Footwear

Your shoes are one of the most important parts of your clubbing outfit so be sure to wear the appropriate footwear. If you’re partying at a new spot, you may need to check the dress code to see what types of shoes are allowed in the club. Depending on your attire, you’ll want to choose quality dress shoes, boots or sneakers. The proper club footwear may include Oxfords, brogues, loafers, chukkas, Chelsea boots, and dress sneakers.

If you’re wearing trousers, put on full-grain leather dress shoes for a classy finish. Stylish men will sport Derby uppers, which look good with all types of dress pants, or stately Oxfords for an elegant touch. Smart casual clothes call for comfortable and classic Chelsea boots, while dark jeans go well with suede chukkas for a masculine style. For a high-end relaxed look, pair polished leather bit loafers with fitted chinos and a tailored button-up shirt, dress watch, and optional blazer.

Leather dress sneakers are functional and trendy for casual and smart casual dress codes. Minimalist, low-profile designs can even style nicely with trousers for a cosmopolitan summer look. Edgy and always chic, fashion-forward guys will experiment with brands like Common Projects, Greats, Koio, and Oliver Cabell.

Accessories

The right accessories will elevate your club attire from simply stylish to impeccable. While you only need the essentials, the most important accessory to put on is your watch. Fashion-conscious women will usually notice your timepiece and consider it an indicator of your social status. You can’t go wrong with luxury sports watches, especially classic stainless steel divers with dark dials or field watches with white dials like the Explorer II. For clubs with more formal dress codes, a dress watch with a croco-embossed leather strap must be color-matched to your belt.
