What Style Dress Shoes Should Every Man Own?

The most common and versatile style of dress shoe is the Oxford.

Every man should own at least one pair of classic, versatile dress shoes that can be worn in a variety of different situations, whether you’re wearing a suit to the office or attending a wedding. The most common and versatile style of dress shoe is the Oxford. Oxfords are characterized by their closed lacing system, which creates a sleek and formal look, making them ideal with tuxedos and business suits. They are typically made of leather and are available in a range of colors, from classic black and brown to more modern shades like burgundy and navy. Another style of dress shoes that every man should consider owning is the Derby, which is similar to Oxfords, but has an open lacing system, which makes them slightly less formal (though you can dress Derbies up or down), especially with a slim fit suit or a more relaxed classic fit suit.
