Should Men Ever Wear Sandals?

by

Sandals. Basically every woman owns at least one pair (usually many more than 1!), but only some men wear them regularly’.  So the question is: are sandals appropriate for men or not?

We will discuss both sides of the story…

They are manly: Would you question the manliness of the Roman warriors back during the days of the Roman Empire Such as the extraordinarily manly  Praetorian. Guards? It would not be a good idea.

These warriors were some of the best soldiers of their time. What did they wear on their feet? Sandals. Sandals are practical for keeping feet cool in the Italian heat and is a timeless style that predates boots. 

Feminine: It may be true that some manly boys have done sandals in the past, there’s something truly effeminate about showing off your feet.  There’s no need for them. This is not advice that  you should to go all Nixon-on-the-beach, but at the bare minimum limit the sandal use. Going to the beach – use flip flops. But the world doesn’t need to see your nasty man feet.

Create Your Unique Style

So you hope you’ve made it. You have a date with a man that doesn’t spend his off time in the bottom of a beer bottle or shout “Wooooooo!!” when one of his buddies arrives.  You’re on the path to being a big girl.

Now is the perfect occasion to take a long  hard and truly critical look at your wardrobe racks. Most girls do have a classic go-to date outfit, this guys hopefully not the kind that will stick around a girl that dresses like the homeless.

The issue is, we don’t always have a classically driven fashionista to follow.  So we follow the trends of our friends. Not always a wise decision.

The problem with this issue of focus we have when it comes to clothing is: Dressing appropriately is close in importance to impressing a cultured man as education and knowing what to order while out.

Poor and Positive Fashion Role Models

Have you seen how they style those silly looking models in fashion magazines? High style clothing the average girl could never get away with, or can pay for, and layers upon layer of  accessories and clothing that is way inappropriate  for the majority of social situations.

The concept here is to use what you see as ideas and customize them to your taste. Take away the ridiculous and keep whatever works for you.

Mirror A Celebrity

Many of the glitterati have a way more natural style. (movie star, not rock star.)  For the men – the ever handsome Clooney always looks good whether he’s at a premier or just out grabbing a bite. You can also search Google images or visit celebrity blogs to get an idea of how top celebrities dress.

Stay with Big Brands

There’s another way to keeping it stylish – find a brand you love, that fits your everyday, and stay with it. When it comes to high quality clothing big brands, there’s a ton of selection available. Lately, preppy brands are back, with a “dash” of California or West Coast style (aka, West Coast Prep), that could also really help a girl that wants to dress well but still wants to keep a sense of laid-back, Cali  style. You can impress without trying too hard.

Getting it all Together

It’s not really all that tough to dress well, with simple style. The trick  is to have a specific look, borrowed from your favorite movie star or inspired from magazines, make it feel real for you, and wear the hell out of it. It’s all about how YOU feel about it.
