Unless you work on a runway – be it at Milan or Heathrow – neon is not a sensible all-over colour. It clashes. It washes you out. It’s the first – and, often, only – thing anyone looks at. But used sparingly, it can lift staid looks.
Going for a preppy Americana look? You’ll need some loafers. Mediterranean louche? Loafers. Tailoring? Even then, loafers can finish off a Savile Row look with a cool, modern edge.
If it’s true that a man’s outfit is assessed from his shoes up, then it’s their shade that first colours someone’s judgement.
Footwear, like everything else in menswear, has grown less rigid recently, with the types, and most especially with the colors!
Colors like Neon are for the Uber stylish, those that dare to make a statement, and like we said, an absolute look lifter!
