Yes. You can wear it with anything other than a black suit--which you don't need anyway. The other option would be a burgundy cap toe. The problem with the black cap toe is that it really only works with a suit. If you wear a suit every day, then you can wear a black cap toe with any dark color suit and look fine. If you aren't a daily suit wearer, the black is much less useful--you can't wear it with a sport coat.You think brown cap toe is more well rounded shoe compared to black?
A dress shirt is a business not casual shirt in the UK. I would then surmise that dress shoes are the same. I have never worn morning dress, black or white tie, lounge suit especially for these occasions except Royal Ascot where I am banned.This thread is a bit confusing to me (I'm new here) because I would never have considered brown cap shoes, tassle loafers, chukkas etc as "dress shoes". In my experience dress shoes means shoes to be worn exclusively with formal wear like a tux, morning suit (wedding attire), black tie evening wear, etc.
Even black toecapped Oxfords would be classed as "formal" rather than "dress" in my experience - something to be worn with everyday-wear (which the business / lounge suit is designed for after all) rather than for a "dress" occasion like a wedding, ceremony, evening event, or whatever.
