Dudes and their Diors

[averagejoe]

My new Dior Homme Derby shoes. I LOVE how sleek they look! I finally have a pair of Dior Homme dress shoes!

And a little treat from Luisaviaroma: A Dior Homme bow tie. It has a contrast white satin lining which gives an otherwise normal looking bow tie the perfect edge

Gorgeous, gorgeous pieces, AJ! I love the Cuff Me Dior bracelet; it fits you perfectly, too! The shoes are beyond awesome (I'm a shoe lover for both sexes, so I really appreciate fine shoes), and the bow tie is just exquisite! Thank you for sharing your own collection pieces here with us! Such a treat for the eye!

Thanks tutushopper! I was never really a shoe lover; it was always bags and belts for me, until I bought my first pair of fine shoes. Then there was no going back, especially when it comes to dress shoes!

I know that the Cuff Me Dior is actually for women, but it can work on men depending on how it's dressed. I was hesitant at first because it looks quite feminine, but after looking at it a few times, I had to have it! Camille Miceli's Dior jewelry designs are too irresistible to pass, even for guys.

Here's my collection of Dior bracelets, all originally made for women, but can work for men as well:

(I included a picture of me wearing all three at once on one wrist, but I would only wear them one at a time when I actually use them)

Following in the footsteps of Hightea_xx and eminere (http://forum.purseblog.com/dior-ref...akeup-clothing-and-accessories-709364-14.html), I got my own Cuff Me Dior bracelet. I love the Dior oval and I finally have a piece that has this oval!

Nice! Where did you score this? I'm about to add the single row also in black to my collection.

Twinsies on this one. They are a permanent classic style.

Great choice of bow tie - this shape is very distinctive from Dior Homme, and I like the bicolour.

I can't believe you have the Gaucho bracelet! That to me will forever be the one that got away. Absolutely loved that bracelet but unfortunately we never stocked it in Australia.

I got it on Ebay. Dior at Holts in Toronto has severely limited stock on jewelry, and I haven't seen this here. I would love to get a single row version in black, because it can be more discreet when I don't want to make such a big statement.

Aren't they some of the nicest dress shoes? I had buyer's remorse when I got them because they were very expensive, especially in comparison to my other dress shoes, but I told myself that I NEEDED a pair from Dior, and after taking the out of the box at home, I thought that they were meant to be mine

Yeah I love the shape with a bit of asymmetry, and the bicolour makes it much more than a simple bow tie. I've wanted a nice bow tie for a while, and I keep browsing Holts each season to see rather lack-lustre ones from Gucci, Paul Smith, and Giorgio Armani. I almost bought a Gucci one during this seasonal sale online, but I couldn't because it wasn't distinctive enough. This Dior one just met all my criteria.

I can't believe you have the Gaucho bracelet! That to me will forever be the one that got away. Absolutely loved that bracelet but unfortunately we never stocked it in Australia.

I saw it here in the bronze leather version from another PF member and I thought that I HAD to have it. Funny how I have never come across the leather one afterwards, but came across this metal one instead, and it was love at first sight!

Haha I was going to say the Diors are the cheapest dress shoes I own.

My favourite brand for shoes remains Dolce&Gabbana but this style from Dior Homme is pretty neat. It's not quite so pointy as Dolce&Gabbana typically are but nevertheless has a very sharp silhouette. The only quibble I have with the Diors are that they are a fairly narrow cut so if you have broader feet it can hurt after a while. Going up a size solves this problem.

I got most of my dress shoes on sale (i.e. during Gucci's seasonal sales, Holt's sales, etc.) so these Diors are more expensive for me. Being that they are from my favourite brand, though, I had to get a pair. Plus they are impossible to find in Canada so I snap up Dior Homme stuff whenever I can.

I got a pair of Dolce and Gabbana shoes recently as well on sale and I'm not sure if I want to keep them. I don't know about their quality, and they are a bit small for me (a bit tight on my smallest toe) although they don't have a silhouette that's as sharp as, say, DSquared (they have some pointy shoes, that brand). I got the last pair so there's no other size I can switch to.

From the fact that you really like your DG shoes, I'm guessing that their quality is stellar. This may help me decide with my DG shoes.

Oh I live in my Dolces. For a long period of time my work and dress shoe wardrobe was exclusively Dolce.

Funny you should mention DSquared2 - I still regret never being able to get my hands on their fabulous pointed shoes from FW08:

Thanks for sharing; those are also fabulous! Doesn't matter if they were meant for men or women. I actually tried on the Dior VIII tonight in the black (and likely going back for it tomorrow) even though it was designed more for men. So, we go with what we like.

DSquared had pointy shoes for SS2013. They also came with orange, and with silver. I LOVE the silver caped toe ones! There is an all black patent version as well.

Sounds like you're a die-hard Dolce fan!

True. The Dior VIII, like the Christal and D de Dior, borrows a man's watch for it's masculine strength and makes it dazzle with diamonds, sapphires, and ceramic for a feminine touch. I saw the black Dior VIII with rose gold and it was to die for. At $27,500 CDN at Holt Renfrew for the 33mm, it was way out of reach for me, but it was nice to see such a beautiful watch.

Which Dior VIII caught your fancy? Was it a 33mm or 38mm, and was it white or black ceramic?

I like the silver toecap style but I'm not a fan of the chunky soles.

It was the black, and I believe it was the 38mm, but it was late, which is why I have to go back to choose when my mind is fresh. I just loved the look, it fit well with my style, and also stacks up well with my Cartier Love bracelet.

I hope you take one home. It's an awesome watch! I love how the case-back looks so beautiful even though no one other than the wearer sees it.
