As the days grow shorter and the leaves turn to all shades of red this autumn, make sure your footwear stays bang up to date for the season. This year there are a number of key trends you can adapt to suit your usual style, and there is a type of shoe out there to complement any outfit.

It was big news in the summer, this year the naval trend continues well into the autumn months too, and boat shoes are the perfect footwear for the last few weeks of sunshine. Boat shoes create a laid back, quirky look and are an essential addition to any fashionable man's wardrobe. This casual footwear is a versatile choice and looks great teamed with either jeans, chinos or khakis, for a dressed down style.

The more dapper gentleman about town may favour the brogue. A timeless classic yet somehow the brogue still brings any outfit smoothly into this autumn season's trends. Brogues come in a variety of colours and materials, so whether you are aiming for understated cool or you want to stand out from the crowd, you are sure to find a pair that suit the occasion perfectly. Wear them for work with a slim line or pinstripe suit, or chunkier styles compliment straight leg dark jeans.

Plimsolls and trainers are a great look with a sporty edge, and even Jimmy Choo has embraced the sporty trend in his new range for this autumn. A pair of stylish trainers are ideal for laid-back daytime city living, whilst teamed with a smart outfit at night, they can give off a cool vibe. Plimsolls are easy to wear and comfortable, whilst trainers give high impact and come in a variety of colours and styles.

A sturdy pair of boots is a great investment for the coming colder months when the weather can be unpredictable and you want to keep dry. Quality should always be prioritised since a good pair of boots will stay in your wardrobe for many years to come. Although practical, boots need not be dowdy with so many different styles and colours to choose from. Black ankle boots are a sophisticated and classy choice, and they are great for office wear and easily make the transition to a bar for after work drinks. Lace up brown or tan boots are an easy to wear option for the weekend and go with virtually anything.

Keep your feet stylish this autumn with men's shoes that embrace current trends.
