Which of these would you go with for wear with slim, dark jeans and a blazer?
I like the extra broguing of the McAllister near the tongue (see top view), but I feel the lacing style of the Player's shoe is a bit more casual and might work better with jeans:
McAllister - more formal lacing
I think what I like most is this extra broguing because is make the wingtip feel less long & awkward looking from the top view. (Wingtips always have this long, torpedo like shape that I think looks great from the sides, but not so much from the top. Anyone else agree?)
I'm not a big fan of the closed lacing, but I suppose people wear Strands with jeans all the time and those are balmorals.
vs.
Nordstrom (AE) Player's shoe - blucher
Obviously they are pretty similar. Thoughts?
