Men's Style Guide

Where are you during the week? Whether working remotely at a coffee shop, braving the office jungle or hitting the streets in search of the best takeout, the daily grind that is the week has you shapeshifting onto the next thing but the bigger question is for every moment and location change, who are you? When it comes to your footwear, we break down the man you morph into all seven days of the week. Buckle up, he’s a big dog.

You’ve never been much for a sob story and Monday feels like a fresh start–a clean slate to start the week and bust open the doors of possibility. You crave action and it comes in the form of a cool and aggressive pair of Golden Goose sneakers. This style has the brand’s traditional scuffing and a statement, postage stamp print because you are going places (next stop, corner office).

It’s a steady space where you hit your stride so it’s fitting a pair of iconic ZEGNA Triple Stitch sneakers infuse a polished professionalism into a casual silhouette. Lightweight, flexible and with a slip-on design, this option is made for the man in back to back meetings. This blue suede number speaks volumes about your style intuition.

The work flow has a fast and hurried pace and you’re (desperately) riding the current. It's the week’s midpoint and you need to stay strapped in. Reaching for a John Lobb shoe adds an elegant visual that gives this midweek spot a special feeling. This brown suede loafer has a comfortable unlined construction and decorative hand stitched details that act as a touchpoint and reminder of how valued and important you are. It tethers you to a storied shoe that has a long history that fought hard to stay current–and who doesn’t love a success story? 

The weekend is an idea we can safely flirt with. It feels like someone has propped open the door to freedom and we are peeking in. Stay on your A game, keep poised and remain comfortable with these Thom Browne trainers that talk a big talk with a wealthy heritage academia vibe. Tweed demands respect and this choice tells everyone you call the shots and feel like wearing suiting details on your feet. Stay toxic–er, we mean sartorial.

There’s a sigh of relief as the mood changes from spreadsheets to silk sheets and you can channel the guy you’ve been holding off all week. A way to commemorate the occasion is with a sexy leather Chelsea boot from Di Bianco. A trusted staple, this style has character and is a sleek and handsome option that exudes sophisticated masculinity.

A shining jewel in the week’s string of days, it’s here where we find freedom and cause a ruckus. It’s about saying yes to all the invites, plans and impromptu road trips. We wholeheartedly signed up for it all which means we need a shoe that can go the extra mile (from brunch to catching a movie and brushing up on your whiskey tasting knowledge). You are the architect of a good time and it starts with these black leather sneakers. They’re unpretentious yet can seal the deal and for a lot of dudes, black is the uniform that feels primal, dripping in sex appeal.

(and we say that while letting out a poetic little sigh…). Now is the time to wind down and keep space for your health and happiness. Touch grass (literally) with these chocolate brown Salomon shoes that are built for running, outdoor activities and have blown up when it comes to street culture fashions (it wins the award recently for most name-dropped style). Bottom line: it’s Sunday, find a trail, romanticize the walk.
