What more can be said about a classic pair of black dress shoes? While these might seem like one choice might be the same as another, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Browse Aquila’s collection of black dress shoes for some inspiration, from a simple lace up or a classic penny loafer, there’s a huge variety to choose from and an option to suit any man.
Derby shoes are the dress shoes you’re most familiar with, a derby shoe is a lace up dress shoe with the eyelets separate from the vamp and folding over the tongue when laced. While these might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a dress shoe, don’t make the mistake of thinking these are all the same. A Derby shoe can come with a brogue detail, a chunky sole or a heavily washed upper for that worn-in look. The other lace-up option in men’s dress shoes is the Oxford. Oxfords are different to a Derby in one key detail. From toe cap to the top eyelet, an oxford is one piece of leather with a slit for the laces from vamp to the top of the tongue. This lends Oxfords a cleaner silhouette for a more formal style. Stepping away from laces, there are two main options available in our range. The first being the loafer. Loafers are an everyday shoe that can be worn for almost any occasion, during the warmer months it’s a great alternative to your lace-ups for the 9-5, whether it be for the office or date night, styling loafers is quite simple. The other laceless option is a bold choice and that’s the monk strap. A monk strap shoe tends towards more formal attire, for the office, a wedding or for the spring races. No matter the style of dress shoes, you’ll always want to keep them looking their best, for that you’ll need a shoe cream, and a shoe brush and follow our simple shoe care guide to keep your shoes looking as new as the day you bought them.
