Know About Few Different Types of Monk Strap Shoes

 

A monk strap or monk shoe is usually a casual style of dress shoe without lacing, rather fastened at the toes by one or more straps and buckles. It's a slightly more formal shoe than an Oxford; though still more so than an unconcealed open Derby. In between those, it's probably one of the most popular categories of men's footwear. There are many different types of monk straps, with varying styles and designs for every occasion.

For a casual outfit, such as a pair of slacks or a dress shirt, you can get the classic brown monk strap shoes, with or without a buckle, with either plain or colored stitching. The black ones with the plain buckles are perfect for the business look and for those who want to dress casually, without giving the appearance of being a bit formal. You could wear these with a t-shirt and a pair of khaki pants to work, or even to church on Sunday afternoon.

When you want to wear a shoe with a bit more panache, you could opt for the pink monk strap shoes, in either a plain or contrasting color. These go great with almost any dressy outfit, from a cute little denim skirt to a nice pair of slacks and a nice jacket. You can also wear them with a plain t-shirt and khaki pants to play basketball in the park. If you don't want to be as formal as the aforementioned, you could always wear a pair of black leather shoes with a dressy ensemble. Or even skip the shoes all together and wear some black pants and a button down shirt underneath.

For a bit more on the dressy side, try the hunter gray or sandal monk strap shoes, which are also from Hunter. They have a bit of an edgy look about them that makes them stand out. They pair well with skinny jeans or leggings, or even with a cute little cardigan or blouse overtop. And no matter what you pair them with, you can be sure that they will always get you some attention.

There are even more casual monk straps out there! In addition to the menswear offerings above, you can also find them in canvas for the truly adventurous man. He can team one with a button down shirt for a more everyday look, or he can wear them with denim for a more laid back look. You can find them in a variety of colors and styles, but the one that is probably most popular is the double monks, which come in black and brown for the truly dressed up look.

On the other end of the spectrum, you can also find Oxford shirts with monk strap shoes in them. If you want to dress down but still look smart, you can do that as well, without going full on black tie. It all depends on how daring you want to take your look. Black is still a great color, but you can pull it off with Oxford shirts and monk strap shoes, for a completely different look. And if you don't want to go full on the boho chic look, you can still look stylish in them, with a plain black Oxford shirt underneath and maybe some slacks or khakis.

Of course, one can't forget the classic, old-school menswear staple, the black trouser. And you can wear a black trouser with monk strap shoes for just about any occasion. For instance, you can wear a light blue silk shirt or a light brown Oxford shirt to work, with a pair of dark suede monk strap shoes, for a more classic look. Or you could wear a light blue wool dress shirt with a pair of double monk strap shoes for a casual look that works for any time.

There are just so many ways to wear monk strap shoes that it's impossible not to be impressed. Whether you like their classic simplicity, or the modern twists they come out with, you're sure to love them. Look for great deals online, not only for monk strap but also to buy Italian shoes online and in boutique stores, and let yourself be surrounded by luxury, class, and timeless fashion when you dress up.
