Men's moccasins 2022

Moccasins are a type of footwear, the ancestral home of which is North America. It is the Indians who inhabited this continent who are credited with the idea of ​​​​creating such a shoe model. At the same time, some northern peoples also have something similar to moccasins in traditional outfits.

The main feature of moccasins, which distinguishes them favorably, is their unpretentious design - the side walls and the sole are usually made of one piece of material, on top - from the fingers, covering the instep of the foot - another piece of material (oval insert) is sewn on. The upper seam, which fastens the side "sides" and the oval insert, is often deliberately rough, with threads of contrasting colors, decorating shoes in a similar way. The advantages of moccasins were and remain the absence of a heavy sole, its flattening, a light cut of shoes, and the possibility of combining materials. For example, it is common to use a softer material for the upper part of the product and a more wear-resistant material for the side parts.

Having become part of the fashionable wardrobe, moccasins appeared in both women's and men's wardrobes. The presence of a flat sole left a place for them only in a casual look and its variations in the beautiful half of humanity.In the male image, such shoes are much more common, and there are undoubtedly more models of moccasins for men. The unpretentious appearance and the presence of a comfortable sole made moccasins ideal for driving a car.

The variety of men's models of moccasins was facilitated by their widespread combination with clothing of a different style.

Traditionally, it is believed that the heel is an exclusively female attribute. But this is a delusion. The heel is different, and small (from one to two or even up to 3.5 cm) can be in both women's and men's shoes. Initially, the design of moccasins did not provide for any kind of heel. But, often paired with an office suit, moccasins have undergone such a change.

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

Lace-up models are another common version 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 at the instep of the foot, where variations are possible with laces on an oval insert. The presence of a white thick corrugated sole on such a model is a sign of an independent subspecies of moccasins - topsiders.

The comfort and appearance of moccasins make them a good option for indoor use as well. The models offered in this category are very diverse - here, in fact, there is a following of the historical tradition of sewing moccasins from two or three pieces of fabric, when the sole and side parts are one.Usually, home options have an extremely soft sole or it is completely absent; made of velvet, suede.

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

The presence of tassels in a pair of shoes indicates their belonging to such a subspecies of moccasins as loafers. In addition to the tassel, there may be a jumper on the instep of the foot. The presence of this detail makes them an interesting addition to road trips. However, this option is unlikely to be appropriate in the office, since it does not go well with a man's business suit.

Moccasins can be made both factory-made and made in a single copy. Hand-made is the trend of the last few seasons in shoe fashion. Made by hand, they will definitely be exclusive - it is rare when a master can make two absolutely identical things. Handmade moccasins are made of soft materials, the soles are 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 (in the absence of the need to walk a lot), since their presence on the legs, with the correct selection of the size, is almost imperceptible. If the moccasins are handmade for an individual order, the comfort of the wearer is guaranteed.

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

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

Such unusual elements on moccasins refer to the aggressively sexual image of rock musicians. Spikes will add brutality to a man. However, it should be remembered that shoes must match the rest of the elements of the image. Such a somewhat rebellious element of clothing, of course, will be in place at a theme party, as well as on a walk; but his appearance on weekdays will be strange.

Models with perforation are a real find for a hot climate or just a warm (sometimes very) season. These 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 options for moccasins are most welcome for summer “office” everyday life. There are many options for the location of perforations - ranging from options with perforations only on the upper lining of moccasins or their front part as a whole, to absolutely “ventilated” options, when all the details are “into a hole”.

If there were some kind of worldwide shoe competition, this model would have received its prize in the nomination "the most extravagant shoe." That, however, does not negate its qualities as a shoe - in contrast to the fantasy versions of absolutely unwearable shoes (such as Italian chopino on a huge wedge heel or Japanese okobo, again on a sloping platform, addressed to women).

Such moccasins, in fact, could be compared with the "toe" socks that were popular before and now - 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, like all other models of moccasins, is maximum - at the base of the instep or lower, to the toes. These moccasins are offered by the manufacturer (Vibram, FiveFingers model) mainly as ideal shoes for sports. Various options for running, jumping are proposed. Such shoes are most popular among the strong half of humanity, which, as a rule, rarely compromises when it comes to comfort during sports.

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

Such a model is often hand-made. The appearance of the model can be quite presentable (sometimes everything depends only on the manufacturer's imagination), often the sole is reinforced with a more resistant material - felt or leather. A man should wear it exclusively at home, depending on the material, the ability to save heat varies.

Another extravagant version of moccasins, appropriate for 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, there are a lot of shades, ranging from dark, almost black, to light sandy ones.The current season promises popularity for beige tones, not excluding more saturated options. Depending on the tone, the situations where you can appear in them also change. Dark options are appropriate for work. Light - for the weekend. Beige can be worn in any situation, but you should remember the rules for matching the color of shoes and trousers (or shorts). For men, this is their coincidence (or at least indistinguishability at first glance).

Yellow shoes, in the song of the same name by 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 impress can be advised to wear yellow moccasins. True, such an eccentric color option is really appropriate only in an informal setting.

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

A variant of saturated active coloring, which should be supported by other accessories in the image or elements of clothing. In this case, it is better to deviate from the rule of the same 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 match. In the upcoming season, shades referring to denim (called "Niagara") and deep blue, azure blue and a shade of cold clear water (Island paradise) will be popular.Blue can be models of reptile skin, textiles, in particular - denim (jeans). The first option will go well with other status items, and textiles are appropriate in situations that do not require a demonstration of the wealth of the wearer.

