Dress shoes for navy suit @ fancy dinners
Looking to buy my first pair of brown dress shoes, planning on wearing them for fancy dinners and was interested in Allen Edmond's Fifth Avenue cap toe oxford. I'm not sure which color of dark chili, coffee brown, or mahogany is best for my needs. There was also the Meermin Expreso antique calf wholecut oxford that looked nice.

I think the wholecut might be a bit much unless you're going to really fancy dinners
what shade of dark brown is really up to you, they're all pretty versatile

This our new take on the classic cap toe Oxford, an every day shoe, the smart choice. Designed on the new ROIS last, a longer & smart almond-toed last pretty similar to the OLFE last, more straight forward & with a slightly higher instep. A contemporary verion o fthe clasisic round last. Made just using the fin
the expresso antique calf is a lovely shade, so I'd recommend this one if you're going Meermin
Gotcha. thank you for the help!
I prefer oxblood/burgundy which here would be mahogany. But either of the choices listed are fine, so personal preference. Great price for a solid shoe.
