To celebrate the arrival of our Percy Stride Alfred Blue Burnish Calf shoes, here is our hot outfit picks to complete the look.
Wondering what to wear with blue dress shoes?
A slightly uncommon choice, but Men's blue dress shoes are becoming the most sort after and versatile choice in any men's wardrobe.
Handmade in Wollaston, Northampton, our Blue Burnish Calf Shoes complete our Timeless collection. Featuring a heat-pressed roman numeral emboss to the back quarter, both inside and out, these Goodyear welted men’s Oxford shoes are gaining a lot of positive attention.
Designed for gentlemen who wish to step away from our conventional Chestnut Brown or Black colours, Blue dress shoe outfits perhaps require a bit more thinking time when it comes to style matching. But it shouldn't do!
To help make this process simple and painless, here are some of our top outfit picks.
Wet conditions
When the rain is pouring there are a few different ways to go. The first look is practical, ideal for a night out or a smart-casual occasion.
Simply pair a khaki trenchcoat with dark blue jeans, a dark brown leather holdall, and a blue umbrella. Underneath, a plain white Oxford shirt is a classic choice.
Alternatively, for lighter showers and mild evenings, get the black leather coat out and either opt for just a plain white crew-neck t-shirt or add a blue sweater for added warmth and layering. If you want to channel your inner Top Gun/Tom Cruise, pop a pair of Ray-Ban black sunglasses on.
Summer vibes

Our Alfred Blue Burnish Calf Shoes are also a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. For a classic look, a tobacco trouser or khaki pair of chinos is a staple choice.
Simply throw on a complimentary Blue polo shirt for a down-to-earth look, or dress it up in the evening with a smarter cotton navy shirt. A brown strapped watch could also be a sumptuous way to finish the outfit.
If you’re feeling adventurous and venturing to more hipster areas of the country, you could wear your blue Oxford shoes with a pair of deep blue denim shorts. A white and navy crew-neck t-shirt with a smart silver watch will perfectly balance the smart and casual image.
However, if this seems a little bold, a pair of white or blue chino shorts with a shirt in the opposite colour will give you a smart summer look.
Special occasions
Naturally, the easiest way to match our new Alfred Blue Burnish Calf Shoes is to suit up. But nonetheless, you need to ensure the colour matching is on the money.
A sophisticated and daring option is to combine the shoes with a flamboyant red velvet suit, white shirt, and skinny navy necktie.
Although our top pick goes to a light blue check suit, baby blue shirt, and dark blue neck-tie option. It screams out cool and is a brilliant selection for a summer wedding. The combination of blues also helps to give your shoes more emphasis too.
