Mens moccasins 2019

Moccasins are a type of shoe whose native America is North America. It is the Indians who inhabited this continent who are credited with the idea of ​​creating such a shoe model. However, in traditional dresses in some northern peoples there is also something similar to moccasins.

The main feature of moccasins, which favorably distinguishes them - their simple design - the side walls and the sole are usually made of one piece of material, from above - from the fingers, covering the rise of the foot - another piece of material is sewn (oval insert). The upper seam, which fastens the side “sides” and the oval insert, is often carried out deliberately rough, with threads of contrasting colors, decorating shoes in a similar way. The advantages of moccasins were and still are the absence of a heavy sole, its flatness, the easy fit of a shoe, the possibility of combining materials. For example, it is often found to use a softer material for the upper part of the product and a more wear-resistant material for the side parts.

Becoming part of the fashionable wardrobe, moccasins appeared in both women's and men's wardrobe. The presence of flat soles left room for them only in a casual image and its variations in the beautiful half of humanity. In the male image, such shoes are much more common, and there are undoubtedly more moccasin models for men. The simple appearance and the presence of a comfortable sole made moccasins ideal for driving cars.

The diversity of male models of moccasins was promoted by their ubiquitous combination with clothing of a different stylistic direction.

It is traditionally considered that the heel is an exclusively female attribute. But this is a fallacy. Heel is different, and small (from one to two or even up to 3.5 cm) can be like women's and men's shoes. Initially, the moccasin design did not include any heel. But, often combined with an office suit, moccasins have undergone such a change.

The presence of the heel is combined with the clear form of the shoe itself, the severity of the lines and the corresponding color scheme. This appearance makes moccasins familiar to office everyday.

The models on laces are another common variant of moccasins, the most suitable option for everyday wear with casual clothes. Lacing, as a rule, is purely decorative. Usually frames the upper edge of the shoe, begins and ends on the rise of the foot, where variations with laces on the oval insert are possible. The presence of a white thick grooved sole on a similar model is a sign of the independent subspecies of moccasins, the topsiders.

The convenience and appearance of moccasins make them a good option for use as a quality home shoes. The models offered in this category are very diverse - there really is a following of the historical tradition of sewing moccasins of two or three pieces of fabric, when the sole and side details are one whole. Usually, homemade options have extremely soft or no soles; are made of velvet, suede.

Convenience in everyday wear contributed to the adaptation of moccasins and for sports. For this moccasins have got a strong sole. Sometimes the structural details of the top also change, and then we are talking about slips

The presence of tassels on a pair of shoes indicates that they belong to such a type of moccasins as loafers. In addition to the brush, on the rise of the foot may be a jumper.The presence of this detail makes them an interesting addition to the exits on a hike. However, this option is unlikely to be appropriate in the office, since it combines little with the business suit of a man.

Moccasins can be made both factory and made in a single copy. Hand-made is the trend of the last few seasons in shoe fashion. Handmade, they will definitely be exclusive - rarely when a master can perform two absolutely identical things. Handmade moccasins are made of soft materials, the sole is made of rubber, crepe, felt or leather. The disadvantages include perhaps the lack of support for the foot, but the design of these shoes does not imply its presence. Such moccasins will provide rest to the legs (if there is no need to walk a lot), since their presence on the legs, with the right size, is almost imperceptible. If the moccasins are made by hand under an individual order - the comfort of the wearer is guaranteed.

With the use of felt - in fact, varieties of textile material - many models are made, designed to be worn indoors. Such material will provide a man with warmth and softness.

At first glance, a somewhat romantic option for a strong half of humanity looks quite appropriate and interesting if the model is made of monophonic material (top) and a bow - a logical continuation of lacing on the upper edge of the shoe adjacent to the lifting of the foot.

Such unusual elements on moccasins refer to the aggressively sexy image of rock musicians. Thorns will add brutality to the man. It should, however, be remembered that shoes must fit the rest of the image. Such a somewhat rebellious item of clothing, of course, will be appropriate at the theme party, as well as at the walk; but it will be strange to appear on weekdays.

Models where perforation is a real find for a hot climate or just a warm (sometimes very) season. Such moccasins look businesslike and practical - they allow air to circulate inside the shoe, which means they help prevent excessive sweating of the foot. Therefore, observing the external color and style unity, such variants of moccasins can be very useful for summer “office” everyday life. There are a lot of perforation location options - starting with perforation options only on the top cover of moccasins or their front part as a whole, to absolutely “ventilated” options, when all the parts are “in the hole”.

If there was some kind of worldwide shoe competition, this model would receive its prize in the nomination “the most extravagant shoes”. What, however, does not negate its qualities as shoes - in contrast to the fantasy versions of absolutely non-wearable shoes (such as Italian chopino on a huge wedge or Japanese oko, again on a sloping platform, addressed to women).

Such moccasins, in fact, could be compared with earlier and now popular socks “with fingers” - when all five fingers have “their place”. The difference, of course, is in the material from which such moccasins are made and their length - it is, like all other moccasins, the maximum - at the base of the foot elevation or below, to the toes. These moccasins are offered by the manufacturer (Vibram, model FiveFingers) mainly as ideal shoes for sports. Various options for running, jumping. Such footwear enjoys the greatest popularity among the strong half of humanity, which, as a rule, rarely compromises when it comes to comfort during sports.

