Planning a new year’s celebration? Start 2018 off on the right foot in a pair of boots, loafers, sneakers, brogues or other styles for the night.
Now, don’t think you need to sip champagne the way Cary Grant did in tails and patent leather pumps. Today, fashion norms are disappearing as millennials to baby boomers continue to opt for more relaxed casual wear day and night.
Ever consider partying in a pair of sneakers, ankle boots or faux fur-trimmed soccer slides? These alternative footnotes are acceptable just about anywhere and with anything, as long as you keep the color palette basic black.
Here, Footwear News has some alternatives to the tuxedo pump.
