As with many styles of formal shoe, brogues are highly versatile, suiting both casual and smarter attire.
There are different styles of brogue shoes, which include:
Full Brogue – The full brogue is the most iconic brogue style, with serrated and perforated seams and edges and the patterned toe cap.
Semi Brogue – The semi brogue has the same patterned toe cap as the full brogue, but only has a serrated and perforated edge along the toe cap rather than on all the seams and edges.
Quarter Brogue – The quarter brogue has no toe cap pattern, just the serrated and perforated edge at the toe cap.
Choosing the right brogue style for your outfit is often the first thing fashion conscious men look for – different styles tend to better suit certain looks or outfits. And it’s important to get it right.
Here are some of our favorite brogues from our new collection of shoes.
1) Tucano (Mustang Black & Mustang Tobacco)
You may be familiar with our Tucano range – a popular brogue style amoung sophisticated men with a good sense of style. If you’ve ever worn a pair, you’ll know that the Tucano brogue is highly comfortable thanks to our unique Anatomic Gel Technology.
But what sets our Tucano men’s leather brogue apart from any other you ask?
With its distinctive stitching (waxed thread for waterproofing) and contrasting England Rubber Gel sole, you’re bound to make an impression, but it’s not until you slide them on and feel their soft natural leathers and cushioned sheepskin lining until you really feel the benefits.
All that’s left to do now is pick a colour! The Tucano shoe is now available in Mustang Black and Mustang Tobacco.
2) Pilar (Smooth Burgundy/Black & Vintage Graphite/Burgundy)
Our Pilar range is another example of fine craftsmanship. Now also available in Smooth Burgundy/Black and Vintage Graphite/Burgundy, the Pilar brogue is for the man who is looking to build their look from the ground up.
An Oxford shoe, best characterised by “closed lacing”, its distinctive two-toned leather finish and contrasting hand-stitched welt is sure to get heads turning.
4) Charles (Smooth Black, Smooth Bronze & Smooth Castanho)
Stylish, comfortable and suitable for all occasions, the Charles men’s leather brogue will help you polish off loads of your looks. Lightweight and flexible, thanks to their soft leather uppers and rubber gel soles, these men’s brogues don’t just look the part, but feel just as good too.
Whether you opt for Smooth Black, Smooth Bronze or Smooth Castanho, you can partner your pair with formal trousers, dark denim, chinos, blazers and shirts – the list goes on.