"Pletenki" often worn as an alternative to summer men's sandals. Like perforated moccasins, they are ideal for hot weather, premises or when driving in hot weather, because they provide ventilation, “legs breathe” and there are no unpleasant consequences in the form of sweaty and worn out legs.

Such a model is often hand-made performance. The appearance of the model can be quite presentable (sometimes everything depends on the manufacturer’s fancy), often the sole is reinforced with a more resistant material - felt or leather. It should be worn by a man exclusively at home, depending on the material varies the ability to save heat.

Another extravagant version of moccasins, appropriate at a party or a walk with friends. With a sufficiently thick sole, the practicality and comfort of the model increases several times.

The most common color for moccasins. As with any other color - the mass of shades, ranging from dark, almost black, to light sand. The current season promises popularity for beige tones, not excluding more saturated options. Depending on the tone changes and those situations where they can appear. Dark options are relevant for work. Light - for the weekend. Beige can be worn in any situation, but you should be aware of the rules of color compatibility of shoes and trousers (or shorts). For men, this is their coincidence (or at least indistinguishability at first glance).

Yellow shoes, in the eponymous song of Zhanna Aguzarova, played a role in attracting the attention of the girl. The latest color fashion trends are rich mustard shades. Therefore, gentlemen who want to make an impression may be advised to wear yellow moccasins. True, this eccentric version of the colors is really appropriate only in an informal setting.

In the wake of yellow, orange is very unusual for shoes, and therefore such models usually have some special purpose. Often orange are sports or home models. In addition, details of moccasins can be made in orange color - for example, laces, threads, sometimes a sole.

The option of rich active colors, which must be supported by other accessories in the image or elements of clothing. In this case, it is better to deviate from the rules of one color for trousers and shoes. As a “support” there can be a print, an ornament - for example, a burgundy striped T-shirt.

This color, like the previous ones, can be of different shades. And again - the shades of shoes and the bottom of the image of men should be the same. In the upcoming season, shades referring to denim (called “Niagara”) and dark blue, azure blue and cold pure water (Island paradise) will be popular. Blue color can be models of reptile skin, textiles, in particular - denim (jeans). The first option is to be perfectly combined with other status items, and textiles are appropriate in situations that do not require a demonstration of the wealth of the carrier.

Quite a practical and stylish color option, combined with light chinos, khaki, jeans or slacks. Adherents of practicality devoted to shade of gray-brown (Warm Taupe), popular in the palette of the upcoming season. The same men who are accustomed to minimalism in the image will surely like the shade of Sharkskin (shark skin), which is distinguished by brevity and restraint.

Will become a good continuation of the image of a romantic man in a white suit or a valid option for jeans.

Men's fashion trends represent a large selection of moccasins from different materials.

One of the most trendy models, stylish looking regardless of design. Such moccasins can be decorated with traditional “denim” fittings (stripes, riveting, stitching), have a deliberately raw edge. Just the way for the casual style.

Summer options can also be made of mesh. This is one of the most cost-effective types of material of the top, usually made of textiles - twisted yarn, treated in a special way. The advantage is good ventilation moccasins, the lack of same wear speed.

"Brilliant" skin requires special attention and care when worn, and it will not be appropriate in all situations. The advantage of this model is the ability to wear them with a strict manner - a business suit, trousers.

Velvet texture is a great option for homemade moccasins. Some manufacturers offer similar options with embroidery on the front lining (the top of moccasins) - this appearance of shoes brings some aristocratic British hint to the image of a man. As a decorative element, tassels or contrasting inserts can be used, or trimming with a contrasting decorative stitching.

The main material of the top for moccasins is textiles. High demands are made on such material - it must pass air, be elastic, durable, practical (this also applies to color, and water and dirt-repellent properties). With all this, it should be attractive in appearance. Textile models, depending on the appearance, will be appropriate in any situation.

Nubuck moccasins, unlike velvet, can be worn to leave the house. The presence of a thick sole and a neat appearance allow such models to be combined with business suits as well as for informal occasions. In the presence of care for the material (it is, in many respects, similar to the care of suede - cleaning with a porous sponge and brush, timely refreshment with a special spray) shoes will last a long time.

For an evening look (for example, for a tuxedo) you can wear lacquered models. Eccentric models of black material with spikes should still be reserved for a themed rock party.

Wearing moccasins, like any other shoe, requires compliance with the following rules:

1. Usually moccasins are worn on bare feet, the combination with socks is undesirable. If, due to individual characteristics (for example, excessive sweating), such a detail of the wardrobe is necessary, then you should choose only shortened socks. Some manufacturers offer special “stealth” socks for moccasins.
2. For beachwear there are slippers and sandals. Moccasins are designed for other occasions.
3. It should be remembered about the stylistic unity of the image and color combination. Black pants - with the same color moccasins of textiles. The combination of black and light brown colors is not allowed.

