Brogues
Brogue shoes were initially designed to serve a purpose very different from what it does today. The characteristic holes found in your typical brogue shoes were initially designed to facilitate water drainage in case your shoes got wet while trying to cross swamps and bogs in the rainy terrain of Ireland. Although initially, a shoe style meant to keep water out, the brogue has now evolved into a timeless fashion statement.
Perhaps the best way to sport the style is to opt for something in the middle, so we suggest getting your hands on a pair of versatile half brogues that feature only a perforated toe cap. For formal settings, deep hues like black and dark brown work best. For a more casual outlook, opt for a lighter tone like camel or tan. They pair brilliantly well with a suit, but they are not the shoe to wear to a black tie event. The greater the area covered on your shoe with the perforated pattern, the less formal it will be.
Chukka Boots
These boots are the most versatile shoes today. They feature an ankle-high boot with a round toe and lacing eyelets, usually two or tree. They are the elegant counterpart of sneakers. If you are looking to make an investment, the safest and most versatile bet on chukkas has to be the classic cream or tan colored chukka. They work brilliantly well with a simple pair of chinos, khaki pants or jeans paired with a simple button-down shirt or a polo shirt. The perfect way to also mute down an outfit, you can easily wear chukkas with an outfit if you feel like it is verging on the more formal end of the spectrum and clashing with the social setting.
Trainers
Oh trainers.. we know you might have heard of them right?. Well, that’s for good reason, they are on trend right now and with a color that has stood the test of time. You can never go wrong with white. Trainers are the perfect pair for casual wear. Pair them with jeans, chinos and exercise clothes.
