It’s high time to take a risk and step outside of your comfort zone, so go ahead and step right into a pair of monk strap shoes or boots. This fall, monk straps will be trending in a way American audiences aren’t accustom to just yet. Monk straps are not traditionally American shoes — not at all, to be exact — and most American men shy away from anything with buckles, let alone monk straps. Meanwhile, Italians (those international men of style) wear them with nonchalant ease. Conversely, there is nothing nonchalant about them.There's no reason to be timid wearing these shoes; they are the crème de la crème and demand demeanor. You want to wear them with your best tailored suit on formal occasions, for they look their sharpest with a tailored pant. When you want to keep a more casual vibe, try a suede monk strap. Warning to readers: They are expensive — monk straps range from $300 for a basic pair to $750 for luxury labels such as Salvatore Ferragamo. But, like most serious style pieces, they’re a worthy investment.
