THE CLASSIC WINGTIP

The classic wingtip is growing extremely popular and are again knocking on our closets for a chance to set foot on the fashion districts of the world. Just some interesting facts for you readers, the wingtip originated in Scotland and are more commonly known as Broques. The name "Wingtip" was coined by the U.S. because of the stitching at the tip of the shoe which looked like a bird taking flight.

The wingtip is actually a semi-formal shoe. It is appropriate for a business casual or office attired look but is not commonly worn to a formal dinner or with a tuxedo. An excellent shoe in which I believe will never go out of style. A shoe for the classic man and a definite shoe for the Gentleman.
