I prefer the Carlye in black and the strand in oxblood. Both of which I currently own.I hope people are up for another version of "What would you choose and why?"
(I wish there was a way to put a poll in an existing thread)
If you could only have 2 Allen Edmonds dress shoes that needed to cover all of your dress-up wardrobe occasions (tux, suit, sport coat and tie for work, weddings, funerals, etc.) what would they be?
The first shoe is a given: black Park Avenue
What is your second shoe, in what color, and why that one?:
- Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Strand
- Cigar, Coffee, Dark Chili, Mahogany, Oxblood, Walnut
Personally, I am very torn. Limited to 2 shoes Walnut is out immediately because it is the least versatile color IMHO. I really like Oxblood but think it may be more limited than Chili or Mahogany or even Coffee so its a pass as well. I like the Strand but it is too casual if I can only have 2 dress shoes. Maybe a Fifth Avenue when I am only wearing a sport coat (or when I am not wearing a navy or gray suit). My choices would be:
Safe choice:
Not as safe choice:
- Park Avenue - black
- Park Avenue - coffee
Fun choice
- Park Avenue - black
- Fifth Avenue - dark chili
- Park Avenue - black
- Strand - Cigar
