You know the old saying that you can tell a gentleman by his shoes? Well, it’s true. We have no doubt that beautifully constructed shoes will help you to make a good impression, both in the workplace and in social situations.
The navy suit is a perennially popular sartorial choice. It’s sharp, it’s sophisticated, it’s smart. It is also very versatile, and opens up a whole range of opportunities when it comes to your shoe options.
