Black in town, at work.
Brown for the weekend.

They look gash, especially under the dark suit that most seem to wear with them.

Perhaps people can do what they want rather than what they’re told. The problem with any black /brown shoe dress code is

a) there aren’t any dress codes anymore – its not the 1940s and we don’t all dress the same

and
b) black leather shoes looks shit regardless of whether the code is in favour of it or not.

Do you wear those black shoes with white socks OP?

They work best on your feet, I always find.

At work, black trousers, brown shoes and a shirt.

I look the fkn bollocks.

They only work if you have a brown bike

Brown shoes should never be worn with dark suit trousers !!

No, the old adage remains true

Brown shoes should never be worn with dark suit trousers !!

Thats why I don’t wear trousers. Stripped to the waist – like an action hero.

I bought some brown shoes for the first time ever. I’m wearing them with black trousers. Nobody cares or notices, I believe they’re actually quite fashionable at the moment.
Trouble is, when I walk around, I can’t help but think that my feet look massive. Doesn’t happen with black shoes.

I’m wearing brown shoes now, with faded blue jeans, a brown belt and a short sleeve blue/brown checked shirt that exposes my de-facto STW Seiko military.

It all goes together, in my opinion of course.

Today, I are mostly wearing, pink check shirt (gingham/tablecloth pattern and very bright!), khaki shorts and Reef Phantoms. Suave, eh?

A short sleeved shirt!

Is your bus parked nearby?

As long as shoes match the belt.

I wouldn’t, but I work with people that do and they’re not dead. It looks pretty cool to be fair, and if my personal wardrobe colour co-ordination rules weren’t from the 1940’s I’d probably wear the same.

That’s an ugly image, man. A real ugly image.

You post #strangest before admitting to a totally unmatched wardrobe? 😀

Is it the shoes?

Indeed. Brown and that shade of white/pink flesh are just, well, very north of the border, shall we say…

I think it means he approves. Or at least part of him does.

a totally unmatched wardrobe?

WFH therefore DGAF. 😉

Aah, get ya now……..

As the great Frank Zappa said “Brown shoes don’t make it”.

At work, black trousers, brown shoes and a shirt.

Better than black trousers, black shoes and a brown shirt…

Indeed. Brown and that shade of white/pink flesh

You’ve made me all self conscious now. Bloody body fascists!

very north of the border

I was just pleased to meet you

All I’ll say is that Elmo McElroy set the standard for that look.

I don’t look anything like Laurence Fishburne

WFH? Then shame on you for not wearing an open-to-the-knees dressing gown smoking jacket with pants under like the rest of us. 😆

May I refer maccruiskeen to the final scene of that film…

Commando.

Who in turn looks very similar to Charlie Brooker. Who would probably look pretty poor wearing nothing but brown shoes from the waist down.

But being serious (heh) it all comes down to the particular shade of brown, surely…

black leather shoes looks shit regardless of whether the code is in favour of it or not.

* In my defense,it was a wedding and nobody noticed once I started my drunken dancing. 🙂

As the great Frank Zappa said “Brown shoes don’t make it”.

Yes, more fashion advice from Frank Zappa please.

Hmmm.

Mate is getting married in Oct and he’s buying the ‘groom party’ or whatever we’re called the same suits, so we all match, rather than hiring.
Very nice of him. But……they’re blue suits, which I will suspect will be the slim, tailored variety.

And insisting that we all buy BROWN shoes to wear with them….. 😐

Stumpy, you have three choices
1 – Kill the groom.
2 – Kill the groom and the other ushers, yourself included.
3 – Kill EVERYBODY!

Works for Mr Noisey

Flashy – extreme, but effective!!

Brown shoes with jeans, chinos, Bermuda shorts and long socks 😉
