大人の足元を格上げする──メンズモカシンの魅力と失敗しない選び方・コーデ術

What is the appeal of men's moccasins? Casual shoes for adults that can be worn daily.

Choosing shoes is an essential topic when talking about fashion. Among them, men's moccasins are a special pair that combine casualness and elegance.

These are versatile shoes that can be used for everything from relaxing on the weekend to casual outings. I've been wearing moccasins for a long time, so I'll be introducing the comfort that only moccasins offer and how to choose the right pair.


What are moccasins? Learn about the classic men's shoes

Moccasins are shoes that have their roots in the shoes originally worn by Native Americans. Their most distinctive feature is their unique construction, where a single piece of leather is wrapped around the instep and sewn together in a U-shape. This design has been passed down to the present day, and they are now a classic shoe loved all over the world.

The appeal of the "men's moccasins" is that they combine the casual feel of sneakers with the formality of loafers. They blend naturally with a relaxed style on the weekend, a quick outing, and even office casual wear, so having a pair is extremely versatile.

Furthermore, the more you wear moccasins, the more they will fit your feet, so you can enjoy developing them into a pair that is uniquely yours over time. They are truly a shoe that is "classic yet expresses your individuality."

Why choose men's moccasins?

"Why do so many men choose moccasins?" There are several reasons.

Lightness and softness

Moccasins are generally made of soft leather, which gives them a snug fit that hugs your feet. They are comfortable even when you first put them on, and their appeal is that they cause little stress even when walking for long periods of time.

Wide range of coordination

It goes well with casual denim and chinos, as well as linen and wool pants. It's not too casual, but it's also perfect for a wide range of occasions, as it strikes a perfect balance between being neither too casual nor too formal.

Create an adult atmosphere

They give off a more subdued impression than sneakers, but are not as formal as leather shoes. Their exquisite style creates a sophisticated, sophisticated look for any age or occasion. In particular, their basic design, which can be worn in any season, makes them a great ally for everyday wear.

To be honest, at first I thought sneakers would be enough. However, when I was looking for shoes that would be comfortable to walk in while traveling, I came across moccasins. I was surprised by the soft leather and light feel, and since then I've been using both sneakers and moccasins interchangeably.

It is especially essential for days when you want to walk for a long time but take it easy, such as when driving or shopping.

Recommended materials and colors for men's moccasins

Although they are all called moccasins, the impression they give varies greatly depending on the material and color. By choosing a pair that suits your style, you can find a pair that will give you greater satisfaction.

How to choose materials

The fun thing about moccasins is that you can mix and match materials and colors to create a pair that is uniquely your own.

How to Choose the Right Moccasins


When choosing men's moccasins, it's important to consider not only the design but also the comfort and the occasion in which you'll be using them. Here are some points to keep in mind:

The size is a little tight

Leather stretches as you wear it, so if you choose a size that's a little tight at first, it will become the perfect fit.

Sole thickness and cushioning

Thin soles are light and nimble, but if you want to be comfortable walking, choose a sole with cushioning. This is especially important for walking around town or traveling.

Check the carefulness of the stitching

The stitching is part of the design of moccasins, and if the seams are crooked, they can look cheap.

Colours to match your wardrobe

If you usually wear a lot of denim, brown or beige is better, and if you wear a lot of monochrome, black or navy is better.

Choose based on the scene

You will be less likely to make a mistake if you imagine the situation in which you will use it, such as a simple leather type if you are going to use it both on and off the job, or a suede type if you are looking for a more relaxed look.

Additional points and tips for coordinating your outfit <br>To avoid using too many similar tones, try using a contrasting color somewhere on your top or bottom to create a more refined look.
If your feet are light colors (beige or sax), you can balance the outfit by adding accents in dark colors or by adding accessories in a contrasting color.

Black is a relatively easy color to match, so it has the advantage of being able to be used with any color of clothing.
Matching the material to the season will reduce the appearance of incongruity (e.g. Sax → light materials such as cotton or linen, Black → wool or twill, etc.).
