This time around, we’re moving away from the shorts and light shirts of the summer and turning our attention to articles of clothing that are better suited to fending off the chill that usually hangs in the air during the fall.

We’re also building looks off of four Belvedere creations included in this year’s fall collection. If you’ve already purchased some of those shoes, this article will suggest some ideas for how to bring out the best in them.

Keep it Formal with the Bala

Belvedere’s Bala is a tribute to the classic dress shoe.

When you’re working with great materials – alligator and calf leather in this instance – you don’t have to do much to create a memorable look. The designers have done a masterful job of simply allowing the materials used to speak for themselves.

The lustrous quality of the Bala enables it to add some contrast when paired with darker colors.

You’re not wearing the Bala for just any occasion, so why not pair it up with a tuxedo. Wear it together with this wool tuxedo from Emporio Armani to give James Bond a run for his money.

Suit Up with Gregg

Ankle boots may not be on the same level as the classic dress shoes in terms of formality, but they certainly still manage to give off a refined look. That is especially true for ankle boots that prominently feature darker shades of color.

The Gregg is a fine example of a formal pair of ankle boots. It’s eye-catching, but not extravagant and it also adds something new to what could otherwise be a plain look.

If you’re planning to wear a black suit such as this Kenneth Cole creation, you can instantly enhance it by pairing it with these ankle boots.

Complete the Quintessential Fall Look with the Barry

Fall and flannel go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you don’t have a flannel shirt ready just yet, you should probably address that as soon as possible.

Flannel is fashion-friendly in the sense that it can work with a variety of pants and shoes. Just be sure that the other pieces you’re featuring are not too busy.

This beautiful flannel shirt from Uniqlo would be a great addition to any man’s wardrobe. To complement it, you can wear the Barry boots, part of our Studio Belvedere collection.

Round out the rest of the look with these skinny jeans from Levi’s.

Stay Comfortable and Stylish with the Oliver

The best thing about sneakers is how versatile they are.

For example, the Paulo is the kind of sneaker that works if you want to feature a more casual look or dress up a bit more. This time, we’re going the casual route.

You can benefit from partnering these navy blue shoes with something lighter. This graphic tee from Urban Outfitters fits the bill. Since a shirt may not be enough to keep you warm, you can layer this work jacket from Dickies over your ensemble.

Continue the fall theme by wearing these jogger pants put together by the folks over at Levi’s.

Any of the aforementioned ensembles should suit you well during this fall season. By getting your hands on a few essential pieces, you will be able to remain fashion-forward throughout the coming months.
