Wow! I’m seeing a lot of influence from men this season. Well, menswear, I suppose. Last week we talked about blücher detailing, but the influence goes beyond that!
Enter Word of the Week…brogues. Originating from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic word bróg, which means “shoe,” brogues is actually quite common in men’s dress shoes, and is [...]
