For months now we’ve focused on the ‘Perfect Pair’ of shoes for women and today it’s the man’s turn. Pair the perfect FRYE combat boots for a day in the city or one in the wilderness (how manly!).
For the city boy: Match your Frye Rogans with deep green pants and a simple silkscreen print tee. Since you aren’t exactly the man-bag kind of guy, accessorize with a simple black and white watch.
For the rugged outdoorsman: Thermal pants, a knit sweater, and a weatherproof coat go best with your black boots. Since you’re so “manly” man-cessorize with a metal hinged cuff.

Most men need a little “guidance” in the fashion department, that’s why we’ve come up with a brief  ”combo pack” guide. Unlike women, men need socks daily and often have little to no idea how to mix and match their boot/shoe and sock combinations (we understand, it’s confusing).
If you aren’t the bold type, stick with grays and blacks, but if you’re feeling adventurous add a print in the mix — you’ll stand out and you’re sure to get compliments from the ladies (Possibly men too. We can’t guarantee anything). Start off simple and work your way to prints because it is not the easiest task even for the oldest fashion aficionado.

Take a minute and swoon over pastels will us will you? While we know it isn’t spring quite yet, we couldn’t resist the soothing hues of the pink, lilac, cream, and turquoise. We challenge you to find a more perfectly feminine ensemble!
The ‘perfect pair’ of BEBE Celia High Wedge Sandals may not be ‘perfect’ for those of us who currently live in New York but this is more of an early ode to Spring (or a daily outfit for warm weather Californians). The chunky pink knit sweater will rest so nicely atop the flowing multi-color maxi only to be topped with a leopard lilac and blush snood. We couldn’t stop there and went into pastel overload with the snakeskin clutch and pop of pink Marc Jacobs studs and turquoise raccoon tail.
Get a jump-start on Spring with DNA Footwear and BEBE.

What’s black and white and re(a)d all over? No it’s not a newspaper, it’s today’s ‘Perfect Pair’ featuring Nicole Heart Flats.
If you’re an avid magazine reader, you’re privy to the ravings of the flat/loafer/slipper trend. Come winter you’re required (by the fashion police) to store your sandals away and instead find comfort in smoking slippers. Since everybody is wearing their best leopard loafers we thought it’d only be fair to give the zebra print a shout out as well — we’re equal opportunists here at DNA Footwear.
The chic slip-on is crafted with pony hair, an accent tassel, and smooth leather lining. Your ‘Perfect Pair’ will be the added flair you need to spice up a clean black and white number, whether it be pants and knits or tights, shorts, and a blazer. If the zebra print is not wild enough for you, consider adding pops of red for a dynamite impact.
Who said comfort and stylish sophistication couldn’t go hand in hand?!

Today I feel like wearing booties. Nope, scratch that — I want to wear mid-calf boots!
If you’re as indecisive as I am when picking out boots, the Steven Brix High Wedge Bootie is perfect for you. The ‘Perfect Pair’ of boots work best with deep red skinny cords, a white tee, and a cropped leather jacket. Don’t forget the folded clutch and skull (feather?) earrings. Want to wear the boots again in the same week without making a total fashion faux pas? Unzip to full height and pair with knit leggings, blouse, and an ultra cozy coat. Further impress fall fanatics with a faux fur purse and gold knotted earrings.
What’s better than one ‘Perfect Pair’? A versatile TWO in ONE ‘Perfect Pair’

Baby, you’re one in a million (and your style should reflect it)!
Usually, our ‘Perfect Pair’ posts feature ONE shoe styled with TWO outfits but today we want to highlight the versatility of our selection. You’ve picked out your favorite fall outfit with a neutral palette and now it’s time to find that ONE in a million to fit your style.
Whether it be furry booties, clogs, a classic loafer, or embellished flat, the above outfit offers the ability to mix and match styles. Your muted color choices call for subtle colored footwear but this does not mean you have to stray from studs, buckles, prints, or fur. If you can’t choose between a high heeled boot or clog and flats, you don’t have to — transforming from day to night is easy with DNA Footwear’s wide selection!
One outfit meets millions of styles the DNA way.

‘Tis the season to color block with black and orange — The DNA Footwear team and Jeffrey Campbell are getting into the holiday spirit.
The ever-so-alluring Jeffrey Campbell Night Walk High Platform confuses and entices onlookers with its “phantom” heel. The rounded edges call for geometric hard lines to balance out the platform curvature. Hence today’s ‘Perfect Pair’ post, all of which is available at DSW, Net-a-Porter, Endless, Zappos, Far Fetch, Saks, and Bloomingdales.
{Outfit 1}
Off to a day in the city, an industry event, or a gallery opening? No matter where the day or night takes you, pair your Night Walk High Platforms with an orange fitted blazer, blue trousers, a tucked-in black long-sleeve shirt, and geometric bag and earrings. Warning: This outfit is only for the most adventurous fashion enthusiast.

A little less over the top than outfit 1, outfit 2 again follows our orange motif with a slinky dress, geometric necklace and earrings, and woven clutch. While this outfit isn’t as over-the-top as the first, it is subtly attention-grabbing.

Don’t know how to wear fringed boots? Only DNA can help you find TWO (not just one but TWO) outfit options to pair with your ‘Perfect Pair’ of Good Choice Sundance High Wedge Booties.
Look 1:
Pair your Good Choice wedges with a classic nude cape and deep red leggings for warmth (using the term warmth lightly). Don’t forget to accessorize the outfit with a simple satchel and gold tribal embellished hoops.
Look 2:
Not a cape kind of gal? Make a statement with an army green jumpsuit, woven clutch, and ANOTHER pair of tribal earrings — Apparently we have an affinity for tribal today and so should YOU!

The leaves are beginning to change and there is a slight chill in the air, meaning it’s time to break out your grey Mustang ankle boots. These distressed beauties add a hard edge to your outfit, as if you were on your way to rangle a wild mustang!
Outfit your ‘Perfect Pair’ with deep green skinnies, a cozy sweater, and layer on a fur vest for extra warmth (and style). If skinnies aren’t your cup of tea, opt for a lighter fall outfit — a feminine lace dress and the perfect gold and mustard accessories.
While carrying a handbag decked out in gold jewelery isn’t for every cowgirl, this gal likes to ride in style and you can too with Mustang’s High Heel Ankle Boots!

Add some boho to your life with the perfect pair of fringed Minnetonka boots. From Minnetonka’s boots to their classic moccasins, the Minnetonkas we wear today are essentially the same as the first American shoe (with slightly more style). Even after all these years, the brand remains true to their original designs and are worn all over the world by people with differening styles and tastes.
Pair your Minnetonkas with knit shorts or tribal print leggings, a white tank or tee, a printed or fringed bag, and an assortment of feathered accessories. While they are not the most transitional boots for night attire, they are perfect for a day in the city, the country, or for camping in the woods (which I don’t know why you’d do unless you were attending a musical festival).
Since their inception in 1964, Minnetonka Moccasin has shaped the moccasins place in history — proving the cyclical nature of fashion.