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

They will be a good continuation of the image of a romantic man in a white suit or a valid option for jeans.

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

One of the most trendy models that looks stylish regardless of the design. Such moccasins can be decorated with traditional "denim" fittings (stripes, rivets, stitching), have a deliberately raw edge. Just in time for casual style.

Summer options can also be made of mesh. This is one of the most budgetary types of top material, usually made from textiles - twisted threads, processed in a special way. The advantage is the good ventilation of moccasins, the disadvantage is the speed of wear.

"Brilliant" skin requires special attention and accuracy 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 image - a business suit, trousers.

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

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

Nubuck moccasins, unlike velvet, can be worn to go out. The presence of a thickened sole and a neat appearance make it possible to combine such models with both business suits and informal occasions. If you take care of 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), the shoes will last a long time.

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

Wearing moccasins, like any other footwear, requires 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 wardrobe item is necessary, then only shortened socks should be chosen. Some manufacturers offer special “invisible” socks for moccasins.
2. For beachwear there are flip-flops and sandals. Moccasins are for other occasions.
3. It should be remembered about the stylistic unity of the image and color combination. Black pants - with textile moccasins of the same color. A combination of black and light brown colors is not allowed.

Moccasins from the Gucci fashion house in 2017 are offered by the fashion house both in a classic design 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, moccasins are offered with a metal bridge on the top lining (an additional color solution is a green variant and reptile skin in two colors - brown and black). The highlight of the collection is moccasins with Union Jack overlay. And of course, the moccasins with Gucci's signature ribbon on the top trim are a timeless piece, available in light brown, burgundy, black, dark brown and navy blue that can go well with any men's suit.

They are presented in all the variety of design solutions that are acceptable for men's moccasins, a large selection of materials and colors. There are options for almost any situation - from casual to formal, from models for yachting and driving to serious events. Their advantages include breathable upper materials, soles, and anatomically shaped feet, which made Geox a world-renowned shoe manufacturer.

The manufacturer mainly focused on models for a casual look, the color range is not as extensive as it could be. As design features - a very strong similarity with slip-ons (due to the sole), but the top - unambiguously indicates a "moccasin" origin. The upper material is a proprietary development called "Colorlight" - thin, light, tactilely reminiscent of genuine leather. The midsole - also made from a proprietary material - provides cushioning when walking, which makes it recommended for hiking. The color palette of the models is muted, which makes them a great option for everyday wear.

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

Moccasins are suitable for everyday wear in warm weather. Presented 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 a laconic design in suede and leather versions. All the proposed models are made of natural materials, the sole - anatomically repeats the shape of the foot and cushions it when walking. As decorative elements - lines or metal jumpers. Models are difficult to attribute to budget, but 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. True, the cases for wearing such shoes have significantly decreased - except for sports (including running - the sole is borrowed from sneakers). But it is very stylish and will appeal to most lovers of the new in fashion.

The cult manufacturer offers the strong half of humanity in the 2017 season several models of moccasins in different styles. Perhaps the most remarkable of the proposed ones are moccasins with grooved soles. 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 think that these are boots.But the manufacturer declares the moccasin nature of the pair - especially since the top of the products is, in fact, like typical moccasins - an overlay sewn on with a deliberately rough and noticeable seam, a lace along the upper edge.

In addition to this model, traditional models of modern moccasins made of suede and leather are offered. The suede ones are decorated with a bow lace and are ideal for an informal setting, while the leather ones have a discreet design and can be worn to the office.

Under the brand, a fairly large collection of men's moccasins has been released, from which you can choose interesting options for any look. Perhaps one of the unusual summer models is beige moccasins made of genuine leather. The highlight is the combination of reptile leather on the upper overlay and all-over perforation on the side details (except for the heel counter).

Moccasins in the collection of the current year are made of natural materials (insole, upper 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 overlay is the Vitacci brand name (a small round emblem). Those who happened to wear these moccasins note that the model is excellent for the off-season.

Moccasins are perfect for any casual look. The combination of moccasins with jeans will be very interesting. Despite the rule of combining the color of pants and shoes, modern fashionistas skillfully neglect it and emerge victorious from the situation. Indeed, pairing brick red chinos with muted green moccasins in nubuck or suede creates a relaxed look for men who aren't constrained by the dress code. The picture is complemented by a beige jacket with patch pockets and a classic white shirt.

Breaking the rules, fashionistas find something new and non-trivial in a combination of familiar wardrobe details. So, choosing moccasins with fringes for a dark blue two-piece brown suit, combining this with a blue shirt a few tones lighter and a tie with polka dots, modern men, like English dandies of the 19th century, create new style trends. A good end to the image are sunglasses (put on the place and on the occasion of sunny weather) and a wrist watch.

A more traditional black-to-black combination, but in different styles, is also a feature of modern men. Surprisingly, the combination of seemingly incongruous items (moccasins with fringe, made, apparently, in the style of casual and strict business suit) form a new eclectic look, where not a single detail falls out of the ensemble and creates the impression of an absolutely thoughtful look, like a mosaic of puzzles assembled into a single, unexpectedly attractive picture.

As an option for a warmer season - a combination of moccasins and shorts. Men's shorts for the city, as a rule, are knee-length. The combination of a dark (black) shirt with a three-quarter sleeve (or just rolled up sleeves) and light (white) knee-length shorts looks attractive. Moccasins (for bare feet, nothing else) and the presence of good sunglasses are a natural continuation of such an urban image. Whatever other shoes - slippers, boots - in this way will look strange and unattractive.
