Patent Leather Shoes for Men

Patent leather shoes have a high-gloss finish and belong with evening wear. Under a tuxedo or a tailcoat, a black patent leather shoe is the classic choice: the shine of the shoe echoes the satin details of your tuxedo and your bow tie. For those who want to stand out at a party or gala, there is also a gold patent leather shoe.

When do you wear patent leather shoes?

If the invitation says black tie or white tie, you can never go wrong with patent leather shoes. They are also suitable for a gala dinner, a gala evening or a festive evening wedding, provided you wear them with a tuxedo or tailcoat. With an ordinary suit and during the day, you don't wear patent leather, but a smooth leather lace-up shoe.

How to keep your patent leather shoes looking beautiful

Patent leather needs no shoe polish. After wearing, wipe the shoes clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and rub them dry for a beautiful shine. Store them separately from other shoes, preferably in a fabric bag, so the patent leather doesn't get damaged.

Complete your evening outfit with a white tuxedo shirt and a pocket square. The complete range of men's shoes can be found under shoes.
