Top Men's Dress Shoes

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

From monk straps to wing-tips; oxfords to loafers; and basic black to rich red; this list has a dress shoe for every kind of guy.

In no particular order, here are my top picks in men's dress shoes.

1. Men's Dress Shoes - Calvin Klein "Horatio"

Few names strike fear into the hearts of men's fashion designers like Calvin Klein. The "Horatio" is a classic example of why. Perfectly classic oxford with that little something extra. Maybe it's the bicycle toe design or maybe it's simply magic. Only Calvin knows for sure.

2. Kenneth Cole New York "Prime Time" - Trendy Men's Dress Shoes

Of all men's shoe designers, Kenneth Cole is one of my favorites, and his dress shoes are top-flight. This dress oxford has uppers that combine smooth and croc-embossed leather and an extremely stylish bicycle toe. With four eyelets and a classic dress heel, the "Prime Time" is available in black.

3. Men's Dress Shoes - "Casey" by Hugo Boss

You can't go wrong with Hugo Boss, or this shoe. A classic shoe from a classic designer, this streamlined, modern oxford is available in black, or a gorgeous shade of brown.

4. "Equal Match" Men's Dress Shoes by Kenneth Cole

For the guy who wants to be noticed, check out these split toe loafers from Kenneth Cole. The style is great, and the uppers are something to behold in an antiqued metallic silver.

5. Men's Dress Shoes - Giorgio Brutini "15904" Slip-Ons

This dressy slip-on is a contemporary, stylish and affordable men's dress shoe. Easily slips off and on due to double goring, this square-toed slip on looks great in black, but it's positively awesome in brown or beige.

6. Moc Toe Men's Dress Shoes - "Maso" by Donald J Pliner

These men's dress shoes are super-hot and feature a stylish linked strap. Donald Pliner's "Maso" shoes are offered loads of unique color combinations, my favorite styles happen to be of the "Distressed Gator Suede" variety.
