re: Grey suit, brown shoes... Shirt and tie color?

I would say pleats and classic fit shirts are acceptable. They may not be the latest, most up to date style, but they still work. They are timeless and will last longer than a lot of the shite people wear right now. That doesn't mean that I don't wear flat front pants or the other stuff considered in style right now, just that I don't think it's awful to wear traditional stuff as well. I have equal amounts of both.

And as for grey and brown not matching, you're wrong. Its on the internet, so its definitely true

I wear brown with navy, also. Pretty much only wear black with black. And I'm not big on a black suit.

My sister is a fashion designer in NYC, and she says grey with brown looks good. Just make sure the shades are complementary.

Your sister doesn't sound all that credible, man...

Interesting.

Brown shoes would be ok, my personal choice would I nicely shined black cap toe

Blue pinstripe or solid blue shirt with a nice patterned tie

Gray suits can be worn with brown shoes.

It´s ALWAYS been gray with brown, blue with black, until these people who finish each sentence on an uptone, likes it´s a question, came of age.

If you are wearing brown shoes with a grey suit, why are you concerned with the color of the shirt and tie?

I will not be caught in a navy suit with black shoes. Brown all the way for me in that case. Personal preference.

Both are acceptable depending on the occasion. I do believe that brown looks more informal.
