Cool Wedding Shoes for the Contemporary Groom

Brides personalize their wedding looks with accessories and shoes—for grooms, it's no different. Much like a wedding dress, a suit or tuxedo—whether black, navy, burgundy, or any other color he loves—is a great canvas for personalized add-ons (shoes especially!), which can ultimately speak to the man of the hour's personality. Not to mention, they can also correspond with the style and formality of the wedding.

There are so many ways to upgrade the groom's shoe game for the big day. A super easy option? Add a bit of humor to his kicks without even having to buy a new pair: Pull out the laces of his go-to black or brown oxfords and switch in neon or other brightly-colored iterations. It's a simple way to make his shoes, and his outfit, feel cool and fun. Is he in the mood to shop for something new? He's in luck. There are so many cool men's shoes out there that would look awesome paired with a groom's suit—many of which go beyond the typical dress shoe. From Converse sneakers that will give a suit a laid-back edge and leather sneakers that can make the typically-casual footwear look more dressed up to otherwise-classic loafers with original details (like woven rope soles or oxfords with textured patterns!), his options truly are endless.

In the end, though, it's important to look for those small accents that will make his footwear special—something about that unique pair (like the ones ahead!) should speak to him. After all, as they say, it's all in the details.
