Are wingtip shoes not appropriate for weddings and funerals?
Wingtips have a work shoe or country background, but they are a type of men’s dress shoe that matches the suit style. Although it depends on the work environment and scene, generally speaking, it is safer to match them with business suits that are made of leather and have inside wings rather than suede or other materials.
Incidentally, brogue shoes themselves are generally considered inappropriate for weddings and funerals, even if they are made of leather and have inside wings, so it is important to choose them smartly according to TPO.
If you think you are a workplace NG, consider semi-brogue shoes or quarter brogues with less ornamentation!
As mentioned above, full brogue shoes are difficult to match with formal occasions and formal business scenes, but it is also important to keep in mind the option of semi-brogue shoes, which have brogue details but are less ornate. For example, Church’s Diplomat is a well-known semi-brogue shoe.

We found a gentleman wearing such semi-brogue shoes on his feet. He was wearing a beige suit with a London stripe shirt and silk tie, and his elegant feet made a very good impression.
Furthermore, quarter brogue shoes without a toe medallion are more formal and less likely to make you feel uncomfortable in any business situation.
