CASUAL SHOES FOR MEN AND WOMEN

In business environment shoes should be comfortable, functional,clean, attractive and shined. Shoes plays an important role in business apparel. You can have appropriate clothes on but if your shoes are not appropriate it makes you that you have no sense of professionalism and business apparel. Appropriate colours are black, navy or brown that coordinate with your other attire and accessories; white and pastels colours are not appropriate.


Women should avoid these mistakes:
  • No running shoes or flip-flop
  • No bright colours, only neutral colours look more professional
  • No animal prints and over high heels
  • No sandals and open toed shoes with jewels
It is also depends on you how comfortable you feel in your heels.
       
Men: Unprofessional look reflects through the shoes, if you have your dress pants and nice collared dress shirts on but other side you have casual running shoes on which will make you silly, very inappropriate and unprofessional. Men should avoid sandals because they do go well with business casual. Leather shoes should be worn.

Shoes really reflects your personality and business sense in the workplace.
There are some examples for appropriate shoes for business casual attire.

    Yes, I believe shoes are definitely a powerful play for both women and men in business. Women have so many colors and styles of shoes to choose from, but when it comes to business casual attire it is better to stick with Black, Navy and Brown as you mentioned already. They should avoid wearing Sandals, Thin strapped shoes and High heals. When it comes for men, leather shoes is the most appropriate one. They should definitely avoid wearing Athletic shoes and Hiking shoes.
