Brogues are obviously essentials in every man's wardrobe (and increasingly in women's too) but they have a reputation for being large, bulky and a bit clunky. Don't get me wrong - I've said before that the weight and the robustness of the classic black brogue, especially when combined with immaculate polishing, looks and feels great. It's like the shoe equivalent of driving a Jaguar Mk II or a Daimler - it's not light or nippy like a Vespa or flash and streamlined like a Ferrari, but it has a sort of powerful, stately majesty.
Anyway, I've discovered the internet has documented an outbreak of quite stylish suede and patchwork brogues which smash this mould completely. The blue ones will especially make you rethink your brogueish attitudes, though I do think the brown ones are infinitely more practical.
