And I'll clarify that about four posts up you said you would "physically fire anyone who wore black shoes with a navy suit because they don't know wtf they are doing."

So your clarification is discounted by your stupidity. Because you prefer a brown shoe certainly doesn't make you an expert. So when that kid walks into Orange Julius and you physically fire him because of the color of his shoe just remember. He isn't the moron in the room.

Dumbass.

There are 3 things that will cause me to physically fire someone:

1. Black shoes with blue suits. It demonstrates that they don't know WTF they are doing.

2. If they EVER wear a dark colored shirt with a bright colored tie. The ONLY time it is acceptable to wear a darkish shirt under a jacket is with NO tie, collar open, and you are in Vegas with your buddies about to gamble away $1000's of dollars and have sex with prostitutes. Or if you engage in organized crime.

3. If I ever walk into one of my offices and see someone reading this site.


You're a little slow, aren't you? There is an entire thread about firing people, one that I believe YOU posted in. Jokes were made about the OP's term "physically firing someone" etc.

I believe it was YOU who posted that your sister-in-law said she would fire someone on the spot if she walked into one of her offices and saw them reading this site.

My post was made in jest. A joke, motherfricker. And not even a subtle one. You represent yourself as a pretty squared away guy, and I'm sure you are. I'm surprised that it went right over your head.

I am a squared away guy. And I wear black Allen Edmonds Park Avenues with my navy suits and have never had someone jump in horror.

Before you call someone out (me) for a fashion faux pas that you assume I suggest educating yourself on the subject first and realize there is much more to it than trends. I'll give you my tip- always dress your age.

But in your honor I just buffed the shine on my cordovan lace ups and will wear them tomorrow.

I'm educated on the subject and I disagree with you. I'm not saying a black hole is going to swallow up anyone who wears black shoes with navy suits, only that brown is a better and more appropriate choice. It has nothing to do with trends. Black is sort of okay, brown is better...IMO. If I see you wearing black shoes with a blue suit, I won't jump in horror...but I will notice.

It's the OT, man. Have some fun with it. I am MAYBE 5% serious when posting in here.

While navy and black was at one time a fashion faux pas for women at least, it's not anymore. And I think black looks nicer with a suit. Found this on the Google

"BLACK SHOES WILL GIVE YOU A FORMAL LOOK..." When to wear it: Black shoes are inherently a sober item, so they're great for more formal events such as a wedding, invite-only dinner party gala, a job interview at a buttoned-up office, etc. That's not to say that this combo is restricted to stuffy social engagements, but just realize that pairing blue and black (while really f*cking sleek) takes the entire outfit up one formal notch.

Okay, buddy. You keep telling yourself that. Just because lots of people wear black shoes with blue suits doesn't mean it's okay. It means that lots of people don't know what the frick they are doing.


I believe one of the ones that don't know what the frick they are doing is in this post.

And the real money isn't on me.

But yeah, it's the OT so yeah let's all just lighten up and pretend we are all just goofing around.

Do you match your shoes to your suit or the stick up your arse?

Don't match the watch as if it is an accessory. The watch should be its own statement.

Wasn't this thread about watches? Did you find one? What are you thinking if not?


I was all ready to read a 3 page watch thread and all I got was some peacocking about fashion.
