Lace-Ups

Why

Every guy should probably have a simple, well-made lace-up shoe in his arsenal.

Origins

Oxford lace-ups first appeared in Scotland and Ireland, but the shoe style didn't make its way to the States until the 1800s.

How to Wear It

Elegant yet understated, you can easily wear them with suits or dress pants to weddings and other special events. But they should also be versatile enough to wear with jeans.

What to Look for

They should be handsome enough to pull your look together, but not flashy enough to distract from it.
