my suit game is pretty weak.


It's kind of hard to have strong suit game in this day and age. I work in a corporate law firm in NYC and still only wear suits on occasion. I should probably do so more often, but it's just really not needed.

FFS

At this point, the rule is probably more

Rule #1 "don't wear black shoes period"

Unless you're wearing a black suit, in which case, see rule #2

Rule #2 "don't wear black suits"

Why?

Because he doesn't know how to dress like an adult.

I wear black shoes with navy and charcoal.

When I see an attorney wearing a black suit I don't know whether to laugh or euthanize him for his own sake.

Well stop it unless the courts you're in are THAT traditional. And honestly, I can't imagine oxblood being viewed as out of bounds in any setting. Your life will get better, I promise.

I used to mention it to my GF, now she treats it like it's a game to find dudes in black suits and make fun of them. I've created a monster.

I have a blue suit, dark blue but not quite navy that I pair with light brown shoes. It's definitely my best look... I assume the ladies love it and talk about me as I walk by.

Damn, TD's ad game is on point. Oliver Wicks will sell you a custom light gray suit with brown shoes.
