What dress shoes are you wearing?
I am very interested to know what people are wearing with black tie these days. Is it patent and if so is it an oxford (naval oxford, wholecut or with cap), a casual or an evening pump in patent with a bow or are people wearing perhaps a normal calf oxford highly polished or are you wearing something completely different like a velvet albert? I am curious to know what is the trend these days.

Timely question. I have worn patent leather oxfords and opera pumps, but with my switch from vegetarianism to veganism I am beginning an ethical purge of all products which require the death of animals. I will probably be acquiring some velvet pumps relatively soon.

Re: What dress shoes are you wearing?
There was a time when I wore embroidered black velvet Tricker's slippers (Rampant Lion motif - My birthday is in August) with black velvet jeans upon my lower half and conventional black tie above.
Youth, eh?
Not a look for those beyond 29 maybe...
Actually beyond 19 it's pushing it.

Depending on the occasion I wear black calf pumps, patent oxfords with silk laces, dark green velvet slippers, or black suede slippers from Belgian Shoes.

I think slippers with black tie are very cool.
