Correct footwear for the Royal Enclosure.

With the Royal Meeting fast approaching, attention turns to the finer points of morning dress. Correct footwear is not a detail, but the foundation of a confident appearance.

The Guildhall Capped Oxford is the quintessential choice; its closed lacing system is considered the most formal and an unimpeachable selection for the Royal Enclosure's strict requirements.

For those seeking an alternative with equal propriety, the Lucan Semi-Brogue offers a touch of classic perforation. The Monkton Double Monk, meanwhile, presents a sharp, contemporary line within the bounds of tradition.

How to Wear

Both black and dark brown polished leather shoes are traditionally correct with morning dress. A high shine is, of course, essential.
