The Search for the Perfect Modern Wingtip: Light Brown

To Boot New York Wingitp – $159.90 ($295) | Allen Edmonds Fairfax – $199.90 ($305)

Credit to Adam for sending in the style tip.

To quote my Grandpa Chuck… “That dog’ll hunt.”  Or in the case of these two slightly off the wall stunners, these dogs… will in fact… hunt.

But priorities first fellas.  You need a great pair of black and also dark brown dress lace ups in your collection before you start reaching out for an extra option like one of these.  If you’ve got the standards taken care of, then maybe consider the Italian Made To Boot New York or American Made Allen Edmonds Fairfax.  Because there’s something about an uber rich, deep, fresh off the comb honey-colored pair of dress shoes that turns heads.  Might be too much for some to handle.  Kinda like another red-hued stunner.  Use at your own discretion.

So would you wear either pair?  And if so… which one?
.

Gotta love the top view of the Allen Edmonds Fairfax
