Step up your shoe game with the best Oxford shoes for men

The best Oxford shoes for men to lace up in

Suede Dress Shoes

"Oxfords, not brogues." Thanks to The Kingsman, we now know that if you want to look your best at all times, you should always pick up a pair of Oxford shoes. Outside of the titular super spies from the movies, the Oxford dress shoe is one of the most classic in men's dress. Sometime around the early 1800s, male students at Oxford were wearing knee-high boots for everything. In a moment of rebellion, they began wearing low shoes with closed laces and the shoe became a hit. Of course, they adopted the name of their place of origin, and we have been wearing them as the ultimate dress shoe since.

Like always, we can't just tell you to run out and buy a pair of Oxfords. We have done the leg work for you and put together a list of some of the best on the market. Of course, we went the extra mile, and we want to make sure you know the difference between the Oxford, and the other popular dress shoe type, the Derby.

The definitive guide to wearing a suit with sneakers

Class up your sneakers and dress down your suits

A man's suit is the pinnacle of elegance that can be worn in the office or on the street. They can make a man feel like a million bucks the moment they slide their arms into the sleeves. On the other end of the spectrum, sneakers are the unsung hero of the casual wardrobe. Sneakerheads around the world worship these pieces of cultural representation. While the two may feel far apart on the spectrum, they can actually come together as one of the most stylish looks in style. But it isn't as easy as throwing them together, so we have put together this little guide to teach you to wear your suit with sneakers.

The perfect mix of elevated and casual
Why is wearing suits with sneakers a tricky proposition? Because you are melding the highest form of dress (except a tuxedo but we're talking daily wear here) with the basic framework of casual wear. Sneakers can get dirty during daily wear, and you do things in sneakers you would never do in dress shoes. That means they can start to look a little rough much sooner than the suits. The trick to working this look is to keep your sneakers as clean as possible, treating them as you would your dress shoes.
