Grey suit & brown shoes??

[DirtyRaver]

Is this an acceptable combination? I've a wedding coming up soon and need a new pair of shoes to go with my dark grey French connection suit, I quite fancy a pair of brown/tan brogue type pair, but will I look like a tool? or should I just stick with plain black boots?

Do the shoes have leather soles and are they hand made ?

either way yes dark grey and brown go together. what colour tie though ?

It works if you have something else brown in your outfit (tie etc) Full grey and brown shoes only might look a bit off.

Grey and brown such a tricky combination i just dont think you have what it takes to pull it off son.

A dark grey suit and brown brogues can look very good. Make sure you have a brown belt in a similar or identical colour to the shoes.

Unitl a few years ago brown shoes and suits was for Italians and spivs but I think the tide has turned. I wore brown shoes to a wedding the week before last and was so knee deep in bridesmades I had to **** my way out.

Looks terrible

Dark grey + dark brown = okay
Lighter grey + lighter brown = okay

Reverse the combinations, and you have a fail of almost unmatched proportion.

Should look okay, just wear a matching brown belt.

Agree with some of the above. Light grey suit with light brown it tan shoes goes well together. Brown belt, matching shoes also important. Plain, white or light pastel shirt. Avoid brown tie if wearing brown belt tho. Better to go with red,pink,white stripe for example. What about sandies??

Ed; dark brown suit + light brown/tan shoes...Nope, wear black shoes with darker grey suits. Much smarter or dark brown shoes, which imo dont look as good as black.

Just wear the right colour with it and it's ok.

Savile Row it’s not.

I'd not wear a gray suit with brown shoes frankly.

Only were it a light tone of grey would I consider it.

I'd just head to Barker's and pick up a pair of shoes from there. They're super shoes frankly.

Looks excellent, it's a total classic. Shows class and style. Very Italian, and they know their fashion. Make sure the shoes are clean and polished, and make sure the colour of the belt matches the shoes.

I'd never wear brown shoes to a wedding personally. I'd only wear brown shoes with a suit if the suit was light in colour and I wasn't wearing a tie.

 

[Russinating]

Light grey and brown is fine - wear this to every wedding I go to. I'd say black with dark grey though.

Grey suit, black shoes, white shirt, brown tie.

Agreed on the belt/shoes match and proper G's match the watch strap as well oh and a light pink shirt is pretty much all out there with a lighter grey option. Balls deeps my friend, but do you have the balls?
