For a style that has been around for longer than I have been alive, this classic shoe has made a strong come back on the fashion seen. We saw Lanvin show an updated version on the AW 2010/11 catwalk, thus proving this classic style is still a wardrobe staple for the modern man.
With its origins dating back last century, the concept of the brogue was created by the Scottish and Irish, although popular belief that told us the English were responsible for this style. Some say the it was invented by the Dutch to drain water from their shoes as they toiled in the wet fields. Whatever the true origin it has been reincarnated countless times in modern fashion.
Originally only offered in black and brown, we now see the Brogue in a variety of colours and finishes.
Still a popular style for the discerning client, Vein offers several styles that have been inspired by this classic. The Brogue is the essential style for the modern suit, or tied back with a great pair of well cut jeans.
