A dressy shoe is a type of footwear that is typically more formal than everyday shoes. The most common type of dressy shoe is the wingtip, which has a distinctive 'W' shaped toe cap with extensions that extend along the sides of the shoe. The toe cap is usually made of leather and the extensions are often perforated or decorated with broguing. Wingtips are a popular choice for formal occasions such as weddings, parties, and other special events.
