How to Style your Brogue Shoes

by Peter Thomas Leather

If you love your brogues, there is no reason to get tired of them. They can be worn with all outfits and each shoe can be a distinctive statement of your personal style. “Brogue” refers to the perforations or holes punched on the leather upper of a shoe. True brogues have designs that range from small circles and straight lines to elaborate patterns called “brogueing”. Brogues can be found on all sorts of men’s dress shoes, including Oxfords and Derbys.

History of Brogue:

This classic style of these brogue men’s shoes is a bit different from the original models which were popular in the late 1800s and the initial half of the twentieth century. Men’s brogues today are less elaborate than those worn nearly 100 years ago. Instead of being made from one solid piece of leather, modern brogues have perforations across the top and sometimes around the soles for improved ventilation.

Types of Brogue Shoes:

Full brogue/wingtips: Brogue shoes with full hole punching throughout, made of high quality leather.

Semi brogue: Shoe has decorative perforations and serration along the caps

Quarter brogue: Quarter brogues are characterised by a cap toe with decorative perforations along the caps edge, not on center of cap like Semi

Longwing brogue: A longwing is a style of brogue in which the wingtip perforations span the full length of both sides of the shoe
