Belgian Loafers

With its tiny yet unmistakably chic bow on the front, these Belgian loafers are a no-brainer. The silhouette is sleek and stylish, and the added plus of leather trim and colorblocked suede makes 'em even better.

Bitflex Chelsea Boots

For a shoe you can wear nearly anywhere, not just to a wedding, a Chelsea boot will serve you well. This one toes the line between classy and comfortable, so you can dress it up with a suit or dress it down with chinos.

Camden Shoes

Grenson makes a true investment shoe. If you dance too hard at the next several weddings, fear not; just have these re-soled by the brand, and you'll be good as new. They might even last longer than some marriages will.

The Monterrey Shoes

For spring and summer weddings, a laidback leather slip-on is the perfect pick. These are elegant and simple, and with a linen suit or a pair of khakis, they're a totally fresh, clean vibe.

Camden Loafers

J.Crew's Camden loafers are a shoe you can wear nearly anywhere. For a wedding, they pair well with most suits; get more wear out of them in your everyday life, too, with jeans and a tee.

Mesi Leather Cap-Toe Oxfords

When dressing up, your mind may immediately go to Oxfords. Well, mine immediately goes to these specific Oxfords from Banana Republic—not too formal, by no means casual, and endlessly chic.

Asher Monk-Strap Shoes

For some added flair, a monk-strap shoe is the way to go. PRL has a timelessly cool pic with adjustable straps and a cushiony interior.

Craft Arlo Limit Shoes

Clarks is all about wrapping comfort up in style. These brogues are breathable and cushiony, but they're classy as hell, too, with perforated details and a shiny finish.

The Felize Uomo Shoes

Some suits just call for a driving shoe. Whether. you want fiery red, rich green, or a more classic neutral, M. Gemi's Italian-crafted, traditional style in suede is sure to serve a good look.

Jordaan Horsebit Suede Loafers

Gucci's horsebit loafers are one of the most iconic shoes out there, and they just so happen to look damn great with a suit. If you want to pull out all the stops at the next wedding, pull these out of your closet.

What To Consider When Buying

Depending on the vibe and location of the wedding you're attending, some shoes will be better suited to complete your outfit than others. A summer beach wedding, for example, is a great place to wear Tecovas' leather slip-ons, or a bare-ankle style like M. Gemi's driving shoes. Something more traditional and glamorous, however, may call for an Oxford or brogue.

If you already know what you're going to wear to the wedding, that's a major factor in picking out the shoe. A classic black tie suit calls for a more formal shoe, whereas a laidback, smart-casual look can get away with being paired with a loafer or slipper.
