How to style office shoes

Office shoes should disappear into the outfit — until someone notices how clean they are. Start with a well-fitted Oxford or Derby in black or deep brown.

Pair with tailored trousers that break lightly on the shoe. Avoid excessive stacking. A slim leather belt in a matching tone finishes the line.

For Nairobi heat, breathable socks in a tone close to your trousers keep the look intentional without adding bulk.
