Dark suit + Brown shoes =

I have a black suit with pinstripes that make it look dark brown from a distance, I wear brown shoes with that. Otherwise black shoes for everything else.

I would never wear brown shoes with a dark suit - it just looks wrong! also looking back at the previous pages, I always wear a belt as well... just seems proper and feels like I'm not dressed if I don't wear one... anyway,

And hope you never put on any weight?

Indeed, however the idea of a suit is to buy it and wear it for that time frame.

I wear belts because I can't afford a half expensive suit at the moment, so hey....I like the break up of the clothing when a belt is applied, but that's just me...Especially if I'm just wearing a shirt + trousers.

I wear a brown pinstripe suite with black shoes or a grey suit with black shoes.

What happened to all the men round here?

Stop talking about fasion ffs and get back to manly subjects like "spec me a watch", "saftey razors" and "taliban/afgan related propoganda".

You could be reminising about quality 80's tv like He-man, drooling over potential new Hollyoaks chicks, or even discussing the finer points of poker.....but no, you're all discussing which socks go with which trousers SICKENING!

It's getting very metrosexual in GD :eek:

The general rule is that you should never wear shoes lighter that the jeans/trousers that you are wearing.
Light brown shoes with black/dark bottoms honestly looks ridiculous, no exceptions, think otherwise and you're destined to be a city banker.

I totally disagree. 'The general rule is that you should never wear shoes lighter that the jeans'... I wear jeans with white trainers. Does this mean that I have broken the rule the same as thousands of other people?

Depends what 'colour' of brown the shoes are. I think some dark suits with brown shoes looks good.

haha, ok by shoes I mean proper shoes not trainers, as in for work or when going to certain bars or clubs

Dark brown shoes with dark suits look ok, although black shoes with black suits is a must, light brown or 'tan' just looks ridiculous but can be worn with light grey suits or light jeans.

Dark brown suit + dark brown shoes = fine
I'd never, however, wear brown shoes with a black suit. Possibly with a navy one, but I've never owned a navy suit.

I guess only certain people can carry off black shirts, don't sweat it!

My misus puts forth this example:

He certainly carries off the black shirt well and managed to marry Danni Minogue so isn't doing too bad.[/QUOTE]

and yet he ties his tie like a schoolboy.

Brown shoes with a dark blue suit I think is ok....depending on the shoes and the exact suit colour, I find it can go better than black shoes.
