I'm picking up a new suit for work this evening and want to grab some new shoes to match up with it. The suit is navy with a very feint pinstripe. My question to you is; do you go for black or brown shoes? |

Black. Brown and you're in Essex wide boy/dodgy estate agent territory imo. |

Out of the options, Black. But yes, some form of Oxblood Brogue (see Paul Smith) would be a good choice. |

I'm not convinced black shoes and a navy suit go well together. I like the idea of oxblood though! |

White. Definitley not white. Go for brown or as San said Oxblood is a nice alternative. |

Black does not look good. I wear a lighter pair of brown paul smith shoes with my navy suit. Will take pics the next time I do. |

Get some decent Brogues/Oxfords in a nice deep brown (or Oxblood would work, I guess). Polish them with increasingly darker shades of polish and they'll end up looking like classics. |

i dont get why people dont like black and blue together Black and Blue do go together just Black and Navy dont. On the rare occasion It can work but Ive only seen it work well on girls. |

There was a picture recently of that guy who is the director of kilgour and he was wearing the coolest navy suit i have seen with black shoes. This guy was voted one of the most stylish men on the planet so i would say you could wear black. |

Carlo Brandelli, It can work on the rare occasion and with differnet materials/fabrics navy can look differnet i.e lighter/darker texture can make a difference. Some can have a shine alomost like a tonic and thats possibly an option that it may look good with but as a rule Id say stay clear as you look like an accountant. |
