My ghillie brogues are kept for wearing with my PC. I wear normal plain black oxfords with day wear and boots for casual.
Practically all the ghillies I have seen tend to be black (formal wear) whereas normal brogues can be obtained in a variety of colours to match the outfit.

Interesting, because at least from the 1930's up till recently it was usual to wear buckled brogues (Mary Janes) for Evening Dress and ghillie-ties for Day Dress.
Not so back in the mid-19th century when ghillie-ties, buckled brogues, and oxfords were all three worn with any sort of dress.
Until I got exposed to a load of old images of Highland Dress I thought it "wrong" to wear ghillie-ties with Evening Dress.
