One of the most iconic ways a man can stand out is to make a statement with his style. Now, this isn’t as easy as it sounds. Most of the time, if a man doesn’t know what he is doing when he goes to make a statement, he goes overboard. Colors, patterns, textures, they can all work together or battle each other out for attention and cause problems. For instance, wearing a bright color combined with a crazy pattern can make you look more like an optical illusion than a stylish man. You look like you are cosplaying The Joker instead of methodically piecing together pieces that are working together to give an outfit depth. One of the tricks I have always loved to incorporate with my looks is a statement shoe. A typical everyday outfit can be elevated easily with a shoe standing out with color or pattern. One of my favorite brands to go to when I want to do that is TAFT. They are the best in the game for a statement shoe, and their new edit is a way to capitalize on that idea.
Limited edition in four styles

TAFT’s new Longhorn Edit takes the style of Italian craftsmanship and uses it to reinvent the western look that has been having a moment for the last few years. Maybe you want to thank Yellowstone. Maybe you want to give credit to Landman. Whatever, Taylor Sheridan is likely the one to look to. Whoever is responsible, now that the trend is here, there is no better way to incorporate that look into your look than a shoe. TAFT released a distinctive dappled haircalf leather inspired by Longhorn hide in four of their signature silhouettes. The Dylan Jodhpur Boot, The Glen Chelsea Boot, The Jack Penny Loafer, and The Luke Driving Loafer, all bestsellers for TAFT, are now available with the striking brown dapple. The boots showcase the pattern on the back, giving a subtle elegance to the chelsea and wrapped boots. While the loafers contain the look on the top of the shoe for a more in-your-face look.
All four are available on TAFT’s website and at Nordstroms.
