When you’re putting together outfits that are elegant but not overly formal, the best men’s dress boots are a great accessory. Boots are inherently more casual than traditional dress shoes, so they can take down the formality of an outfit. The best part? Boots give your outfit a bit of an edge, which is perfect if you like to stand out from the crowd. While you’re figuring out which boots are best for you, consider your personal style. Motorcycle boots are perfect for an edgier look, while sleek men’s side-zip dress boots can fit into an office environment. It’s also a good idea to consider what pants you’ll wear with the boots — and don’t forget to pick the color that matches most of your wardrobe.
