People wear brogues with jeans all the time... on SF though they're generally not cheap ones.

According to this ebay auction they should only be worn with suits: http://cgi.ebay.com/Brooks-Bros-Wing...QQcmdZViewItem

Last week I was with a shoe salesman, a 40-someting twenty-year veteran of the family shoe business. He pointed to the wingtips in the Alden catalog. And he told me, in a confidential voice, that they were "what we call 'old man shoes'" and further, a "young guy like me" would "probably want" a "more stylish" and "safer" (yes, they are safer) shoe such as some vomit-colored Rockports.

The majority of Streetwear recommends brown brogues. And if you press the issue, the more knowledgeable members will admit that they prefer bluchers with jeans (although at this point it's almost like they're happy that anyone is wearing dress shoes over there). So it's a funny auction, but if someone came on here and asked us what the rules say they're allowed to wear those with, that's what we'd tell them!

right now I consider wingtips to be an instant Get Out Of AmJack Free Card. I don't care what kind of crappy kenneth cole shirt with Express jeans you are wearing or how many redbullvodkas you just killed, if I see you at the club with wingtips on, you get my respect.

this reward of my respect should be enough motivation to wear them.

'em would better be ****** wingtips then. No one likes seeing Vass/EG get stepped on and completely trashed.
