With a slightly less intricate design than the previous two, the Derbys have an open lacing system, unlike the Oxfords, which have this part sewn and completely closed inside.
This is a comfortable style suitable for most formal occasions. It can be easily combined with a suit, but it is one of the worst when wearing jeans. Which is a good sign, because it means we're talking about distinction.
The interesting thing about this model is that you can experiment with materials like suede, which were previously considered only for informal situations, and combine it with a suede suit or some interesting print.
Monkstrap
A unique and elegant dress shoe that not everyone would dare to wear. With a strap at the top and a buckle - sometimes two - this elegant design can be worn with various formal looks.
You'll wow during a business meeting, as well as at an evening or garden wedding — it all depends on the color you choose. Just make sure you choose a leather style with a bit of shine, but not too much; this will help you maintain a polished and suitably sharp appearance. Something like the middle ground.
Loafers
Loafers carried many stigmas for a long time. After a heyday and several appearances in the elite world, they fell out of favor when their style became vulgar and, to some extent, banal.
However, this comfortable slip-on shoe has been revitalized in recent years, launching sophisticated models with strong proposals (like the classic Gucci that surely has already drawn in your mind). In addition, its power goes in two directions: it is perfect for adding a chic and relaxed touch to formal ensembles, as well as for adding elegance to casual looks.
Do not underestimate the tassel loafers in leather for a unique and elegant style, or in velvet.
