ZigguratofDoom
An olive gren suit. For when riddling batman.
casbutt
it works on black dudes, buy no one else.
Rozasharon
TIL don't wear blue shoes with a blue suit
kingAPwhammy
Look at my blue suede shoes.
funnymunqee
What kind of savage wears brown shoes with a grey suit?
Patrickt333
Brown shoes with a grey or navy suit look terrible to me. Either black or cordovan is the way to go.
lizardinajar
Excellent guide. I wish I had guides like this for women's fashion because I have no fashion sense and no helpful infographics.
Cal1te
Womans fashion... just turn up in whateverthefuck and roll with it?
TimTamFlimFlam
No brown in town.
ackbob
Tan and brown dress shoes are trash, tbh.
snofreser
That is a lot of ugly shoes! Step up the game, you won't regret it
midgetsunite
I really wish it were ok for women to wear suits :(
FozzieBare
It absolutely is. Look at one Ms. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
SwarleysQuinntervention
It is..
MoldyBallsack
what about vantablack?
ElCommento
I see you, Batman.

Oxfords, not Brogues,

God, is this a meme now?
jsktrogdor
Excellent. I'll be sure to favorite this for when I need to select from my one pair of dress shoes and my one suit that no longer fits.
marylanddd
I own exactly one pair of dress shoes also. Might not look great, but at least I don't have to stress over picking the right pair :p
Knutzi
Weird how suits just shrink over time isn't it?
jsktrogdor
Right?
Knutzi
The bane of a well fitting suit, is beer,pizza and cheeseburgers.
jsktrogdor
Not for me. I'm swell-boned. My bones swell up over time. It's just my cross to bear.
Knutzi
wat?
EnigmaticBox
Is it just me or do white suits always make you look super sleazy?
JarlUlfricStormcloak
It's not just you. My highschool proms were filled with white suits, and of course those people brought fucking pimp canes.
FarNorthFarLeft
White suits, tuxes, shoes. They're all horrible. It's what people with NO taste wear when they try to be classy.
JarlUlfricStormcloak
It's not just you. My highschool proms were filled with white suits, and of course those people brought fucking pimp canes.
KimJongBill
Ha, like I own a suit.
Cal1te
Being an adult I own 3. There all black. Coloured suits are for wierdos.
KimJongBill
I'm an American; most of us get by just fine with business-casual ;) Agreed on the colored suits though!
Cal1te
Huh. In my experience working for American companies the opposite is true. They expect you to turn up to corporate suited & booted.
DevintheStone
Pinterest is invading imgur.
redfalcon2009
What I've taken away from this is that black is verastile
TWD1992
Instruction unclear...I'm am now wearing six different pairs of shoes with my khaki suit
3toes
Actually, Oxblood colored shoes go well with a charcoal suit. It's a very "classic" look.
DiabolicalPotato
Or just wear black with everything
Drzhivago138
And sometimes very, very dark gray
ThePowerOf42
This post.. it suits me very well
irritabletom
I have one pair of jeans.
secretmanwhodrinksatwork
Thank god. Now I have a reference for the next time I'm getting ready to go to the yacht club.
SteveLookather
Why would they let you be a member if you didn't already know this stuff? Anyway read this great french book called "le sarcastique"
PauPauMotherfucker
I am a woman. I don't need this. I will never use it. Favourited.
adventuretoin
Same
ruferto
use it to dress your man or the young lad you keep in the basement for emergencies
Azyrre
Thanks for reminding me about the lad in the basement! Good call.
JarlUlfricStormcloak
The colors still stand! I also wear skirt suits occasionally.
Sentinelese4Lyf
PLEASE DON'T WEAR WHITE SHOES
Drzhivago138
What if you're going to Galactic Bowling?
isthisnecessary
What if they're going for the drug lord look?
Cal1te
White shoes, cream slacks, Hawaiian shirt. Im going for it dude!
tokenhooker
Unless you're Uncle Eddie.
ForTaxReasons
Unless you're the Tenth Doctor
Sentinelese4Lyf
@tokenhooker @isthisnecessary Pitbull the only exception.
ruferto
not with most suits but if you're a confident dancer, its a great way to draw attention
Julker
There's always a time for everything. What else you gonna wear with a seersucker suit?
tbirdistheword
It's called don't wear a seersucker suit unless you're an old man or a small child.
ObamasBigBlackCaucus
A look of regret for wearing a seersucker suit.
IDONTUSEMINDCONTROLANYMORE
So mostly brown shoes? Got it thanks.
MichaeIJCaboose
I just wear my brown convereses with EVERYTHING
taugenx
Frank Zappa says Brown Shoes Don't Make It.

Khaki suit? Christ almighty it burns my eyes
0nceInABlueMoon

DerpHerperson
Good catch! Except for that one below it, labeled, "Khaki."
HowardMoonsHotpants
Our man in Havana
Raenon
Very white men shouldn't wear them. If you're dark skinned in certain tones, it can look very good. Same with dark purple or yellow shirts.
YaKnowItsJoe
but it goes so well with my pith helmet and imperialistic attitude
nicehulk
tgolden77
What's with all these posts suggesting black shoes are ok with dark blue suits!? Always were brown shows with blue suits!