Moccasins from the fashion house Gucci in 2017 were offered by the fashion house both in the classic version and with unusual, but stylish decorative elements. The classic model of men's moccasins is presented in black, dark blue, dark brown and reptile skin. Top materials - genuine leather. Decorative detail - double buckle "GG" on the top plate. In addition, the proposed moccasins with a metal jumper on the top lining (color solution optional green and reptile skin in two colors - brown and black). The highlight of the collection - moccasins with lining "Union Jack".And of course - moccasins with a Gucci brand ribbon on the top lining - a timeless model, made in light brown, burgundy, black, dark brown and dark blue, which can be appropriate for any men's suit.

Presented in all the variety of design solutions that are permissible for men's moccasins, a large selection of materials and color solutions. There are options for almost any situation - from relaxed to official, from models for yachting and driving to major events. Their advantages include breathable materials of the upper, sole, foot, taking into account the anatomical features, which made Geox the internationally recognized manufacturer of shoes.

The manufacturer mainly focused on models for a casual image, color ammma is not as extensive as it could. As a design feature - a very strong resemblance to the slip-ons (because of the sole), but the top - unambiguously indicates the "moccasin" origin. Top material is a branded product called “Colorlight” - thin, light, tactile, resembling natural leather. The sole - also from a company material - provides cushioning when walking, which allows us to advise a model for hiking. The color palette of the models is muted, which makes them an excellent option for everyday wear.

Offered only in the black version, the design and material (genuine leather) are very elegant, which makes the model ideal for an office business suit. The manufacturer notes the high airflow materials of shoes.

Moccasins are suitable for everyday wear in warm weather. Available in two colors - blue and brown, decorated with tassels on the upper part and fringe. Materials - genuine leather.

For the Armani brand, the fashion house offered moccasins of laconic design in suede and leather versions. All the proposed models are made of natural materials, the sole - anatomically repeats the outlines of the foot and absorbs it when walking. As decorative elements - lines or metal lintels. Models are difficult to attribute to the budget, but the excellent appearance and time-tested quality compensate for everything.

It would seem that the combination of the impossible - sneakers and moccasins, but Nike managed to realize this. However, the cases for wearing such shoes have been significantly reduced - except for sports (including running - the sole is borrowed from sneakers). But it is very stylish and will appeal to most fans of the new in fashion.

The cult manufacturer offers a strong half of humanity in the season of 2017 several models of moccasins in a different style decision. Perhaps the most remarkable of the proposed - moccasins on a grooved sole. In such a pair, no road is terrible - neither paved with large stones, nor pebbles, nor off-road. The design of the shoes deceptively makes you decide that these are shoes. But the manufacturer claims the moccasin nature of the pair - all the more so that the top of the products is, in fact, as in typical moccasins - a pad sewn with a deliberately coarse and noticeable seam, a string along the upper edge.

In addition to this model, traditional models of modern moccasins made of suede and leather are proposed. Suede shoes are decorated with a drawstring bow and are ideal for an informal setting. Leather has a discreet design and can be worn in the office.

Under the brand, a rather large collection of men's moccasins has been released, from which one can find interesting variants for any image. Perhaps one of the unusual summer models - beige moccasins made of genuine leather. The highlight in the combination of reptile skin on the upper lining and solid perforation on the side details (except for the heel backdrop).

The moccasins in the current year’s collection are made of natural materials (insole, top material). The sole, as always, is rubberized. The design is discreet, such moccasins are a great option for the office.In the upper left corner of the lining - Vitacci brand name (small round emblem). Those who have worn these moccasins, note that the model is excellent for the off-season.

Moccasins fit perfectly with any casual fashion. A very interesting combination will be moccasins with jeans. Despite the rule of color combination of pants and shoes, modern dandies skillfully neglect them and leave the situation as winners. In fact, the combination of red brick chinos with moccasins of green color of muted shades made of nubuck or suede creates a relaxed look for men who are not constrained by the dress code. Complements the picture beige jacket with patch pockets and a classic white shirt.

Breaking the rules, fashionistas find something new and nontrivial in the combination of the usual details of the wardrobe. So, choosing moccasins with a fringe for a dark blue two-piece brown suit, combining it with modern blue men with a light blue shirt and polka-dot tie, modern men create, like English dandies of the 19th century. Sunglasses (worn to the place and on the occasion of sunny weather) and wrist watches are a good completion of the image.

A more traditional combination of “black to black”, but in different stylistic directions is also a feature of modern men. Surprisingly, the combination of seemingly incompatible things (moccasins with fringe, made, apparently, in a casual style and a strict business suit) form a new eclectic image, where no detail falls out of the ensemble and gives the impression of an absolutely thoughtful image like a mosaic of puzzles in a single, unexpectedly attractive picture.

As an option for a warmer season - a combination of moccasins and shorts. Men's shorts for the city, usually knee-length. Attractive is the combination of a dark (black) shirt with a three-quarter sleeve (or simply rolled up sleeves) and light (white) shorts knee-deep. The natural continuation of this urban image is just moccasins (on bare feet, nothing else) and the presence of good sunglasses. Whatever other shoes - flip-flops, boots - in this image will look strange and unattractive.
