The Phillips is a unique "tarsal brogue" oxford, so called because of the addition of the leather strap on top of the tarsal bones of the foot, between the lacing and the toe cap. The pattern of this oxford makes for a bold and uncommon shoe, and thankfully "bold" works wonderfully with tailoring! This is certainly not a classic business style, but is nevertheless a great way to add edge into an outfit while still looking your best.

The antique crust calf / dark brown suede pair depicted here is a charming "reverse spectator" style. It leans towards the lighter color palettes of classic brown/white spectators, but the deep brown suede keeps this style more wearable as a year-round option. Style it as you would any mid-brown shoe, while keeping in mind this has a lot more edge than your standard oxford!
