For the last part of the SS2011 MFW streetstyle series, here's a quick roundup of the shoes the men were spotted wearing.

(Above) Did a double take when I saw this. Did you notice the nude coloured band around his ankle?
(Below) A variety of patterned/coloured socks.

Going red all the way. The red shoes kinda reminds me of Mister Ronald McDonald. Haha.

Something I noticed from viewing street style images is that alot of the men in Paris and Milan tend to fold/roll up their pants to create a cuff. Not many guys in Singapore do that. Love the hem detail on the pants. When the wearer folds up the hem, instantly your eyes will be drawn to the striped cuff. Also, from far, it'll probably look like the pants has a striped hem detail. Subtle but striking.

I thought it was very interesting as to why the person actually decided to tie a couple of bandannas around his ankles. Have never seen anyone doing this before. And then there's the paint-splattered shoes which you would normally see on a construction worker or painter. Defintely something different.

Finally got a pair of brogues after months and months of deliberation; similar to the ones in the lower left corner of the 4-in-1 shot. I knew to come to this blog to get a perfect idea on how to wear them. Thanks :)
