By Antonio Montano

Are you one of those men who wears all types of shoes and sneakers, regardless of their age? Big mistake. You should know that when one reaches the age of 40, there are certain rules that you must follow in matters of footwear and not wear anything that we find in our closet or in a department store. What shoes to avoid when you reach this age? We tell you:

#1: Loafers in Bold Colors

When you reach 40 years old, the most advisable thing —in terms of fashion— is to navigate through neutral, sober and dark colors and this tip covers clothing and footwear; especially if they are men's dress shoes or loafers. This will help you show a mature, elegant and sophisticated image. Now, if you are insistent and want to continue using bright colors, it is better to choose key garments such as a handkerchief, socks or another garment that adds chromatic sparkles in a successful way to your look. Not in the shoes.

#2: Sturdy high top sneakers with bright colors

Don't worry, the use of tennis at 40 is allowed. However, we recommend that when you buy ones that are a little more serious aesthetic and that are not boots. Moreover, if they are made of leather, the better. As for the colors, rest assured that there will be no margin of error with the whites and blacks. So you can conclude that this type of tennis, like the Nike Air Jordans, are better for younger men.

#3: Pastel Sneakers

Returning to the previous point, we mention that the colors in tennis that will look best on you are white and black. You can also oscillate between navy blue, grays, brown and beige. As you can see, pastel shades are out of this list, as they could give you a very childish and too cute look. You don't want that, do you? Stay as far away from pastel pink, mint, lavender, and baby blue in your footwear.

#4: Two-Tone Shoes

If you review the trends of the types of shoes that you should wear in 2022, you will realize that two-tone shoes come with force, as it is a good alternative to make your outfit much more interesting and eccentric. Obviously, this style is more optimal for all those men who are under 40; When you get to the fourth step, it is best to always look for the most elegant and formal option. There will be no mistakes if you choose black or brown formal shoes, full stop.

#5: Studded Shoes

Another trend in men's shoes that, if you decide to choose it over your 40 years, we can assure you that it will look like you are in disguise and the only thing you will achieve is that you look ridiculous. If you were punk or very alternative in your youth, we advise you to keep that style and way of dressing in the closet, and better opt for simpler and less scandalous clothes. At 40, less is more.

#6: Sturdy boots in bright colors

Choosing this type of boots in your outfit will only cause people to think that you are a chavorruco. Dr. Martens boots were perfect for your youthful years, between 20 and 35. If you decide to wear them in your 40s, everyone will look at you for the wrong reasons, especially if you wear them in bright colors like red, white or green . Conclusion: how should a man between 40 and 49 dress? Sober, elegant and formal.
