are wingtipped oxfords good for suits?

or do you prefer just a plain one with no engravings, etc?

also always choose laces over no laced correct?

and do you think dark brown or light brown looks better?

Do you plan to use them exclusively for suits?

Are you going to be in a strictly formal setting?

If yes to either of these, you should probably pass and get plain-toed shoes.

I wear my wingtips occasionally with dress attire, but typically with jeans. Brogue is more of a casual look, but can be pulled off with a suit, etc in an office.

Mainly just for slacks, dress shoes and a tucked in dress shirt for semi-casual

And I'd like a pair for suits as well. But not sure if plain or the ones with engravings for them.

What do you think?

Also which color would go best with dark blue slacks and light gray slacks?

For slacks + shirt, no jacket, semi casual, brogues are good.

If you want a pair exclusively for dress/suits, get something plain like attached pic.

For dark blue/light gray, you should get a brown pair similar to the wingtips I posted.

+1 for brogue inspo. These are both my shoes - love both pairs and always get compliments at the office.

So for formal black shoes are always the go to like the ones you posted?

Leave the brown and oxford type of ones for the semi-casual?

Wait, sorry. What are brogues? They look exactly like wingtips in the OP

Yes, plain shoes for formal, brogue for any sort of casual at all. Occasionally, if you're going to pair the wingtips with the suit, it won't be a problem, but likely to be considered a faux-pas if you wear them to a formal dinner or something.

>>8276760
Brogue is the name of the pattern on the shoes - the little holes that create the design, etc.

Ah ok.

Gotcha. Always just see photos of people wearing oxfords in suits, etc. Guess the plain cleaner look will go better when its full formal.

Thanks a lot mate.

Going to buy a light brown and dark brown pair tomorrow.

When I dress up, I still wear brogues, but I wear extremely loud and bold patterns across the board.

If you're getting brogues, grab some loud socks and ensure your pants are at the right length to give no break. This way everyone sees the design and gets to see your killer socks.

You have to have a lot of confidence to pull it off, though.

I got all my pants altered for no break, I just wear plain socks that go with the shoes and blend in with the pants.

Not a fan of those screaming color socks with all them patterns

For a suit I think a captoed oxford with some light broging is best.
