    I didn't realize that it was actually a difference between those shoes. So what I actually did was one into the closet and put on a classic double-breasted pinstripe suit made by Hawes & Curtis with black oxfords and then switched over to the black derby, and I immediately saw the difference in the aesthetics..

    Mostly, I agree with you.
    I see the level of broguing and the coloration as having as much of an impact on formality as the lacing system.
    My most casual dress shoes are Allen Edmunds' Dalton. These are derby wingtip dress boots in Chili Shell Cordovan. These would look off with most suits. Since I tend to wear a blazer and contrasting pants these shoes work for most of my outfits.
    I'll even wear polished dressy western boots with a sport coat. They look wrong with suits.
    My most formal dress shoes are also from Allen Edmunds. These are the Carlyle in black. These Oxfords have no broguing or toe cap. Polished to a high shine they will work with black tie.

    Now, the shoes! Oxford for me. What is your take on Derby&Oxford shoes in suede? Later, could you also talk about the tassel moccasins (calfskin/cordovan/suede)? Thank you.

    • @AskOkeyInc
      @AskOkeyInc  6 місяців тому

      The Material use in making the shoes is irrelevant
      Suede oxfords are oxfords and so are suede derbies
      Some might use suede oxfords casually because of the fabric but I discourage that

    How much of a misstep is it to wear derby's with more formal office attire. While I appreciate the elegance of oxfords (especially wholecut oxfords) generally I prefer the look of derby shoes and boots.

    • @AskOkeyInc
      @AskOkeyInc  6 місяців тому +1

      Mer P,
      You will NOT get arrest and shot at the wall for wearing a derby with a suit 🤣🤣
      But Derbies are inherently casual and better reserved for either casual suits (think tweeds) or Sport Coats
      This is just tradition

    Hey Proff - shoe advice for those starting their careers? I say get 2 pair - one black, one cognac in classic style -if funds are tight. I agree with you: investment in your suit, belt, shirt, tie and shoe will give good ROI. But where is the smart money going?

    Thanks for making this distinction sir, I have struggled with it for a while. I don’t mind suits and trousers however i always preferred the more casual looks to it. I recently got into ties , I hate ties but I have been rocking ascots and cravats the more casual set of ties. I would really like to know more about dimensions, colours, cuts, brushes, pushes and collars, and all that so I can create a style that suits my personality sir. I would appreciate a response, I understand you are a very busy person so a non response is great as well.

    I model myself as a Classic ,classic Gentleman ( one step away from constantly wearing black suits and bow ties all of the time ). If I try to leave my home without wearing proper attire my front door becomes a Black hole of which I cannot escape and I am quickly sucked back in .wWth that being said I find it rather difficult to wear my Derby’s. Variety is a spice of life yes but I find that Balmorals always offers me respite from the Neutron star always with ease So for now all I can do is look at my Derby’s in the home.
