MEN'S FASHION: SUMMER SHOES

Hi all!!

Men's fashion has taken a new turn and has become more interesting than it ever was. And now that the weather is much, much warmer than usual, it is a good time to get more adventurous not only with your clothes but with your shoes as well.

Loafers are huge this time round. They are available in all sorts of fabric from leather and suede to khaki and even artificial leather. Loafers are best worn when one is going for a smart casual look particularly over the weekends for those of you who have a formal dress code during the week. Loafers can be worn with denim trousers or even khaki and cotton ones. They look best when worn with slim fit trousers which will keep the proportions just right.

Where can one buy loafers? I have seen a wide variety in Ngara. If you want custom made ones these are also available. I know of one guy who makes these shoes with ankara/kitenge fabric and they look amazing. You can contact him on his Facebook page for more details on how to place your orders.

Boat shoes are another option of summer shoes. Boat shoes, like loafers are best worn for a smart casual look. Wearing them with your regular trousers and an un-tucked shirt will keep you looking smart and leave you feeling cooler in this blistering heat. They are available in a variety of colors to match whichever shirt and trousers combination you may have in mind.

Like loafers, these can be bought in Ngara.

Let me know what you think of the post.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Friday and have a fantastic weekend!!

My Style: Mad About Denim

I feel like I have put up soo many denim-related outfits of late but that's because I live in jeans. I can't help it. Let's talk about these particular jeans. They are high-waisted and have a zip that runs half-way up the calf and the fact that they stretch a little really adds to their charm. I paired them with a blue multi-layered top which I found to be so cute and feminine and topped it all off with my striped blue blazer. I love the cropped style and fit of this blazer. It instantly smartens up any outfit that I pair it with. For shoes, I opted for my grey sneakers which I first appeared on the blog here . Pops of red, in the form of lipstick and a necklace, added some more colour and brightness to the outfit.

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Audrey. Welcome to Inches To Style☺ How it started I fell in love with fashion at an early age. In fact, I wanted to be a model and when I realised that I wouldn’t make the cut because of my height, I decided that I would become a fashion designer. I’d been making clothes for my dolls for years so I knew that was a career path I would love to pursue. I didn’t study fashion nor did I become a fashion designer but my love for clothes and putting outfits together stuck with me. On September 12, 2011 I wrote my first blog post, after I discovered the world of fashion blogs and got hooked. I thought to myself, “I can do this! I like writing and I like fashion, so why not?” And so Inches To Style was born. What to expect from the blog At first, I wanted this blog to be a source of inspiration for anyone looking to up their style game. As time progressed and my personal style and lifestyle has evolved, I found the name of my blog quite fitting as I’m moving inches (closer) ...

HOW TO: Wear A Pencil Skirt | With a T-Shirt and Statement Necklace

Hello lovelies! My quest to learn how to style a pencil skirt continues. I was selling this skirt ( on Botique i2s ) some time ago but I didn't get someone to buy it. So I added it to my arsenal. I have worn it twice since. I previously paired it with a white button down shirt. For last Sunday's Church outfit, I wore it with a chocolate brown t-shirt and added a statement necklace to dress up the outfit a little. My tan brown wedges have finally made a reappearance on the blog. A lime green and brown turban completed the outfit. Outfit Details: Skirt: Botique i2s T-Shirt: India Wedges: Bus Station Necklace: bought from a friend Head-wrap: India I must say that I prefer this combination of colours more than with the white shirt. What do you think of it? How would you have worn this skirt? Have you checked out my online store yet?
