Oxfords for the Dapper Gentleman
Traditionally, Oxfords are a simple shoe featuring a closed lacing system with the eyelet tabs stitched underneath the vamp, or on the top of the shoe, unlike the open lacing system of the Derby shoe. Although, most have the eyelets on the quarter, a whole-cut or seamless Oxford are the exceptions. Characterized with perforations on different parts of the shoe, Brogue Oxfords are fashionable and versatile option for office, party and formal wear.
TYPES OF OXFORDS:
WHOLE CUT OXFORD/ ONE-PIECE OXFORD
This shoe is a variation on the classic oxford, constructed of a single piece of leather rather than various pieces sewn together. This style has only one seam connecting the piece of leather to the back of the shoe while maintaining the original oxford shape and signature “closed lacing.”.
WINGTIP OXFORD:
The Wingtip Oxford has a pointed toe cap with extensions called wingtips which extend along both sides of the shoe. Although technically an Oxford, it is generally referred to as a Brogue, because it generally always has perforations near the seams. When seen from above the cap is shaped like a 'W' or a 'M' depending on the viewpoint
PLAIN TOE OXFORD:
The plain Oxford basically consists of the quarter and the vamp. It features neither a leather cap over the toe box nor does it have broguing. This style is simple yet elegant.
