The Look: modern brogues are smart, sturdy and not at all stodgy
This season, everyone’s favourite (boring) office shoe is the height of cool. But instead of staid black and brown, they’re best in blue, burgundy and even hot pink. Bonus style points for contrasting socks.

“I wear a lot of dress shoes. Even just with jeans, they make me feel more proper and confident.”

“A friend cobbles for me. She takes vintage pairs and gives them a different look. It’s a cool way to inject new life into old shoes.”
