Which is precisely why it's silly to say that wearing brown shoes with a navy suit is unacceptable. The conventions are different when you cross the Atlantic.

Back to the topic of brown suits... I personally have a couple brown suits (one dark brown and the other tweed with some blue and gray pattern). Both get regular wear.
I think if you are considering a brown suit, go for one that is on the darker end.

Bumping an old thread here but I'm a big fan of the brown suit. I have one dark brown suit and just purchased a dark brown pinstripe.
It's not great for every occasion but I'm in a suit every day and every Tom, Dick & Harry in the office is in a grey or blue suit so it's nice to change it up I think.
Anyone else wearing brown suits regularly?
