusual and more relaxed. Thanks to the variety of colors and possible decor this season, you can, with peace of mind, give in to the freedom of your imagination and boldly express yourself in choosing shoes - any option will be appropriate and fashionable.
