First, by the way, all of the shoes you can see here are from Ace marks, a supplier of handcrafted Italian men’s dress shoes and I liked them because they are hand burnished and they provide a really good value under $300. I’ve had their shoes in my closet from the beginning and I liked them quite a bit because they fit me extremely well.
One, the black oxford. Why should you invest in this shoe? It’s an all-time classic, especially as a captoe. You can wear it for business, you can wear it to the funeral, and you can wear it for any kind of formal event out there. Also, unlike brown, black comes just in one shade and so you don’t have to invest in dozens of black shoes but one is really a staple that you must have. So how do you wear a black oxford? You can wear it with two-piece suits, three-piece suits, particularly in navy, charcoal, and grey, and any kind of other business appropriate suit. It’s also good with blazers, maybe a navy blazer with gray flannel slacks or you can wear it with your tuxedo for Black Tie events, your dinner jacket, alternatively, also for white tie or for formal morning dress.
The second shoe style I’d invest in if I started all over again
is the Brown Derby full brogue wingtip. So why would I go with this shoe? Well, first of all, a Derby is less formal than an Oxford. The Derby has an open lacing system and because of that, it’s more flexible so when your feet are tired and they swell and get bigger, it’s a more comfortable shoe than an Oxford. Because of that, I like it for traveling. I would choose a medium brown color such as this antique brown cognac from Ace Marks; it’s very versatile and because they are hand polished and hand burnished, you see different shades of brown at the tip of the shoe than for example at the bottom.
The third shoe style I’d invest in is a loafer. Why a loafer?Well basically, it’s a slip-on shoe, it’s casual, it’s an entirely different style from the other two, yet it’s a timeless classic. It’s really easy to dress up or down and they come in different variations; you can have tassel loafers and sometimes people think they’re old-fashioned yet you can actually have them quite young looking and modern but if you don’t like that, go with a penny loafer because they’re really classic and they’re called that way because you used to be able to put a little penny in the front opening. For versatility, I’d go with a different shade in brown than you chose for your Derby wingtip.
The fourth shoe style I’d invest in is a double monk strap in a reddish color because it’s very versatile, it’s stylish, and it’s young, and it’s just different than all the other shoes that you already have in your wardrobe at this point. This model from Ace Marks comes in a brandy antique Brown which means it was hand polished and hand burnished to achieve different color tones.
The fifth shoe style I would invest in is a half brogue Oxford in a medium brown. Here I have an Ace Mark shoe in a lighter antique tan which is once again different than all the other brown tones in my wardrobe. It has a captoe with nice broguing, a medallion, and it’s less casual than the full wingtip Derby shoe. I’m adding it to the collection because it’s kind of an in-between the more formal Oxford and the more casual Derby. It fits right in between because it doesn’t have a wingtip but it has broguing, yet at the same time, it’s an Oxford and not a Derby.
So if you invest in these five shoe styles, you truly have
an extremely versatile dress shoe closet and you can hold off on investments and maybe invest in other parts of your wardrobe.

This man shud lose some weight so clothes look better
Penny loafers in brown suede.
Very nice
I would always go for black oxfords with toe cap over wholecut. I mean, how many white tie events do people go to?
That is a very sophisticated, yet affordable lineup of men’s shoes..well done sir!
is there really a hole in ur socks? 9:51
What do you think of a pair of Allen Edmonds loafer with tassels.
Another badly tied tie. Shoes are more useful in pairs. How best to choose a spare left or right when purchasing 5 shoes?
Ace Marks advertise that they are "direct to you" and cut out the middle man. But will charge to ship to Europe (even Italy), you the consumer then has to pay import taxes(!!! they literally came originally from Italy) and if you have to return anything will make you send it to the US and won’t refund postage. What on Earth…
Pretty soon no-one will have enough money to afford even a pair of second-hand throwaway slippers let alone dress shoes. Anyway, there will be no occasion to wear any. We’re locked into communism already. Enjoy!
LOL! He’s wearing a knot tie from the early 80s!
You might even look much better on those shoes when you start doing workouts 2 times a week and go for a diet.
