Evening Shoes
What is the correct shoe for evening wear?
Nowadays increased attention is being paid to making sure that the "White Tie" or "Black Tie" is appropriately matched with a formal shoe. Strictly of course the black patent leather plain fronted Oxford shoe, such as our incomparable "Blenheim", is the uncontested classic for Black Tie occasions, but a nicely polished classic black calf Cap Oxford is very acceptable. For the very formal "White Tie" evening the rules tend to be more strict, patent is out and our top quality black calf "Holyrood" bow pump is the appropriate footwear, matched with our full length black socks in fine silk.
We are also seeing interest in the relaxed formal dressing that this Bow Pump shoe offers, since its decorative bow and softly gleaming black calf can be worn in a less formal setting than a patent leather dress shoe.
How about this with a nice velvet smoking jacket?
