Month: September 2017

Black shoes are a wardrobe must have for any man. They are versatile, can be worn all year round and can be mixed and matched with different colour outfits.

With the new season upon us, there’s a new black shoe style you want to keep an eye out for – Mustang Black.

While standard black leather shoes are great, Mustang Black options will give your outfit a pleasing new lease of life. The shoes are beautifully handcrafted and the mustang leather material makes for a fantastic finish.

Anatomic & Co looks into different Mustang Black shoe styles that you should include in your autumn and winter wardrobe.

1. Tucano Mustang Black

Just when you thought the popular Tucano brogue couldn’t get any better, the modern design with its eye on tradition is now available in Mustang Black.

The best thing about this handcrafted shoe is that it can be dressed up or down, and can take on a different role depending on the rest of your outfit.

The shoe features a punched toe medallion and a 100% rubber outsole, and if you’ve done your homework, you’ll know that the Tucano men’s brogue is highly comfortable thanks to the use of unique Anatomic Gel Technology.

Tip: This shoe can be worn with both formal attire and casual outfits. 

 

2. Delta Mustang Black

If you’re on the lookout for a trendy, clean cut smart-casual lace up for the weekend, the Delta Mustang Black shoe is for you.

Not only do these shoes look magnificent in Mustang Black on the outside, but feel as incredible on the inside, thanks to soft sheepskin lining and cushioned ankle padding.

Tip: Style with slim fitted denim jeans to expose the hand-stitched leather welts and stitching.

 

3. Cardoso Mustang Black

Chelsea boots are great. Chelsea boots in black are better. Chelsea boots in Mustang Black? Unrivaled.

From the minute you pull on (an easy feat thanks to the tab and elastic inserts) these traditionally styled Anatomic & Co Cardoso Chelsea boots and feel the comfort of their soft sheepskin lining, to the minute you take these leather boots off (though, frankly, you may not want to), your feet will stay and feel daisy-fresh.

A dependable menswear staple.

Tip: These shoes go great with slim tailored black or navy jeans.

 

4. Colorado Mustang Black

Are your weekends looking a little bland? Well then you might want to bolster your weekend look with the Colorado men’s leather chukka boots.

The chukka boot has become something of a wardrobe essential these days, and now that it’s available in the Autumn-Winter special colour Mustang Black, it’s that much more desirable.

This shoe is ideal for the fashion-forward man.

Tip: Wear this shoe with a well-cut pair of denim jeans on chillier evenings.

Dressing your age can be tricky at any stage of your life. While there are no set rules on how men should dress, fashion for an older gentleman can vastly differ to those who are younger.

Whatever your age, you want to make sure you’re getting things right. It’s important to know what works for you and how to dress with both style and dignity – that’s what will make you stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.

Anatomic & Co has put together a guide to different styles for different ages and looking at celebs that are getting it right.

Late Twenties:

Gentlemen in their late twenties are the ‘catered-to’ audience when it comes to dress styles. This is a time to try out bolder looks and trends before committing to more classic styles as you get older.

Getting it right: Connor McGregor (29)

Whether or not you back the Irishmen in the ring, you cannot fault his dress style. When it comes to suiting-up, McGregor displays a level of swag to match his unrivalled swagger.

His custom suits fit him like a 4oz glove, and from bottom to top, he always presents himself sharp-suited. To top off his outfit, he always has a luxury watch wrapped around his wrist.

Formal occasions: Pilar Smooth Burgundy/Black

 

Everyday wear: Classico Smooth Marinho

 

Something different: Santista Full-Grain Cognac

Thirties:

Fashion for men in their thirties can be varied, and while you can still get away with the trends, you can also start incorporating more classic styles into your wardrobe. With the perfect balance of youth and maturity on your side, you can pull off a range of styles.

Getting it right: Jake Gyllenhaal (36)

Often topping the best-dressed lists, Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t seem to be phased by the many red carpets he walks down.

Gyllenhaal has a great take on classic American style, but doesn’t shy away from mixing in a touch of whatever’s trendy.

Formal occasions: Tucano Mustang Black

Everyday wear: Cardoso Mustang Tobacco

Something different: Colorado Mustang Tobacco

Forties:

Dressing in your forties is all about developing your style, rather than going with trends and fashion. You want to pay more attention to the fit of your clothes and the colour tones that suit you. While you may experience your hair starting to thin, a shorter tapered style cut can flatter your features.

Getting it right: David Beckham (42)

Always dressed to impress in beautiful fitted suits and casual cool outfits, David Beckham proudly sports a distinctly British style.

Having mastered the art of dressing like a gentleman, he wears a sharp suit with as much cool as he does a pair of jeans and sweatshirt.

Formal occasions: Charles Smooth Bronze

Everyday wear: Gustavo Vintage Navy

Something different: Regalo Vintage Castor

Fifties:

Fashion for men over fifty is similar to men’s fashion over forty. Again, you want to focus on fit and colours rather than trends.

While trainers may sometimes be a little harder to pull off, smarter looking shoes such as loafers or Chelsea boots will work great for you. These can easily be mixed into your casual looks yet giving you a more mature, sophisticated edge.

Getting it right: George Clooney (56) and Johnny Depp (54)

While George Clooney knows how to dress smart and make a suit look simply fantastic, Johnny Depp knows how to incorporate hats and scarves to create a look that’s all his own.

The point here is that there is no single look that you have to go for when in your fifties – but whatever look you go for, make sure it’s yours to own.

Formal occasions: Steve Smooth Bronze

Everyday wear: Garibaldi Grey

Something different: Bilac Full-Grain Troy

Sixties and up

Gentlemen who are in their sixties and seventies have experienced many trends and fashion eras. By this stage in your life, you know what style works for you and you need to own this look.

Getting it right: Robert De Niro (74)

One of America’s best actors is also one of its best dressers. De Niro’s cinematic style has inspired designers and fashion plates around the world.

Every piece that De Niro wears, right down to the specially dyed socks and the period silk linings in the exquisitely tailored suits, is considered. He really inhabits the clothes that he wears.

Formal occasions: Steve Smooth Black

Everyday wear: Americana Full-Grain Black

Something different: Tornado Full-Grain Pinhao
