I was looking for formal wear and found these. I want the black, but would it be too edgy to wear to work (a somewhat traditional place)? I don't picture myself wearing these without an occasion for a suit, so perhaps I would wear it to a friend's wedding.

EDIT:: Here's the alternative, which I think is sexy as fuck but a tad bit more expensive (about 2.5times), but also more traditional.

If it's for a party, go with the first two. For a wedding or something that someone esle is the centre of attention, go with a simper one.

Yeah but as he said the second ones are 2,5 as expensive and paying that much just for shoes that look a bit simpler, but in my opinion not nearly as good as the first ones?
I'd love the first pair, they are stylish and give you a more 'relaxed' look.
The other ones may be worn on a wedding but just aswell on a funeral. If thats what you are going for then go with the second.

I think I have the exact ones in the second spoiler (black one). I do wear them to work, especially on days with team/boss/client meetings. Other days... I just go with more comfortable and less formal pairs.

the second one is made of genuine leather while the first one is made of synthetic, so that justifies the price difference. plus price really isn't a big concern for me, I'll get it if I like it. I'm just not sure if I can show up to a traditional north american work place in the shoes showed in the first spoiler. work place is predominantly white male, but they definitely care about fashion and have money to throw around... it's just that I'm trying to avoid being in the spotlight due to clashing fashion codes between korea and america.

Both those shoes are seriously stylish, very good buy's either way.
I'd feel more comfortable wearing the first pair casually, and the second formally.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing colorwise.

And you have no idea, I've been looking for the right pair of Fifth Avenue's on ebay since he talked about the shoe on his main blog.

If you want to be able to wear them to work and you're not a big ceo suit wearing guy, I'd go for the brown ones of either with the entire "brown is a little less chique/formal than black" thing going. Also buy the ones that make you feel best about buying them, you will wear them more often and with more pleasure.
