What I’m talking about here is not exaggeration, because if you like to wear “formal clothes”, it’s quoted because many formal clothes that we now think are things that were very casual. . . Then, matching shoes must be a must.

J.FitzPatrick is the best designed middle range shoe brand in the market, and it has two signature features, one is clashing colours and textures on a pair of shoes or boots, the other is to bring the antique models back to modern age, such as button boots and Butterfly Loafer just like this model, Hawthorne.
Let us have a look.

People in China love slip-ons. Even in many business occasions, they wear Moccasin or boat shoes. This is of course because they don’t know anything about leather shoes.
The formal slip-on is definitely loafer.
The style of Loafers has been introduced, so I won’t go into details. Today, I mainly talk about how to match Loafer in suede leather.

For people who like dress shoes, what will come to mind when mentioning Brooks Brothers’ shoes? Naturally it’s the very historical brand, Peal & Co, bought back from the UK which was a bespoke shoemaker and released ready to wear collection made by Crockett & Jones. Without Peal & Co logo on sock lining, there is another collection of Brooks Brothers shoes made by Allen Edmonds in the US.
But this pair of mine is not even made in the US. And it is not made in China as well.

Ravel was introduced at the cooperation ceremony between Mattina and Vibram in May, featuring Vibram’s Gumlite ultra-light sole. Milky white color, coupled with blue suede, is really a summer choice.

The temperature is rising too fast, and you start to put on short trousers and short sleeves. What are the best shoes to wear? Here, I am limited to dress shoes. I have two answers, namely Boots and Loafers.
Boots, the rougher the better, make people think that you are going camping and survive in the wild. Loafer, of course, is a relaxing feeling for both indoor and outdoor.
Loafer is always underestimated. In the current context of dressing, Loafer is probably omnipotent. For example, is there any problem of matching navy or dark gray suit with a pair of black penny loafer?
So how to choose loafers?

Loafers were deemed too casual by me and now they are my workhorse in almost every season, man is really capricious. From common to rare in the market, the order is: Penny Loafer, Tassel Loafer, Butterfly Loafer, Kiltie Loafer and Court Slipper. Frankly, I suspect even many shoe enthusiasts know more than the first two, and the last one is even rarer today as it is too elegant to don on the street. J.FitzPatrick disagrees. Bothell is its fight back to make court loafer great again.

我今天看到一双鞋子，虎躯一震，怎么和Carlos Santos的Elliot一模一样！撞衫的感觉可是非常差劲的！
Elliot是Carlos Santos在中国，和在全世界都卖得最好的核心款式。我认为它卖得好，主要归功于两点，第一个是362楦型，法式Ivy，既休闲又不会像美式Ivy那么圆短。

乐福是谁发明的？很多人不知道，一些以为自己知道的，可能会说Alden。但是Alden只是发明了流苏乐福，不是乐福。另外更加专业的，会回答Aurland，挪威品牌，嗯，说到这个，还是有点家伙的。
但是被公认的，主流乐福的发明人（品牌），就是来自英国的Wildsmith。一定很多人没听过。没听过就对了，这不就是我科普的机会了吗？
