If you think men’s fashion is limited, the selection at Nordstrom will force you to think again. Footwear is an excellent place for men to start developing their personal style. As Nordstrom proudly attests, formal shoes never have to be as simple as a pair of black dress shoes. Encouraging you to stray outside the ordinary, Nordstrom showcases blue Italian loafers as a break away from the expected. Besides, with so many variations of polished brown shoes, from boots to wingtips, Nordstrom makes it all too easy to try something new.
