Tommy Hilfiger Hilfiger Chelsea

Men that want the look of a dressy shoe but prefer the lean lines of a boot should consider the Hilfiger Chelsea. They come in classic polished black and deep brown leather ($279, tommy.com).

Saint Laurent Espadrille in Black Leather

If your wedding falls more into the relaxed or casual category, try these out for a chic look with a tropical flair. Saint Laurent's espadrilles feature the classic rope midsole but are made with black leather-making them sturdier and longer-wearing than your typical canvas slip-on ($395, ysl.com).

Saint Laurent Paris

Hudson Burgundy Leather Postman Shoes

Another favorite pair is this Hudson Leather Postman shoe in burgundy. This is a great look for a slightly more understated wedding. They would work for a casual ceremony during the day, plus they can easily transition to an evening reception, and are super comfortable to dance in ($180, topman.com).

Top Man

Maison Margiela Cuban-Heel Grained-Leather Boots

These Maison Margiela boots are great for those looking for a little height or Southern gents that would much prefer a cowboy boot. Not only do they work for the wedding, but the kicks can be paired with sleek trousers for a clean, streamlined look, or denim for a rock 'n' roll slant ($995, mrporter.com).