No boots reallyyy?? If the budget is limited and you dont have any to spend to a lot of shoe like i did, ill take 2, black Chelsea boots and captoe brown shoes. Wear them with rolled jeans and chino, and when u covered the shaft with slack, they turn into plain toe oxford and derby shoes respectively, how convenient
You know what’s funny you’re so good with clothing you know your stuff but yet the way you combine your clothes just doesn’t look that good I mean you know a lot but the way you dress in the combinations of colors very boring you need to take it out there to a Little Johnny Depp style
Was not impressed until I heard him say “chartreuse”
3:34 it says ‘Avod’ instead of ‘Avoid’
hey! Alfalfa is grown up!
G00D Morning from Auckland, New Zealand it’s Monday, December 30, 2019.
I’m sad to see that boots didn’t make it to your top 5. 😔
This guy sounds really weird
1. Black Oxford (whole cut)
2. Brown Derby wingtip brogues
3. Penny Loafer (Medium brown)
4. Double Monk Strap (Brown antique brown)
5. Half Brogue Oxford (medium brown)
Noted & thank you Sir!
I don’t see Moreschi in the list y?
I would have put in Chelsea boots as well.
They are formal and very comforable, a great pick for winter.
Harika
i prefer my pair of doc. martens and i can go every where
Nice job..thank you sir.
I’ll never know if there can be "5" types of dress shoes for me. I only wear whole cut shoes and I’m shopping for a pair of dress boots for the less casual situation. Things like broguing and even cap toes don’t appeal to me
At this rate I think I’ll just buy more whole cut dress shoes, and for the ones I want to be "less formal" I will have a cobbler install things like toe taps and other less formal things for the sole.
This guy looks like a pervert
Looks like an infomercial
I purchased those loafers in my standard 11.5 D size. Tighttttt. Removed the padded section in the heel which was a much better fit.Maybe should have sized up to a 12. My fault for not doing their sizing guide/info 🙂
This man sniffs his own farts
That brown Long Strap is fire
Your suits look like pajamas !
Great video this helped a lot. Sideways have stuck to black shoes so branching out to brown now.
YOU TALK TO SLOW
DRAG IT OUT
set time frames in the description
Talk to much
Te buty z klamrami i te na początku są chujowe i wsioskie. Ten co je prezentuje to brzydki i wieśniak, a płaszczyk chujowy krótki z dwurzedowymi guzikami też beznadziejny. Generalnie wiocha! !!!!
This is my list if you are starting from nothing.
1: Black cap toe oxfords
2: Brown cap toe oxfords
3: Dark brown suede cap toe oxfords
4: Black cap toe oxfords (One is not enough imo because you need the other one to rest inbetween uses)
5: Paten leather opera pumps or whole cut oxfords if you are boring.
2 & 3 is great for cashual clothing aswell as suits. Broguing is optional aswell.
If you dress cashualy i would go for a derbie as the fourth shoe. I love oxfords if you can’t tell 😀
Don’t mind. I don’t understand your words. Unable to understand I use earphones because of it.
These are the least stylish shoes I’ve ever seen! America doesn’t make good shoes, they’re awful!
how does Ralph afford all of this stuff.
✌✌✌🤗🤗
There are now high quality vegan shoes that look just like leather. don’t support a cruel and unnecessary industry
Best solution for new soles that are super slippery? Please advise with your expertise.
Well , all that shoes look great , but at the same time as 2/3 sizes to big , I know its ,,trend" but on short , stocky man like myself it look funny or even bizarre .,just like those too short suit jackets ! like taken from younger brother !
These shoes at the begging are terrible.
An English rule.
when in town never wear brown

I would love to see you cover black shoes with a contrasting white. They are personally my favorite color scheme for a shoe. Most commonly seen in golf shoes. However, it really suits and even dresses up a black shoe, and breaks up the black that you seem more often than not not to like.
White shoes, as well. Most people do not know how to incorporate them. However, they have an unparalleled level of dignity when implemented properly.
A shoe history video would be rather intuitive and important for your dedicated fan base to learn of that may not otherwise pursue. My first experience was with the history of the Chelsea boot. However, most shoe and boot models have a very rich and beautiful history that anybody gains a greater appreciation for having educated themselves on.
What’s up you don’t like tweet Suits
Slip ons and shoes with buckles look effeminate.
