Men's Gatsby Shoes

Gatsby men's shoes usually mean one thing: a two-tone wingtip oxford, the kind that flashes under trouser cuffs on a dance floor. This pair follows that recipe, with wingtip detailing and a contrast design, and comes in black or brown versions to match the suit you already own.

Black or Brown Two-Tone Shoes for a Gatsby Party

Black works with charcoal, navy and black tuxedos at evening events such as New Year's Eve or a black-tie wedding. Brown is the daytime and summer choice, best with tan, cream, olive or light gray suits at a garden party. With either, wear socks that match the trousers, not the shoes.

Upper, Sole and Fit of These Wingtip Shoes

The supplier lists a PU upper, so we describe it as faux leather, with a rubber outsole that grips on polished floors. They are not waterproof. Sizes follow the supplier's numbering with a foot-length chart; measure your foot in the evening and match the length. Pair them with the rest of our 20s fashion shoes.

Two-Tone Gatsby Shoes FAQ

What are spats shoes?

Spats were separate cloth covers buttoned over the shoe and ankle, common in the early twentieth century. These are not spats, but two-tone shoes give a similar contrast look in one piece.

What is a wingtip?

A toe cap shaped like a W or spread wings, usually with decorative perforations along the seams. It was a popular dress shoe design in the 1920s and still is.

Are these good for a wedding?

Yes, for a 1920s-themed or relaxed wedding. Black suits a formal evening; brown fits daytime and outdoor ceremonies.
