no brown in town? This might have been the rule in the 80's and 90's. Well actually it [i]was[/i] the rule in the 80's and 90's but not now.

Pretty much anything goes, especially socially.

[i]Interview - go conventional. Social - look in the mirror, if you like it, wear it [/i]

Work - cheap shit that keeps the employers happy 🙂

I'm currently wearing some Stefan Janoski Nike SB Max's in my Clerkenwell office, if that helps you decide what modern office attire should be in London.

blue and brown is fine for casual attire, but it's not business dress.

I've worn uniform for work for the last 23 years - certainly makes things simpler.

I'm in Chicago. Wearing a pair of black Oxfords. From Duckers, in Oxford. Very loud pink checked shirt, too.

The paperclip trade has standards. 🙂

Do what you like or what anyone else says. Just be aware that blue, especially dark blue doesn't go with brown in any situation. Bugger the trendies, it's as bad a pink and orange.

Think of it as a uniform. If a policeman turned out for work wearing a pink shirt he would, quite rightly, be told to get to f***

Really? Nobody has ever said that to me when I've worn mine.

I went with black. Glad I did, looked smarter, do was a bit stuffy, but it wouldn't have mattered in reality.

I wouldn't wear a blue suit under any circumstances anyway, it would be either black or preferably charcoal, probably with a pair of these:
