Winter Brogue Collections Available in UK

I’ve been doing some browsing around the online retailers this week, mainly because its a week until payday, but also as I was looking for some great inspiration for some new footwear. This season seems pretty standard, and looking around there really is nothing out of the ordinary available, so its all about how you wear what you already have. A couple of weeks ago we looked at the brogue boot that will be perfect for the winter months and general British wetness and snow, and can be worn for business or smart casual occasions or just as a general fashionable male about town.

I’ve looked at H by Hudson over the course of the past few months, and know all about their brogues, and have also briefly mentioned Grenson and Trickers in posts, however i’ve recently spotted some Ted Baker brogues that look absolutely beautiful. With a variety of brogue boots, rounded toe oxford brogues and pointed toe brogues there is something for everyone among their range in two key colours, black or tan brown. The Oxford brogues look particularly striking as they have an eye catching brown ‘wooden layered’ effect chunky rubber sole with either the tan or black leather upper. I’ve seen the prices vary depending on which style you want, but expect to pay between £100 and £175 for the shoes and boots available in the usual adult male sizes.

With the brogues you can wear them with rolled up jeans or chinos, business suit trousers, or simply like the good old days with a straight leg pair of dark indigo jeans and a shirt or some chunky winter knitwear from a variety of designer mens clothing brands. Sorry to keep banging on about brogues on Designer Shoes and Trainers but I firmly believe that these are THE smart shoe of autumn winter 2011.
