For grooms, a classic Old Hollywood inspired style is always a winner, and there’s nothing that says class like patent shoes. This designer pair by Lanvin have bags of classic style, creating a look that’s sophisticated, yet still masculine.

The square toes of these oxford lace-ups add a structured, less feminine, edge to what could easily be too sleek a shoe. Contrasting the shiny patent, this pair are perfectly balanced for style that will never go out of fashion. Get yours from Browns for £490.
