Statement shoes are those wonderful bright things you see braver men wear. You walk passed and wonder why it is you couldn't pull it off but the truth is it's not as hard as you think! They're statement pieces because they make a statement. What you don't want is for them to make you look like a fool. So to make sure you wear them properly avoid using the same colour (or other brighter ones for that matter) elsewhere. An exception in this case would be a handkerchief or perhaps a bow-tie depending on the occasion. But this is not the time to wear a purple jacket with your bright purple shoes! Choose the item and then add plainer but suited colours.
Notice how the following men have used only three other colours in their outfit. Keeping it basic and classic allows the shoes to speak for themselves.
