With its prestigious charm, the theatre is worth making an effort for. Skip the casual trainers and be prepared for wherever your night might take you – pre-show dinner or a night cap.
For a refined look, a high-shine brogue or dress shoe with a point of difference, are great footwear options. We love the cognac Keel by Loake, and the deep blue tone of Lloyd’s Limo style.
For a more casual vibe, go for the Yacht tassel moccasin by Clarus, in royal navy.

Date night
When you’re stepping out with a special someone for date night, it’s worth putting in some thought. Give the denim a break and switch to a tapered leg pant, a button-down shirt and coat or blazer.
For a sophisticated look that still feels relaxed, add texture and tone with embossed leather and supple suede. Try styles like the Burke, by Bugatti, or the Lester brogue by Lloyd.
For an understated look, try the stylish and sleek clean lines of a Chelsea boot style such as the pull-on Kendrick boot by Loake.
