Brian Atwood is famous for his peep toe nude shoes which has been worn so many times on the red carpets by the celebs. And recently I saw Louboutin did the same flesh tone for his signature stilettos collection. At highstreet, of course there's plenty other nude shoes for the ladies - but for us, men... where can I find one??
We do have nude shoes too for men though not many out there in the market. Most probably because wearing nude could make us jump into another territory. Apart from the taupe lace-up brogues I bought from Bally last year, which I think the closest to nude color; this one by D&G is absolutely another delish. They didn't call it nude or 'flesh' though, rather just grey. Anyhow, I just love how it looks!
Another thing that I love it is the patent leather which gives some extra shine to it, making this Oxford lace-ups pretty much succulent to drool over. Yes, it does look simple - but if you slip it with a correct ensemble from bottom up - voila... you'll rock in it without a doubt. I'm thinking more to light grey suits, so that it'll match with it harmoniously.

D&G also got another similar version in white patent leather. This one looks so clean and chic, and won't find any awkward moment if you don it with an all-white suits. Or off-white. Or dove grey. Or perhaps, with a seersucker suit with blue or grey microstripes so that you have some element of texture in your clothing. Lots of people said, don't wear patent during daytime - but, hey.. what the heck. It's your shoes, you can wear it anytime you want!
For those who like to stay in the safer zone yet wanted some patent feature on your footwear, another one in black, two-tonal with suede could be the right choice. This one I think suits to be worn for evening wear, coz it'll definitely show some shine. When I see this one, it does remind a bit on the patent leather/suede Oxford lace-ups by Mr. Hare. Don't you think?
