no, they're in fact too casual (due to being blucher and light color) to go with anything more formal.

I'm going to take a stab at this; they will match. The color appears casual. You could probably dress them up a fair bit but I certainly wouldn't try with dark colours.

onix,

what could you pair with those shoes?

I would not wear them. This is the reason.

 

[daruma]

they won't work with dark colors? like navy/royal blue? what about grey and dark brown?

Onix - this tech question, not a clothes question. How do you change the URL from it's original to your own text? (As you did in the above quote.) I'm a noob at technology!

Thanks in advance.

There's actually a darker color of that shoe:

but i'm afraid it will look too formal. Will this color be more versatile than the one posted before?

1. Is that cotton? 2. shoulders look a bit wide but by most people's standards it's an ok base to work off. If you can spend less then $50 at a tailors getting the back taken in so the thing has some "shape" (top back of the neck might actually need to be taken out) then I'd say "yea", it's not too bad. sleeves also a tiny bit long but I probably wouldn't spend the money to fix that. once the back tightens up, the sleeves will probably pull up a little more as you move. 3. Middle button only. Bottom always stays undone, top (3button) generally does too) 4. Color might not be the best for your skin tone however. Still acceptable though. I'd suggest looking up pics of guys like you online and finding the right shades of shirts and jackets. Examples: Yes, Yes, No (ok actually it's really only the red shirt, but the suit is a good color.) - generally complimentary shades of grey or brown, and navy look good. I'm no expert on this stuff though, I'd suggest doing some research on color-matching.

This color is much better. I am not quite sure why you keep saying that these shoes are too formal. They're casual since they're bluchers. These can never ever go with suits. They're quite versatile however. It's ok wearing them with many types of pants from jeans, to chinos (best bet) to dress trousers.

Ok, thanks. I'll get that
