What are brogues and how to wear them

Brogues are unusual shoes that quickly entered the world of fashion and firmly entrenched there. In appearance, they resemble classic leather or suede low-speed shoes, complemented by an interesting decor - “wings” and perforated edges. Brogues are suitable for both women and men. They fit perfectly into business and casual looks.

 

The history of this type of footwear comes from Scotland. This region is known for its heavy rains and local farmers have come up with an interesting life hack - to make holes in boots with an awl so that they dry out faster. Over time, the need for such an invention has disappeared, but the perforation has already remained in the form of decor.

 

Later, brogues migrated from the men's wardrobe to the women's and began to change. Original patterns appeared on the toe, and the color palette played with various shades: from pastel to neon. The basis for such shoes can be loafers, oxfords or low boots. The main thing is to preserve the main attribute of the brogues - this is perforation.
