My Wardrobe: Black and White Spectator Wingtips

These Allen Edmonds Broadstreet black and white spectator wingtips are among my favorite shoes. Shortly after moving to San Francisco in 1985, I saw a newspaper ad for The Hound men's clothier (still in existence) that showed a thirty-ish businessman in a tan poplin suit and black and white wingtips like these. Always enamored of clothes, I thought this was the sharpest thing I had ever seen; and I immediately felt, "Now that's what I want to look like." The rest is history...

I wore these with my latest tan poplin suit today, in hommage to that moment.
