The Allen Edmonds shell cordovan trunk show is coming up in a month or so (assuming they stick to the same schedule from last year), and I'm strongly considering taking the plunge on a pair.
However, I'm not sure if shell is inherently casual or more dressy. It's obviously available on dressier styles like the Park Avenue, but can also be had on something slightly more casual like the Strand. I know that shell cordovan's roots really go back to being used in footwear because it was ultra-durable and low-maintenance, which seems to signify casual...but the permanent glossy finish says dressy.
Opinions or thoughts on this?
In particular, I am considering a pair of shell cordovan black Park Aves, though that cigar-brown shell cordovan Strand is quite lovely too.
So is shell cordovan considered dressy or casual?
