The Best Dress Shoes, According to GQ Editors |
In 2024, figuring out where dress shoes fit into your footwear rotation can be a little confusing. Your friends swear by Adidas, your coworkers refuse to take off their Dunks, and everybody is wearing Crocs. (Crocs!) Finding room in your heart, let alone in your closet, for shoes you once associated with the drudgery of your 9-to-5 is a tough ask.
And yet! In opting for a pair of dress shoes, you're making a conscious decision to eschew all the furry clogs, freaky sneakers, and (gulp) cool-guy FiveFingers out there, true—but that doesn't mean you need to stick exclusively to the usual suspects.
Many of the options we gathered will sync up well with the trappings of standard business casual attire, but they'll also look at home elevating your biggest weekend fits. Which means whether you're wearing them to your first nerve-wracking presentation in months or your first nerve-wracking date in nearly as long, they won't steer you wrong. Going with the (pebble) grain never looked so good. |
