I'll probably wear lavender, blue and burgundy colored shirts with it. I was given options such as dark brown, brown, navy, or burgundy shoes. Other stated Black is okay and others stated brown was a NO NO.......(sigh)


What color shoes do you folks wear with dark blue/navy colored suits?

I like to purposly clash (to a degree) on occasion...
Being overly fashionable and perfectly color coordinated is for girls and homo's.

Oxblood colored shoes have always been fine with a navy suit.

He loves the way the "Bruthas" smile and hand him another suit. I guess he feels like TDJakes with Deon Sanders loading him up.

I think he has an orange and a blue and white pin striped too!

however, the "in" crowd no find that to be oh so very old fashoned.

It is very hip to wear brown with navy. dark brown would be the compromise while the true hipsters would wear even a lighter brown shoe.


(I suspect the in crowd dont wear belts at all... they are a sorry lot)

This is what Cass and I are experiencing with this shoe thing

... I'm an Xer ... she's a Y'er.

Black shoes to me are just classic w/ any suit.

All the more to enable us to leave our clothes behind at the sound of the trump.

J/K I have to wear a belt. Of course now they are more to accessorize than anything else. I know you old fogeys wear your trusted black belt to hold up 'yer britches.

My husband wears classy suspenders to hold up his pants.
