Brogues

Traditionally, brogues, often known as wingtips in the US, are low-heeled shoes made of heavy leather, originating in Scotland. They are usually laced, and sometimes the design is applied to loafers as well. They are considered men's dress shoes, but lately, it has become popular for women to wear brogue heels or boots, often with stiletto heels.

If you like this menswear-inspired trend, buy Rupert Sanderson's Donegal Lace-Up Shoe Boots With Brogue Detail ($950).
