The Black Cap-Toe Oxford
A classic colour that never goes out of style, black is the most common shade for cap-toe shoes. These sleek dress shoes are the quintessential formal option for office wear and can also be worn with suits or tuxedos for less traditional black-tie events.
This style of men’s Oxfords has a pointed-toe cap and a slight ‘V’ shape at the base of the toe. If a more distinctive pointy shoe is desired, look for wings extending from the sides of the toe cap, creating an ‘M’ or ‘W’ shape. This shoe style is called a Brogue and is considered slightly more casual than an Oxford.
Featuring premium hand-built Argentinean leather soles, the black oxfords are made on an elegantly sleek last with a semi-squared toe and subtly low instep. These oxfords would be well-suited for a black tie event or could be dressed down with grey flannel pants and an ivory linen peaked-lapel jacket.
The Brown Cap-Toe Oxford
Dark brown cap-toe shoes are the best choice for a casual look. They match well with relaxed blue jeans and a light grey tee-shirt or shirt with pinroll cuffs. You can top the look with a leather jacket, and be sure to turn heads in your direction. For quality mens cap-toe shoes, click here.
The brown cap-toe Oxford is less formal than the black version, so it’s often a good choice for business attire in non-white collar environments or with blazer and sportcoat ensembles. It is still a dress shoe and should be worn with formal outfits, including evening wear.

The Tan Cap-Toe Oxford
The tan cap toe Oxford is a classic dress shoe worn with any formal outfit. It looks great with a dark grey suit or chinos and could also be worn as part of a bright casual look.
This style of shoes is a staple in every man’s wardrobe as it is suitable for all occasions, including work, funerals, weddings and evening events. It can even be worn with a tuxedo but would look best paired with a black tuxedo jacket or a dark navy blazer ensemble.
If you are looking for a more casual version of the men’s toe Oxford, you might want to consider a pair of tan wingtip Oxford shoes with extensions on the side of the shoe. These are considered more casual than the plain cap toe and can be worn with jeans. They are also a good choice for a tweed or linen suit and look particularly handsome with dark brown spectator shoes.
