Finding the perfect pair of formal shoes is not an easy feat. Take it from me – I’ve worn sizes both too tight and too wide during my days of formal presentations in polytechnic. But #adulting also means you’ll need dress shoes that will last you through work, weddings and other black-tie affairs.
To help with your very own male Cinderella moment, Earnest & Collective is having a week-long pop-up event from 29th July- 4th August 2019. Expect a wide range of shoes from oxfords to loafers, accessories, and discount promos that your wallet will be grateful for.
Here are some of the shoes you can expect to try on:
If you live by Barney Stinson’s motto of suiting up, then you’ll need shoes to go along with that. And a classic that never goes out of style: the Carnegie II. In all its sleek black leather glory, this pair will complement any formal OOTD you’ve got planned.
Besides looking like a stunner, it’s got practical features like a round toe front so you can have wiggle room, plus friction-control soles to ensure a good grip on any kind of flooring.
If you feel like switching up your usual monochrome style, they also come in various colours like Burnished Rust and Oxblood.
Sometimes, tying shoelaces are a pain amirite? Slip-ons make rushing out the door for your already-late appointment much easier, and you don’t have to worry about them coming loose mid-way through the day either.
The Berkshire II loafers are a great way to up your style. The woven rope feature on the sides and front tassel are unique finishings with a dash of sophistication. The best part – they not only look great with formal wear but can also be paired with chinos and smart berms for smart-casual settings like a garden brunch.
Besides, you don’t necessarily need to sift through your laundry for a matching pair of socks since you can basically still look dapper without ‘em.
This one is for the fashionably fearless. The Maddox features double monk straps to secure your fit, and get this – a crisscrossed woven pattern around the front and sides. They give the pair an elevated textured detail, and will undoubtedly inject confidence to your overall ensemble.
Sure, it may not be for everyone – but those that can pull it off will appreciate the unconventional design. Plus, it’s a great conversation starter with your colleagues.
The Maddox is also a brand new model from Earnest & Collective that will be launched at the pop-up event, so don’t miss out on being one of the first to own these!
Earnest & Collective shoes are usually only available online and priced from just $139 but for 1 week only, they’ll be on display so you can try them on and take them home at discounted rates. No need to lug around the shoebox either – every shoe purchase will be delivered straight to your doorstep.
Head down to the indoor pop-up at Basement 2 of Tanjong Pagar Centre (Guoco Tower) from 29th July-4th August 2019 and stock up on your formal footwear and accessories. With belts, socks and leather goods like cardholders also available, your wardrobe will be spiffed up for any future occasions.
Make sure to gather your office buds or your fellow friends and relatives too – the more you splurge, the higher savings you’ll enjoy! Here’s how the tiered discount works:
