The Most Important Rule of Matching

Matching is no easy task for a lot of men, but there’s one rule that should always be followed: your shoes and belt. Whether it’s a day in the office or a day at a wedding, you’ll look your sharpest with a pair of shoes and a belt that work together.

Materials Matter

There’s more to matching your belt and shoes than having the right colors. You also need to match the materials. No matter what material your shoes are, make sure your wardrobe is equipped with a belt to match. That means leather with leather or suede with suede.

A lot of shoes are made with more than a single material. Some even have metal. For instance, a pair of double monkstraps is going to be equipped with silver or gold buckles. That calls for the metal on your belt to match the buckles on your shoes. If not, you won’t be your sharpest self.


From color to fit, your style is all you. Just make sure to match your shoes to your belt. As for socks, have some fun. Feel free to let your personality shine.
