5 Dress Shoes Every Man Must Have - What Leather Men's Shoes To Buy - Which Ones To Purchase First

About this video

The Gazette team presents five essential dress shoe styles for building a versatile men’s wardrobe from scratch: the black oxford, brown derby full brogue wingtip, loafer, double monk strap, and half brogue oxford. The team emphasizes choosing shoes that work across multiple outfits and explains how to wear each style appropriately, using Ace Marks shoes as examples of quality footwear that provides good value.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends prioritizing versatility when building a shoe collection, as each piece should work with multiple outfits to maximize wardrobe combinations and save money
• The Gazette team argues that a black whole cut oxford is the most formal and versatile black shoe option, suitable for white tie and business wear, while brown shoes benefit from multiple tonal variations for different occasions
• The Gazette team suggests a progression from formal to casual styles—oxford to derby to loafer—allowing flexibility in formality level and comfort depending on the occasion and outfit type
