Bit Alexi Sayle

Slim fit is a bit extreme actually. 'Fitted'. Ie: didn't look like MC hammer.

Never heard that rule?

Lots of people don't like brown / blue combo and wear black shoes with a blue suit; personally I don't like that.

Mine were tan. Ideally I'd have worn my favorite dark brown brogues but I've word the soles through (apparently turnin up at a wedding with a hole in a shoe isn't acceptable...)

Hmm, I do not mind tan shoes with a blue suit, especially when worn with a white shirt, as all those colours are harmonious. BUT, putting gray in the mix is, IMHO, not a good idea. Gray is fine with blue and white but not with tan. So, in this case, black shoes would have been better.

I agree with Bahtat a lot. But also meow and KC.

Interesting.

I wore a blue tailor made slim fit suit. Tan brown shoes. White TM Lewin shirt, grey with ivory large dot Paul smith tie, white pocket square. Not pointed but rounded casually.

I looked ****ing incredible.

Advice was read and noted. Appreciate it all.

Cue onslaught for:

- labels
- brown shoes
- being jealous that you can't pull it off.

Sounds good, Bud. Decent tan shoes go with virtually anything. Post some pics?

Just take a photo of your legs and feet!

I like tan/ brown with blue suits but agree with alexa if there is a grey accent, then black belt/ shoes.
