Go Brogue

-


 


Modern brogues originated in Ireland and Scotland. It started, as latchet shoes made as turn shoes and are sometimes labeled with low heels. They are favoured by the Scottish and Irish mercenary.
As time passed, the English style adopted the brogue and the fashion went viral. Today, there are two groups of brogue. The Derby (open lacing ) and The Oxford (enclosed lacing). They are further divided into different styles



FULL BROGUE

Full brogues are characterized by its pointed toe cap such as when views from the top, it looks as though it has a ‘W’ or ‘M’ shape.

HALF BROGUE


This is characterized by the separation along the toe cap edges and center of the cap. They tend to be more formal and also good choices for everyday wear.

QUARTER BROGUE


It is defined by its straight toe cap with decorations along its cap’s edge and nothing in its middle. The quarter brogues are popular choices for formal wear because unlike the full brogue, it is less busy.


However, the classic brogue is designed in brown leather. Today, there are multiple colours, styles and materials available. The versatility of the shoe means it can be worn with various outfits. Whether you are suiting up for work or hanging out in jean, you can never go wrong with it.

 By Praise Olowe Just when I thought the issue of corporate begging had seized in Lagos, some of my recent encounters within the Lagos metropolis has got me re thinking. Corporate beggars seem to be back in town and this time around, they are back in re branded styles. Street begging is not new in Nigeria, and it majorly involves visibly disadvantaged people, who line major roads to beg for money. You would agree with me that, seeing a good looking man who is all dressed up in tuxedo, carrying a fancy brief case and wearing a pair of shoe so well polished that you can almost see your reflection in them on the street of Lagos is not at all a concern.
