Summer Weddings Are Coming: How to Choose the Perfect Men’s Shoes

Summer is approaching—and with it, wedding season. Whether you’re attending a chic ceremony or preparing to be the groom, your outfit—and especially your men’s wedding shoes—will play a key role.

At GS Douville, Montreal’s luxury menswear boutique, we regularly guide our clients in selecting the perfect dress shoes. Here are some tips, featuring our signature brand Crockett & Jones, to ensure you step out in style on the big day.

Choosing Shoes Based on the Type of Ceremony

For a relaxed or countryside wedding, consider suede shoes, loafers, or soft leather derby shoes.

For a formal wedding (black tie), opt for a high-end one-cut Oxford, like the Crockett & Jones Alex, or a straight-toe Oxford such as the Connaught, both available at GS Douville on Laurier.

The Star of the Ceremony

If you’re a guest at an elegant wedding, you can choose slightly bolder Crockett & Jones shoes, perhaps with perforations or suede details.

If you’re the groom, our advice at GS Douville Montreal: stick to classic, understated elegance. True refinement means enhancing your outfit while letting your partner shine.

Invest in a Pair That Lasts

We believe a quality pair of men’s dress shoes should never be worn just once. For formal events, civil ceremonies, or gala evenings, a carefully chosen pair of Crockett & Jones shoes will become a cornerstone of your wardrobe.

A Little Shine Goes a Long Way

A quality polish—or even a custom shine performed in-store—will breathe new life into your Crockett & Jones shoes the day before the wedding.
