A wedding day does not come with a uniform. Perhaps you are getting married in a sharp three-piece suit. Perhaps by the sea, in linen. Perhaps you will change your jacket straight after the ceremony. Why should there be only one kind of shoe to go with it?
At Mascolori, we love shoes that add something. Not because everyone has to stand out, but because a wedding look feels special when it is entirely yours.
An elegant pointed toe creates a long, distinctive line beneath a pair of trousers. Ideal if you like a polished look with a little theatrical flair. A pointed shoe with an unusual pattern can be the only statement you need with an understated wedding suit. Consider the width of your trouser legs: a very wide cut can hide the shape.
A loafer is a lovely choice for a relaxed wedding. It works with a softly tailored suit and a celebration where you will be moving around. Pay particular attention to the fit at the heel: a loafer should feel secure without pinching. A slightly shorter trouser leg gives the style room to show.
Trainers with a wedding suit do not automatically make the look casual. The combination can be surprisingly elegant when the colours, materials and shape work with the suit. For a formal ceremony, you may prefer dress shoes and change into trainers later. At an informal wedding, trainers can be part of your look from the start.
Fit and getting used to the shoes matter as much as their design. Do not try them on for the first time at the ceremony. Wear the socks you plan to use on the day and walk around at home beforehand. Your best size may vary between styles.
The best thing about a distinctive pair of wedding shoes is that you can keep wearing them afterwards. With jeans, smart trousers or an outfit for another special evening. They become shoes with a story, rather than shoes for just one photograph.
