11 Wingtip Shoes That Are Worth the Investment

When it comes to men's shoes, there are a few essentials that every guy should have in rotation. One of those? A solid wingtip. The subtle detailing, which is often accompanied by broguing, makes a standard black or brown shoe really pop. The details make it a little more casual of a shoe than, say, a cap toe, but they're usually of the dress shoe variety. Wear them with suits and great trousers, and wear them often.
