Okay, RBlog readers -- I need your opinions. What color of shoes is best to wear with a navy blue suit? If it impacts your answer at all, the suit in question has pin-stripes.
If your answer to this question is not black or brown, then the second part of the question is this: Is it ever acceptable to wear black or brown shoes with a navy suit?
i would wear black, because i prefer black and i think they go better with a pinstriped suit, but brown (think cordovan, not chocolate) is also very acceptable and very common. but i usually see cordovan with solid navy suits.
ReplyDeleteWhen I picture a woman's navy pinstripe suit, I immediately picture a nice medium brown (like dark caramel, no idea what "cordovan" is) shoe.
ReplyDeleteI think navy pumps are nasty.
I actually think navy would be best, but if that's not possible--dark brown, definitely not black. Trust me, I worked in chichi women's retail for far too long.
ReplyDeletewhy does thrill know so much about fashion?
ReplyDeletebrown. definitely brown. the darker the better, too.
ReplyDeletei agree with inga, navy shoes are sick. unless you're TRYING to perect the airline stewardess look, which i doubt is the case.
ps, my credentials include women's footwear and fashion, if you were wondering how in the world i'm remotely qualified to give my opinion on this one...
