The Best Dress Shoes for Fall

A man is only as good as his shoes. It's one of the first things someone notices about you—whether you're heading into a date, a meeting or a job interview. When the occasion calls for dress shoes, makes sure you're looking polished from the ground up. From ruggedly handsome brogues and bluchers to more streamlined loafers, here are three styles every man should be wearing this fall.

Bluchers

Similar to the classic derby style shoe, these are a little more rugged and autumnal than your standard oxford lace-ups. Named for the 18th century Prussian field marshal who commissioned the style for his troops, the vamp is typically made of a single piece of leather.
