THE BROGUE: BUSINESS + BREEZY = BEAUTIFUL

4/24/2016

Fun fact about the Brogue Shoe … when viewed from the top, the toe cap is traditionally “w” shaped and looks similar to a bird with extended wings; hence the common nomenclature for this beautiful + classic shoe, a “wingtip”.  Okay, history lesson over.  Seriously though, I have ALWAYS been in love with the brogue shoe for its long-standing place in the fashion world + beautiful details + overall look of sophistication and class.  This love affair has led me to search for a beautiful white brogue for quite some time … as tall women everywhere can attest to, it is not easy finding cute + trendy shoes in larger sizes.  But then I found these!

Long Tall Sally Laguna Leather Brogue
Stunning right?  These beautiful white leather brogue shoes from Long Tall Sally are available up to size 15 (no joke, seriously, check the website).  With a luxurious feel, these visually-appealing shoes incorporate a timeless + elegant crimped trim and pretty punched detailing.  This delicate detailing + design element is also a secret tip to help flatter a larger foot … when a shoe is visually broken into sections with small detailing, this tricks the eye into seeing smaller sectioned pieces rather than one large, clunky shoe/foot (tall women everywhere can say a silent hallelujah for that)!

For a summer day at the office, I styled these shoes with a pleated skirt, white top and a few accessories to create that polished + professional + corporate look.  These shoes would also be work-appropriate when paired with a cuffed trouser or cigarette pant for the warmer months ahead.  I also absolutely love that these brogues are a feminine take on a historically male shoe ... and one that men have worn to the office for decades.

A classic brogue shoe is also markedly versatile in that it can provide a stylish + polished update to your weekend wear.  This summer, I’ll be pairing these shoes with a cuffed skinny white jean, and some crisp white shorts.   As a bonus, the shoe fits true to size, is incredibly comfortable, and a great option for any woman who has a long commute in her daily schedule.  Oh yeah, they’re also ON SALE at Long Tall Sally.

While you’re browsing the LTS website, be sure to check out all of the chic summer sandals, workwear flats, and classic pumps featured in their current If The Shoe Fits campaign.  There are some truly beautiful styles that are made to flatter larger feet.  And if the shoe fits … well, you know.  Enjoy loves!
