A few weeks ago I asked ‘how high CAN you go?’ which was a series of suggestions of how high imho you should go dependent on different factors. But this is a different one. It assumes that you go high already and from time to time think “hmmm could I get another inch – or so!” If the options were available that looked cool, how high WOULD you go if you knew that it was no more detectable than wearing boots that are already the higher elevators. Specially if you are already up there with the 4″ or 5″ styles, and it was working for you.
Your wedding day is among the most important days of your life. As such, you’ll need to dress accordingly. This means creating an ensemble that speaks to you in more ways than one. While a suit or tuxedo is a given for the big day, you’ll also need a pair of wedding shoes that are both sleek and sophisticated. A luxurious pair of wedding elevator shoes is a stellar option for compiling an effortlessly sophisticated look you’ll remember forever. Whether your personal style leans timeless or trendy, a pair of wedding elevator shoes is a great way to ensure you look and feel your best on your day.
One question I often get (and think about myself quite a bit) is based on wearing elevators with shorts. In fact it seems to me that guys ask slightly different questions but in the end really want to know one thing – ‘bearing in mind they are more exposed, what can I get away with in terms of height addition in my footwear when I want to wear shorts?’ Often guys fear suddenly going from days and nights wearing 3” or 4” elevators and suddenly BANG – down flat in Converse or Vans. “Aaaargh, suddenly I look SHORT”. And they do not want to stop wearing shorts even if it is just occasionally.
Who do you tell you are adding height? The simple answer to that really IS “no-one”. There is the old saying: “If you tell one person, you have told the world” and when it comes to personal things, people love to gossip even more. The problem is that gossip about people’s personal lives and appearance seems irresistible. But of course set against all that is the fact that many people are not good at discretion or polite concealment – there is a general desire to tell people everything about themselves (on social media etc), which is probably every bit as unhealthy as wanting to hide everything. But unless you are that rare kind of guy who is not bothered that people know he adds height (“I bought some lovely 4” elevators, they make me look really tall” – I have never met one of these guys yet, btw), then I have some rules for you as to how to keep it real while making sure that no-one ever knows. So I start from the perspective of probably almost every guy that has added height and/or bought a pair of elevators – I want to make myself seem taller but at the same time not to look like I am trying to. I also frankly pretty much dread anyone actually knowing or even guessing.
From the scorching hot weather, to the unmistakable comfort factor, there are many reasons why men opt for shorts once the spring and summer seasons hit. While a stylish pair of shorts can prove an indispensible part of your wardrobe during times of rising temperatures, many men encounter limitations when wearing this timeless summer staple. Luckily, times have changed, and a new set of emerging trends has made wearing shorts easier than ever before. If you’re a modern man who’s recently discovered the benefits of elevator shoes, don’t worry: there are many ways to rock shorts with elevator shoes this season, ensuring a sleek, sophisticated look ideal for all of spring and summer’s casual events.
One of the practical issues when you wear elevators is that they DO have some impact on the type of pants or jeans you might wear. It is not as great an impact as you might think (unless you are going for 4” or 5” elevators) but there are some general lessons you need to understand, specially if you haven’t really done much height addition before.
