With a slim fitted, subtle grey pinstripe suit (flat front, tailored/athletic pants/coat), I have to choose between my J&M Waverly wingtip balmorals or my Cole Haan Air Carter split toe blucher/derby (both black high shine) for a business meeting in NYC. I can’t find a dress captoe balmoral in time – and have to make a choice. Thoughts?
Stick to the Johnston & Murphy wingtips. The world of business is still fairly conservative, and split toed shoes sometimes come off as too modern for that sort of thing. The rule that once existed prohibiting wingtip shoes is now gone, and they are generally perfectly acceptable for business wear in virtually any context.