I don't understand this jibber jabber (hence the violence) what am i missing?
JarlUlfricStormcloak
I was thinking that too. Black should only go with black and greys really.
andyar
Black works with everything. If someone judges me for that minute of a fashion mistake then I give no fucks.
Julker
Wrong. Black shoes work with navy suits.
OmniscientZiltoid
No, I think people on the internet know better than Cary Grant, Fred Asraire and every actor ever to play James Bond.
OmniscientZiltoid
No brown in town has been the motto of the London gent for more than a century. Navy suits and black shoes are a timeless pairing.
tgolden77
I hate it. It's clashing at it's finest. It gives me a headache to look at for too long.
OmniscientZiltoid
I get personal preference, but you implied that Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant and every costume designer for James Bond were all wrong.
OmniscientZiltoid
... Which is just silly.
tgolden77
Sure it's my view but it's one I feel strongly about. To me they are wrong. You get dark blue by mixing in black. Black and blueblack clash.
pallentx
Get black shoes, don't buy really light colored suits.
LadyTashviv
But I love champagne and light grey/brown suits on men :( black is so... standard.. and blue/striped is just awful
Boredtodeath
But Spring Meet! I can't bet on horses in black. That's for my funeral after the debt collectors kill me.
Isthisnamefunny
As a person who has to wear a full suit multiple times a week, I disagree. Different shoes and varied jackets/pants keep it fresh.
pallentx
Absolutely, if you wear suits a lot.
bendyknee
I wear white Suits to complement my fried chicken restaurant chain
pallentx
You sir, should never wear anything else.
hereiamnowloveme
i genuinely laughed out loud
UnpopularOpinionPuffinPersonified
I go with one pair of black and one pair of brown shoes. 2 pairs for every suit I own.
pallentx
That's what I do, because I need brown shoes for other non-suit things I wear.
sultanofimgur
Be boring.
pallentx
Just keeping it simple. I wear a suit less than 10 times a year. If you wear suits more, you would definitely want to branch out.
sultanofimgur
Wise words!
Bobloblawlawblogblogslaw
That's boring. Get Burgundy shoes. Goes with every color of suit you should actually ever wear.
pallentx
I used to have a pair of cordovan shoes. They were versatile, but I didn't like them with black pants.
Grannyc
The color of suits you buy should depend on your complexion.
VinnieBones
Black suits are for funerals and weddings.
devastitis
Not weddings, funerals and interviews.
pallentx
I wore a black suit to a wedding, but I was the minister.
pallentx
But do what you want, I'm no fashion guru
RadioEngineerMonkey
Black suits can be worn to anything, depending on the undershirt and tie.
Drzhivago138
I think you just mean shirt.
NK892
I don't know why you're being downvoted. An undershirt is the plain t-shirt you wear underneath to soak up your sweat to protect your shirt
VinnieBones
I wear a v-neck tshirt under my dress shirt every day. I'm not comfortable sweating into a $250 shirt.
pallentx
Doesn't have to be black. Black shoes are listed under all but the lightest options.
Drzhivago138
And brown.
pallentx
No brown shoes with charcoal though
Drzhivago138
Sorry, I meant brown /suits/. I was adding to your sentence, "Black shoes are listed under all but the lightest options and brown."
Drzhivago138
Sorry, I meant brown /suits/. I was adding to your sentence, "Black shoes are listed under all but the lightest options and brown."
Drzhivago138
I mean, unless you were already counting brown as one of the "light options." The brown here I would consider a medium or even dark.
FireLizzard
Non-black suits are for people who care enough to own more than one
YouAreACommunist
If you only own one you should own charcoal or navy
FireLizzard
I wear a nearly black suit and a vibrantly purple shirt to everything. No weddings or funerals yet.
MyMiddleNameIsAllen
I don't have an option but to wear black suits to work most days.
pallentx
really, what kind of job?
MyMiddleNameIsAllen
Lawyer. Any day that I have a possibility of a court appearance = black suit. Other counties are more lax on that though.
MyMiddleNameIsAllen
(2) A lot of the judges in my metropolitan area can be "old school," meaning outfit creativity is severely frowned upon.
marylanddd
and what would happen if you showed up to court in a flashy-ass blue suit?
LetMeGramSchmidtOnYourChest
Every man should have a properly fitted navy suit. You can literally wear it anywhere
OmniscientZiltoid
It might look a bit silly at a Morbid Angel concert.
LetMeGramSchmidtOnYourChest
You'd still look fresh as fuck
eggmuffin
Or buy two pairs of shoes, one black, one brown. That way, you can wear whatever you damn well please.
pallentx
That's what I have, but the brown pair is for non suit things
eggmuffin
Or for brown, tan or beige suits.
pallentx
If I had suits that color...
Drzhivago138
The pain is real.
Drzhivago138
This. Brown goes with everything except black and charcoal. Black goes with everything except brown/khaki.
LearningOnImgur
I don't think anything goes with a khaki suit
eggmuffin
1/2 I do have shoes in a couple of different shades of brown, to match my belts.
eggmuffin
2/2 And I'll usually pick a belt based in its buckle (bronze or steel, big or small) and how its colour complements the shirt.
