re: Which one of you is mixing brown shoes with blue suits?

I've got a decent pair of brown - they just aren't near as nice or formal as the black. Hence why I predominately wear the black pair with suits.

I'll wear the brown pair with more casual attire - anything tied in with a blazer or sport coat.

Not a black suit.

I can get behind the brown shoes and navy suit...the grey...eh it just clashes too much. But to each his own.

It's not so rare that it's never done, but I don't know how you can say it's common among professionals. I mean, I can't recall seeing one in my work this calendar year yet. I'm not talking about kids at moot court competitions or slobs, though. I mean clients and other professionals in meetings and the like.

Black isn't THE most popular color by any stretch, but it's also pretty inconspicuous and doesn't stand out for good or bad reasons IMO. Many navy suits are so dark that you can't even tell without another color for reference. If you walked around the office in a black suit no one would give a shite in my experience.

Black shoes with a blue suit is fine. Posters are going a little overboard shitting on that.

I mean, it's the quintessential classic look. It is about as conservative and safe of a pick as you can get.

lol yea anything besides black suit.

For a grey suit, it depends on the depth of grey and brown.

Bingo



Not so much

Isn't charcoal just a different shade of grey?
