AE Cliftons with a suit?

[principal]

I read that bluchers shouldn't be worn with a suit. Will these make decent work shoes with a suit?

Unless you hang out with a lot of other iGents, nobody will notice or care. They should be fine with a suit. This "rule" is virtually unknown outside the realm of the iGents.

what about hampsteads? will they be okay for everyday wear at work with a suit? Seem a bit too grandpaish

I think it would be fine. But unless you already own the Cliftons, why not get the Fifth Avenue, a new perfed captoe AE is offering?

Nice shoes. I'm currently wearing a pair of AE Byrons and trying to spot the difference between it and the 5th Avenues. I guess the main differences are that the Byron is discontinued and the 5th Avenue is on a different last. Other than that, it's pretty much the same shoe. Either way, the Byron, Clifton, and the 5th Avenue are all nice looking and would all work with suits.

I've certainly worn my chestnut Cliftons with suits, of the lighter, summer variety. If the Cliftons were of a darker hue, I would also wear them with more formal suits.

I just got my chestnut Cliftons about 30 minutes ago from the shoes.com sale last weekend. I like them a lot.

Yeah, the Byron is on the #4 last, the 5th Avenue is on the #5. I find the former more comfortable, the latter more elegant.
