Hand-me-down some shoes

Sometimes wearing burnished shoes over a super shiny formal or perfect leather washed shoes can exude stronger and more interesting appeal. No doubt, so called "hand-me-down" shoes is a common staple for a men's wardrobe. Some of these hand-me-down shoes are in fact  more expensive than brand new ones for that matter, mainly because of the peculiar kind of material used to give this footwear a rustic, old, worn, and charming effect.

These are some  picks from an array of hand-me-down shoes which are essentials this fall. Click the photos for an enlarged view.:-)

Washed-suede brogues from Dolce & Gabbana

This produces an element of flair on your clothing. 

This is from Alexander McQueen. 

This Oxford brogues is also made of suede and appears to lasts with its durable rubber soles. The tip has been oiled to give that color-faded effect and subtle worn finish. 

Remove the jacket and your look still be fine with these shoes.

This is hand-crafted pesko-burnished suede shoes from O'Keeffe.

If I have this on my wardrobe, this will be a favorite for many years to come because of its instant worn-feel.  

There is a cardinal rule that must be remembered in using a hand-me-down shoes. That is wearing the right pair can dress UP your faded jeans or dress DOWN your tux or coat. :-)

Cheers!
