[QUOTE="Horus, post: 1349798, member: 4288"] [B][U]Matching pants with dress shoes:[/U][/B] There are some colour combinations of pants and shoes that always look great, some that look acceptable, and some that look terrible. These are just my opinions and some will disagree. But I believe if you've never thought about this before, the following are good guidelines which will help you figure out what is best for you. In general, your shoes should be an equally dark or darker colour than your pants. If you wear lighter coloured shoes than your pants, it will usually look off. You may not realise this by just looking down at your shoes. But if you look in a full length mirror it will probably become apparant. Also, shoes that are lighter than your pants will draw the eyes downwards. [B]Black pants[/B] There's no versatility here. Only black shoes work. Anything else looks completely ridiculous. You'll probably only wear black pants in very formal settings. [B]Navy pants[/B] In the past, navy shoes were considered obligatory with navy pants, but these days it's a very rare colour of shoe. Burgundy or dark brown shoes look great. Black looks great if you want to look more formal. I see a lot of younger guys trying to wear light brown shoes with navy - I think it looks odd but many disagree with me. [B]Dark gray pants[/B] Black, burgundy and light brown. [B]Light gray pants[/B] Light brown and burgundy. Black and dark brown are okay but might look off depending on the shade of gray [B]Beige pants[/B] Light brown and burgundy work best here. Dark brown isn't the best choice and never black. [B]Tan pants[/B] Light brown, dark brown and burgundy. Again, never black. [B]Brown pants[/B] Not sure because I never wear them. I think brown pants and suits look very dated. I'm sometimes surprised how many men I see wearing formal or semi formal clothes where they've put no thought into how colours work together and they look ridiculous.
