Moccasin for man: with suede comfort is at the service of elegance

The suede leather moccasin for man today is extremely topical, elegant and comfortable at the same time; It is therefore an essential accessory for the man who wants to surprise, without sacrificing the charm of tradition!

But what is suede? One thing is certain: this material is the absolute protagonist of comfortable shoes for men par excellence: the moccasins.

The most common mistake is to think that this material is made from chamois skin: it is produced using bovine leathers or mutton specially treated, so as to obtain a skin that touching it, recalls the softness of velvet. Another frequent mistake is to confuse it with the Alcantara, a synthetic fabric with very similar tactile characteristics.

 

By Native Americans to today’s catwalks: here is how it was born the suede

In fashion the suede appears for the first time as a Red Indian clothing. There were no major differences between the male and female clothing: jackets in buckskin, with leggings for him, moccasins for her.

Suede was then reinterpreted by designers of all ages, starting from the sixties (the famous suede mini-dresses), in which it was emphasized its particular softness, and later became one of the symbolic fabric of Hippie Culture of the Seventies. Bell-bottom pants and suede safari jackets become the famous leaders of this age, in every hippie wardrobe.

By “savages” seventies, the velours then crossed the Eighties resulting in oversize shapes and more theatrical and the nineties, with appearances by famous designers collections. These were the years of minimal and suede is used to express a more sophisticated style up to the present day.

In the twenty-first century is yet another transformation of this fabric, which is now the spokesperson for a new trend: a research no more of volumes, but extremely tactile and material, with more natural tones. The Suede now, in fact, dominates the scene in the male wardrobe of season: from the classic bomber  to the accessories, up to the total look: everything becomes covered with suede.

The argument divides: some claim that the Moccasins only should be worn barefoot, those who insist that they should be absolutely worn with socks.

If you really do not want to give up the socks, the right ones are strictly long and dark (blacks, blue, dark gray), the maximum is granted the ghosts that do not have to see each other at all.
