There is a long list of clothing that you can style with your favorite blazer. One of them (and probably the favorite of the people from Nordic countries) is the equally loved and hated turtleneck. Up until recently turtlenecks had a misguided reputation for being frumpy and unflattering.

How to care for your shoes
There are some essential steps for keeping your LGFG leather shoes looking fresh for an extended period of time.
Firstly, and to the surprise of some who haven’t been informed on this, leather shoes should not be worn on consecutive days. Often we don’t see the shoes in the same way we do shirts or pants for example, yet many of wouldn’t wear the same one of those on back to back days. Shoes need a good day to breathe and dry off in between wearings (from both internal and external moisture), and for this reason having multiple pairs of “go-to” shoes will drastically increase the life of the shoes and in the long run save you money. When you take your shoes off, DO NOT dry them using a radiator or some alternative source – let them dry naturally, best of all on a shoe tree. Continue reading “How to care for your shoes” »

We really love the brave men who are not afraid to play with different fashion styles and of course colors!

We look to monochrome. Continue reading “Monochrome Mode: ON” »

Summer may bring its occasions to walk around in our favorite pair of sneakers or flip flops but in the Fall we have to put on our adult shoes.
A great shoe can really make or break almost any look. Whether you are heading to an important business meeting, being dragged to a wedding this fall or are asked to a last minute black-tie event – your shoes and the condition of them are of utmost importance.
We are proud to introduce the new LGFG Fashion House autumn/winter 2015 handcrafted shoe collection which is all about city smart. Serious sartorial style is layered into each pair of these men’s smart shoes, lace ups, ankle boots and brogues. The ankle boot was one of the strongest footwear items on mens fashion week designer fashion shows this season.

Next to the classical black and different shades of brown there are some surprise guests at this party: mystical green, plum tone purple and fabulous fuchsia. Also you’ll find some amazing textures like the croc print as well in this season’s new releases!
So here are the dress shoes all men should wear this fall, because let’s face it, it’s probably time for an upgrade. Flip through our favorite formal shoes for men this season and get ready to be impressed.
