They're one of my less worn pairs, despite owning them for longer than most other pairs I have, and I'd like to find more options for them. They're pretty much the colour you see in the photo, and are half-brogues with a medallion. I wear them with dark-ish cords sometimes, and occasionally tan cotton trousers, and that's about it.


They could work with a light gray flannel or wool.

Quite. Though I am not sure the pink shirt would cut it.

Doing some conservative business dress today. Close-spaced chalk stripes too radical?

Love the shoes tie and shirt, the suit is a bit jarring. Just a bit.

I am studying at home at the moment and therefore don't wear suits. This weekend I had to attend a wedding, however, and after getting dressed, I thought: this is actually pretty much what I'd wear to the office (well, apart from the socks, but I posted the shoe shot anyway...). So here goes:

I wear mostly solid socks, normally in more muted colours. I like subtle patterns, but they can be hard to find for my smallish feet.

Shoes are EG Ladbroke
