| Gallery label | Brogues are the shoes traditionally associated with the English gentleman. Brown brogues are considered appropriate for the country, while black brogues are correct for the city. By merely changing the colour of his shoes, the British gentleman can avoid the vagaries and whims of fashion.(1997) |
