ok I'm done arguing, who is your senator: Perdue or Isakson? I will let him know his constituent thinks he is being to casual at the US Capitol.
A lot of people have worked on the Hill dude. It is cool, but you sound pretty douchey.

Don't buy Stacy Adams, especially at full price. Get that shite on Amazon for 30 dollars.

The idea of brogues being inherently less formal comes from why they were originally made. Not at all having anything to do with why people wear them in today's formal settings.

A kid that age? Find some Bass on sale.

I don't like dark brown with a navy suit. I like a lighter brown so it contrasts, but that's just a eprsonal preference.

Why is a thread about a 15 yr old wardrobe 5 pages?

I don't disagree, but in my experience you can't really hold up all senators as the penultimate authority on American style either.
I think the point stands, brogue will still be considered less formal in some settings. I wear it with suits in a business environment with regularity, but I still avoid when I'm in the most formal business settings.

It's a good look but I wouldn't suggest he start there. Kid just needs a staple to get by at this age. I'd probably go with a merlot/oxblood oxford, but I'm pretty conservative.

Not reading through 6 pages of GQ-wannabes, so here is the definitive answer:
Not brown, not loafers.

Senators should never be held on a pedestal when it comes to style, but they do work in a formal setting. As for formal business settings I normally wear black shoes that are not brogue.
For whatever reason my opinion on brogue changes with color. Call it personal preference if you will, but my point was just that I am constantly in formal work settings.

Loafers are a little casual but it depends on the situation.
I always liked the brogue.

I'm warming up to a nice walnut with navy, but it would have to a particular shade and a traditional style.
For OP's needs, black is the best bet.
