askawoman@dappered.com . – Beth: The saying is the first thing a woman notices about a man is his shoes.Â* As much as I like figuring out my own personal style, I’ve never been into owning a bunch of really nice shoes.Â* Any truth to this tired (or maybe true) saying?Â* And if it’s not the shoes, what do women notice first? - Corry Hi Corry, Honestly, I don’t think there are many women who notice a man’s shoes first.Â* We notice them eventually, that’s absolutely true.Â* Teeth, smile, skin, hair, whether your clothing <a href="http://www.afashionbuy.com/Handbags-Juicy-Handbag-f2-39-c3-17.html"><strong>Juicy Couture Outlet </strong></a> is clean, wrinkled, well-fitting, any of these areas probably get the once-over before we look at the shoes.Â* But yes, women notice shoes.Â* And we judge.Â* We judge your shoes. The good news is that we’re not expecting you to have “a bunch of really nice shoes.”Â* It’s neither practical nor economical for every guy out there to have an extensive collection of shoes.Â* If you’re climbing utility poles in work boots five days a week, why on earth would you need a closet full of expensive shoes?Â* (Though if you’re litigating in a courtoom five days a week, then <a href="http://www.afashionbuy.com/Handbags-Gucci-Handbag-f2-39-c3-18.html"><strong>Discount gucci bags on sale for cheap</strong></a> yes, you probably need–and we might expect you to have–a variety of good quality shoes.)Â* That said, women don’t want to see those work boots on the weekend or after you get off of work.Â* And save the running shoes for when you’re, you know, running. In an earlier draft of this week’s column (what? you write multiple drafts of this thing?Â* yes, nothing short of perfection for my fellas) I tried to make a list of what a basic, bare bones shoe wardrobe should have.Â* But I was adding all these <a href="http://www.afashionbuy.com/Handbags-Coach-Handbag-f2-39-c3-20.html"><strong>buying cheap coach handbags</strong></a> caveats depending on what climate you live in, how many vacations you take, whether you were a devoted follower of Lost, you know, all the critical demographic info, and it got a little complicated.Â* So I’ll just say this: a pair or two of nice dress shoes, a pair or two of nice sandals, a pair or two of loafers or boat shoes.Â* Fashion sneakers and boots would be great additions as well, but perhaps have less universal appeal. Corry, seeing as you’re someone who enjoys exploring style, I would encourage you to begin thinking about shoes as an integral part of your style.Â* Shoes can be as important as your choice of pants or the pattern on your tie. Plus…shoes are fun!Â* I think all of us here can agree that style is entertaining, otherwise we wouldn’t spend so much time and energy thinking about it, chatting about it, spending money on it.Â* Shoes are just one more area toward which you can direct that creative impulse. -Beth Got a question for Beth?
