Brown shoes with brown shirt?

[nordicstyle]

What do you guys think of wearing a brown shirt with brown belt and brown shoes? I do this with black all the time, but for some reason I think it may seem a bit strange with brown and I'm wondering if brown shirt, black belt and black shoes would be a better option?

I have done this before. It looked good on me...

Brown shirt???

Tan, medium brown, or dark brown? Dark brown is for UPS driver.

In theory, brown shirt + brown shoes should be OK, but what kind of brown shirt are you talking about? Brown plaid?

Plain, dark (earth?) color. I think maybe it works better if the shoes are lighter color than the shirt.

You shouldn't wear white shirts either, because *** wears white.

Seriously, I think the whole color association thing is a bit silly. I mean, is there actually any color that is not associated with something one would rather not be associated with? Black is for waiters, blue is for security guards, green is for forest rangers, red is for communists, ...

A brown shirt with brown belt and shoes would look good imo, especially with tan pants.

A brown shirt is fine. No need for a prohibition here. Just ask George C.

A brown shirt (or a purple shirt or a pink Hello Kitty shirt or any shirt) is not fine if it is worn with a Nazi tie and you are wielding a swastika flag, as shown above. That guy's tie is also too short btw and he has hip flare . . .

A brown shirt with brown shoes and belt is fine in theory but (as with anything) I would have to see the specific getup that you are talking about.
