Mens Burgundy Dress Shoes and What to Wear them With

By Steve

Mens burgundy dress shoes are one of the most misunderstood and overlooked shoes in men’s fashion today. We all know that shoes are an important part of our wardrobe. They can make or break an outfit, and finding the right pair of shoes can be difficult. When selecting a pair of mens burgundy dress shoes you want a pair that are stylish, versatile, and comfortable; however, with so many options available, it can be difficult to find the right pair. So, where do you start?

Let’s start with style …

Here are The 5 Best Styles of Mens Burgundy Dress Shoes

OXFORD

The Oxford shoe is one of the most iconic men’s shoes on the market. It has been around for centuries, and it is known for its simplicity and clean lines. Oxford shoes are perfect for the office, and even semi-formal occasions. Oxford shoes are a classic look that will never go out of style.

BROGUE

A classic style, the semi-brogue shoe has a smart design with a curved toe and a square toe box. It’s a shoe that will serve you well, and it is a great shoe that is easy for you to style and coordinate throughout your wardrobe.

MONK STRAP

The monk strap shoe has a minimalist design with a low profile and sleek shape. It is the perfect shoe for men who want a shoe that looks more simple, but still has the sophisticated style that will fit easily into your wardrobe.

TASSEL LOAFER

The tassel loafer is an essential piece of shoe footwear. They coordinate well with business and office casual wardrobes, they offer comfort as well as the tassels add elements of dressiness.

Here are 5 Ways to Wear Mens Burgundy Dress Shoes to Your Best Advantage

Burgundy dress shoes have been a vital part of a man’s style for decades. They are your platform for self-expression, a means of elevating your outfit, and a way of testing the limits of your style. They will also be a means of elevating your style. Burgundy dress shoes have the unique ability to affect almost every element of an outfit. A good pair of burgundy dress shoes can be the difference between an outfit that looks good and an outfit that looks great.

What Mens Burgundy Dress Shoes to Wear With a Blue Suit

For a man to look his best, he needs to wear a blue suit. It has the perfect balance of formality and style, and paired with a burgundy oxford dress shoe has the added benefit of instantly making you look more powerful and confident.

The shape and texture of clothing, shoes and accessories is of tremendous importance in men’s fashion today. Like the gray jacket, the slim lines and texture of these burgundy suede monk strap loafers will separate you at a glance.

Are burgundy shoes formal?

I do not consider them formal from the stand point of wearing them with a tuxedo, however, I would wear them in a velvet slip on with a dinner jacket and trouser. I believe they are less formal than black for traditional business dress and more formal than brown when worn for traditional business dress, especially after 6.

What Colors go with burgundy?

Burgundy is a bold color, and it’s a great dress shoe choice that’s perfect for adding punch to your outfit. Pair burgundy shoes with navy, gray, olive, and other dark colors to add depth and warmth to your look. Burgundy dress shoes also work well with off-white, light gray, and other neutral colors to create a sophisticated look, or you can go bold and pair them with beige or cool blues for a fashion-forward look.

Advantages – Mens burgundy dress shoes with a rich design and patina will be a welcoming departure from your black and brown shoes. Burgundy dress shoes are an elegant way to enhance your appearance and update your shoe wardrobe. Burgundy shoes are stylish and versatile, and their aged rich patina when paired with fall country tweeds and warm winter flannels make them a must have for any man serious about his fall and winter wardrobe.

Disadvantages – Seasonal… I personally do not wear burgundy dress shoes in the spring and summer months unless after 6 for a semi-formal event with a navy or charcoal gray suit.

Alternative – Brown… because like the natural patina of a pair of burgundy dress shoes it gains an even richer patina with every wear and polish.

Dress Well & Succeed
