- With inputs by Ankita Bajaj and Kim Virk, experts at different fashion labels

Besides the white sneakers and black casual shoes, monk straps and brogues are a part of the must-have list of footwear for men this year, say experts. This season, here’s what will trend for men.

Monk straps and double monk straps: The single monk straps that have a single belt, and the double monk straps are for people with narrow or smaller feet. They can be paired with formal trousers, chinos and denims.

Wing tip brogues: Wing tip shoes are perfect for formal attire. The perforated decoration in the toe cap makes it look sophistica­ted and fun. They can be paired with suits and trousers with button-down shirts and blazers. But be mindful of the occasion — avoid garish shoes for an upscale formal event. Instead, opt for a classic pair in a subtle shade.

Chelsea boots: The laceless boots are sleek and the most versatile of its kind. They can be paired with casual, semi-formal and formal outfits alike. You can leave your trousers sitting over your Chelsea boots as it looks neat. Make sure that your trousers are of the right length, and they don’t hide those boots.

White sneakers: Trainers are a must if you want to wear something sporty and trendy. One could argue that they get dirty very quickly, but they go with almost everything. And the colour gives the option to play with your styling, especially when you are up for some experiment­ation with layering.

High top sneakers: These shoes will keep your feet warm, and at the same time add to your style quotient. Mix and match the print or the fabric of the shoe to suit your requiremen­t — from leather to suede, or print to plain.

Black casual shoes: Black sneakers are a great option if you are going for a monochroma­tic look, or you prefer neutral colours. From high-tops and slip-ons to laceups, there are so many options from which you can choose.
