Leather Oxford.<\/p>\n<p>An Oxford shoe is a type of shoe that has a closed lacing system.<\/p>\n<p>This simply means that the leather flaps containing the lacing eyelets are sewn beneath the vamp rather than on top of it, as in a derby shoe.<\/p>\n<p>The visual impact is that it actually appears to be a single piece of leather, which gives it a very basic and elegant appearance, which is why the Oxford is such a superb formal shoe.<\/p>\n<p>The Patent Leather Oxford is the most formal of the five shoes I&#8217;ll be discussing.<\/p>\n<p>This is a terrific choice if you&#8217;re wearing a classic two- or three-piece tuxedo and your dress code is quite formal.<\/p>\n<p>You might go\u00a0for a wholecut shoe for an even more elegant appearance.<\/p>\n<p>While an Oxford appears to be made from a single piece of leather, the wholecut is made from a single piece of leather.<\/p>\n<p>The end effect is a smart and trendy style that is incredibly clean, refined, and elegant.<\/p>\n<h2><span

shoe number two.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the fact that it is not as shiny as the Patent Leather Oxford, it will be a minor step down in formality.<\/p>\n<p>A cap toe or any type of broguing, which are perforations in the leather, should be avoided in your Plain Leather Oxford.<\/p>\n<p>If you do have a cap toe, it&#8217;s not the end of the world. It&#8217;ll merely tone down the formality of the shoe a tad.<\/p>\n<p>The Plain Leather Oxford, like the Patent Leather Oxford, can be done as a wholecut for added elegance and sophistication.<\/p>\n<p>This type of shoe is appropriate for black tie, black tie optional, or semi-formal occasions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opera_Pump\"><\/span>Opera Pump<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Opera-Pumps.jpg\" alt=\"Opera Pumps\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Opera-Pumps.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Opera-Pumps-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Opera Pump is formal shoe number three. The Opera Pump is an old-school formal shoe with a very particular look.<\/p>\n<p>It differs from a loafer because it has a deeper cutout, allowing you to view more of the sock.<\/p>\n<p>The bow is the most distinguishing element of the classic Opera Pump. There are, however, more modern models with a single cloth strip. If you like the look but not the bow, this is the outfit for you.<\/p>\n<p>The Opera Pump is elegant and classic, and if you&#8217;re looking for a type for a black tie event, this is the shoe to go with.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Belgian_shoe\"><\/span>Belgian shoe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Belgian-Shoe.jpg\" alt=\"Belgian Shoe\" width=\"500\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Belgian-Shoe.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Belgian-Shoe-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Belgian shoe is formal shoe number four.<\/p>\n<p>This loafer is noted for its little and unusual bow, making it a highly unique and quirky look.<\/p>\n<p>The original came from a little boutique in New York City, but this type is now made by a variety of other companies.<\/p>\n<p>The Belgian Shoe, especially in patent leather, is a wonderful alternative if you plan to wear a full tuxedo and like the loafer design but not the Opera Pump.<\/p>\n<p>The Belgian Shoe is a natural choice for semi-formal, cocktail attire, black tie optional, and creative black tie dress codes\u00a0because of its uniqueness.<\/p>\n<p>In each of those instances, however, plain leather or suede may be preferable over patent leather because they are less formal in appearance.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Velvet_Slippers\"><\/span>Velvet Slippers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1659\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Velvet-Slippers.jpg\" alt=\"Velvet Slippers\" width=\"500\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Velvet-Slippers.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Velvet-Slippers-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Velvet Slipper is the formal shoe number five.<\/p>\n<p>The most casual of the five formal shoes we&#8217;re looking at is this one.<\/p>\n<p>Some would warn you that you should never wear Velvet Slippers outside of your house. However, I believe such advise is out of date.<\/p>\n<p>A pair of Velvet Slippers is a chance to have some fun. They come in a variety of colors and are frequently embroidered, which is ideal for a monogram or something that expresses your personality and interests.<\/p>\n<p>I do not advocate wearing these with a complete tuxedo because they are the least formal of the formal shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Cocktail clothing, black tie optional or creative black tie, will look best in a Velvet Slipper.<\/p>\n<p>Those are the five types of formal taxedo\u00a0shoes. Let&#8217;s go through some details, such as socks and laces, as well as a few things to avoid.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Socks_Should_You_Wear\"><\/span>What Socks Should You Wear?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A black silk over the calf sock is the most classic sock to wear with formal wear.<\/p>\n<p>It has a translucent aspect that gives it a really elegant appeal.<\/p>\n<p>Silk socks are not only expensive, but also difficult to come by.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a big deal because any thin black sock will suffice.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Kind_of_Laces_Should_You_Use\"><\/span>What Kind of Laces Should You Use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Needless to say, black laces are required. Satin lace is the most classic and traditional type, although waxed cotton lace is also quite acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice both round and flat waxed cotton laces, but the round is always preferable because it appears more formal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Should_You_Avoid\"><\/span>What Should You Avoid?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finally, when it comes to formal footwear, there are two things to avoid.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, avoid wearing square-toed shoes, boxy shoes, or shoes with a rubber sole.<\/p>\n<p>They have a shabby appearance and lack the polish and elegance of formal clothes.<\/p>\n<p>Do not wear boots, number two.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are dress boots available, they do not match the formality of a tuxedo or an outfit with a dinner jacket.<\/p>\n<p>That wraps up this overview of formal types of shoes to wear with tuxedo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/what-shoes-to-wear-with-tuxedo.jpg\" alt=\"what shoes to wear with tuxedo\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/what-shoes-to-wear-with-tuxedo.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/what-shoes-to-wear-with-tuxedo-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After you&#8217;ve chosen on your tuxedo, shirt, and bow tie style, the next item to think about is what shoes to wear.
