The Best Dress Shoes For Men
What defines a dress shoe? From the classic brogue to suede moccasins, owning a pair of men's smart shoes is more essential than ever this season.
Oxfords, the most timeless of dress shoes, are an institution of formalwear and should be a part of any man’s wardrobe. The versatile Oxford can be dressed up or down for formal and daily wear.
The Derby is similar to the Oxford (distinguished by its open lacing) and is considered a more casual dress shoe. A pair of Derbies can slot into near-enough any wardrobe. They’ll let you level-up laid-back looks, and relax stuff that’s smart.
For an alternative to a laced dress shoe, a pair of snaffle-trimmed loafers will add a certain panache to any outfit.
The Timeless Derby
Sometimes you just can't beat a classic. The Derby dress shoe is a timeless hero style detailed with a wider silhouette; boasting an open lacing system with facings that are stitched on top of the vamp. Considered to be slightly less formal than an Oxford, this go-to style is an effortless way to amplify your formal look. Crafted from premium leather Salisburry truly is an investment style that will transcend seasons.
The Snaffle-Trim Loafer
A quality men's loafer is an essential addition to any formal shoe collection and, thanks to its equal measures of comfort and flair, it’s particularly well-suited to tailoring. Boasting our bespoke ‘DD’ snaffle trim, our Surveyy loafers are perfect for special occasions, whether paired with a suit or slim-fit trousers, they’re a timeless style worth investing in.
The Patent Loafer
Invented and popularised in the 1960s, the beloved saddle silhouette is supposedly named after the piece of leather that is superimposed on the instep and that has the shape of a saddle. This men's loafer style has since made its mark as a key smart dress shoe to add timeless flair to all forms of tailoring. Crafted from patent leather Sterlling is a sleek and versatile option that will pair seamlessly with just about any outfit.
