I bought a pair of these many years ago and they just keep looking better and better with age. Dress shoes are defined by their minimalist nature. The less brogue, the more dressy the smoother the leather, the more dressy Black is most dressy of all colors Blucher vamp (derby) shoes are less dressy than Balmoral vamp(oxford in UK) The jist of it all is the cleaner the lines, shape and leather, the more dressy. In the business setting, you can get away with some brogueI and color variations and even certain Blucher vamp shoes. Oh and avoid square toe, at all cost!!
