Suit shoes: style lessons for men

At least once in a lifetime, any man independently chose shoes for his suit. But Shtuchka.ru conducted an independent survey and found out that either a sister, or a girl, or consultants in a boutique are often puzzled by this problem - everyone except the youngest person.

Today we will not consider the classics: a black suit and black shoes. Everything is simple here. Let's talk about other color schemes of clothes, shoes, and touch a little on the varieties of shoe pairs.

Choosing shoes for a suit by color

The color of shoes for a gray suit can be almost anything: black, brown, a solid shade of burgundy (burgundy). But if the suit is dark gray, then all the listed tones will go, except just light brown.

Shoes that are brown (but slightly different from the suit tone - ideally darker) or a shade of burgundy, but not black, will suit a brown suit.

To blue - and black, and brown, and burgundy tones.

Let's take a closer look at the situations and situations in which it is worth choosing certain combinations. The easiest way is to start from the color of your suit. So far, we have considered the most standard options.

Dark blue suit

Black, brown, and burgundy pairs go to him. The first options are, as they say, classics of the genre. But the shade of burgundy will contrast and stand out from the crowd. Therefore, it is worth choosing if you need an informal outfit.

Light gray clothing

Shoes - black, brown, burgundy. At the same time, since the shade of the suit itself is no longer so strict, it is possible to expand the color range of shoe pairs. And choose white, blue, purple shoes. But do not forget that in this case (as, indeed, in any other) it is worth combining shoes with a belt, socks, tie, shirt very skillfully and harmoniously.

For those who prefer a light gray jacket in a smart or business casual style, the site will answer the question of what shoes to wear with a suit: try colored ones! But then choose a shirt or tie not in a solid color, but with some interesting print.

We select men's shoes for the suit: color white

This is a problem no less difficult than the ones just solved! It is immediately clear that this is not an outfit for everyday life. Most likely, for a wedding, birthday or some kind of performance, if the young man is a creative person.

So what shoes go with a light suit? Everything largely depends on the format of the event. For example, if the suit is white, but in a slightly informal style, then it is chosen for an outdoor ceremony on the coast. Then the boots can be gray-beige, a little earthy.

For a classic event - black or brown pairs. If you need to stand out from the crowd (but not as opposed to the dress code planned for the celebration), then colored shoes will be suitable. For example, blue, red, cherry tones.

The choice of shoes for bright multi-colored costumes

Green, pink, red, purple shades of costumes - to shock the public, this is understandable. But such a creative approach to choosing clothes should not extend to shoes, they should also not be any of the shades of the rainbow, otherwise you can pass for a clown. Even if you are a representative of the creative profession, and chose a bright suit for some reason, think over the shoes.

Neutral shades - gray, black, brown, without decorative elements - are ideal. They will remain in the shadows so that only the outfit attracts attention.

Choosing men's shoes

We talked about colors. I would also like to pay attention to the varieties of men's shoes. Because the combination of a suit and shoes should be harmonious not only in terms of colors.

Oxfords- models with closed lacing and pointed toe. Ideal for formal occasions. You can combine these shoes with a tuxedo or suit in a simple business style. It is better to buy oxfords without excessive decor, a classic base tone.

brogues- shoes with holes, a rather non-standard look. Suitable if your suit is not too strict and classic. This is not a classic yet, but already sophistication, although not for a shocking look.

loafers- are somewhat similar to moccasins, only with a small and thick heel, which moccasins do not have. These shoes are the perfect solution for informal looks. However, it goes well with suits, also made in an informal cut, for example, for photo shoots against the sea, on sandy beaches. Typically, these shoes are worn barefoot.

Monkey- shoes without lacing. This is chosen for unsurpassed comfort. This pair has a long toe, a pair of buckles. They are worth buying if your suit has shortened or narrowed trousers. And the whole image looks harmonious, and this is practical: clothes will not cling to the buckles.

Now you know how to match shoes to a suit. Starting from color schemes and ending with varieties of shoes!
