Vans have been one of the most iconic sneakers on the market for more than 50 years. From the comfort to the cool and casual design, Vans are an absolute staple for any man’s wardrobe. While they are best known for being a shoe brand, Vans has become so legendary that they can essentially be described as their own specific style.

Originally targeted for skateboarders, Vans is a brand that brings style and leisure together to help the laidback guy look great. In order to provide you with some inspiration, here is our list of the top best vans outfits for men.

Created in 1966, the Authentic became the original Vans heritage style. This California born and bred shoe quickly became a cult icon and is probably the most recognizable and coveted style of Vans available. Whether you’re looking for checkerboard Vans, clean white Vans, or simple black Vans, the Vans Authentic shoe is a consistent and reliable style to go with. With a simple low top and lace-up profile, the Authentic truly embodies Vans “Off the Wall” attitude. The shoe also features sturdy canvas uppers, metal eyelets, and signature rubber waffle outsoles for the ultimate comfort plus a little extra height. 

One of the best things about the Authentic is the fact that it’s an incredibly versatile shoe. While Vans are most known for being quite casual, getting a pair that is either all white or a more neutral beige can allow you to maintain the comfort of Vans while sporting a shoe that could easily be worn with a business casual outfit. Another fun and unique way to wear the Vans Authentic would be to pick a pair that is in a relatively vibrant and bold color, and matching them with an oversized sweatshirt or tee that is of the same hue.
