For a while now, the construction/workman style boot has been plodding the streets and avenues of many a city, bringing utility, comfort and a built-to-last sort of sensibility to men’s sartorial propensities. Much like your favorite pair of loafers that seem to go with everything, the workman boot is more than capable of achieving the very same results.
Having established this serviceable aesthetic, refrain from making things look exaggerated. Do not extend this sensibility to a full wardrobe furnished by Carharrt. Leave it to the avant-garde and runway shows to exaggerate a fashion point of view.
In the office, on the weekend, snow or rain, these heavy-duty shoes are never unwieldy to work with. Just keep the colors and styles basic.
Opt for a classic pair like Red Wings or Gorillas and you will find how well these go with denim, khakis, chambray and even herringbone. For a dressier look, a tie or tweed blazer can be paired resulting in an ensemble that is seriously cool.
