Hi. So I'm getting married and will be buying a pair of boots to go with ny suitsupply lazio blue plain suit. I'd like a mid-dark brown boot which I'll be able to wear with my oft worn indigo jeans. I originally wanted the Locke burrford or bedale but believe these to be too chunky for the suit? There is a nice brogue boot here http://www.russellandbromley.co.uk/boots/walnut/invt/568130 which is all,the more appealing due to the dainite sole. I understand R&B are more style over quality when compared to church's, Barker etc. Do you think a Chelsea boot would work well with the suit and jeans? Or a plain derby boot?

My usual dress is smart casual at work and out of work quality indigo selvedge denim with chukka boots or trainers.

So what type of boot do you fellas think would fit the bill? Smart for the wedding but versatile enough to wear at work and when I want to smarten up a little for a night out?

Budget is circa 250.

Thanks in advance

Can I first ask why you want a wear a boot with your wedding suit? That said, a Chelsea boot would be pretty cool.
