Are Derbies acceptable or stick with Oxford?

I look to purchase just one and I would like to use it for my internship at an Asian investment bank. Just wanna look sharp and young (I am 20) without having to look flashy like a douche; so I am gonna grab something that looks plain.

Thing is, I'd prefer to use this pair not only to the office but also to formal occasions. Should I just go for some nice Oxfords like C&J, Ferragamo, Santoni?
