WHAT COLOUR SHOES SHOULD YOU WEAR WITH YOUR SUIT?

Regardless of the style or cut of your suit, choosing the right colour shoes for your outfit is crucial to achieving a sophisticated and well put-together end result for your big day.

Take a look at some of our favourite shoes for the groom & groomsmen, where style and comfort combine to create men’s wedding shoes that are perfect for the modern man.

NAVY SUIT

When it comes to a choice of suit, navy is one of the most versatile colour options you can opt for. Suitable for work, weddings and any other formal events, navy suits find the perfect balance of smart and casual. They are a popular alternative to formal black suits. But what colour shoes should you wear with a navy suit? Dark blue hues such as navy are best complemented with the warmth of brown tones, whether that be light or dark. From rich chocolate to lighter tan, pairing brown leather or suede Oxfords or brogues with a navy suit will always result in a stylish aesthetic.

GREY SUIT

Grey suits are another popular and versatile option when it comes to formal wear and can be easily paired with a range of shoe colour. If you opt for a lighter shade of grey, both darker brown and tan shoes are,another well-suited option that bring warmth to the cool, steeliness of the shade. Or, if you want to try injecting a little colour into the look, try burgundy leather for achieving a similarly stylish effect.

BLACK SUIT

The most traditional and formal of all suit colours, a well-tailored black suit should be a staple in every man’s wardrobe. While black usually acts well as a base colour and a blank canvas for outfits, a black suit is not easily paired with light or colour-contrasting shoes. When it comes to what colour shoes to wear with a black suit, a classic pair of black Oxfords are the safest option for achieving a smart and elegant look at any formal occasion and black-tie event.

THE BEST SHOE COMBINATIONS:

  • Navy Suit – Brown shoes of any shade
