I have a mid-navy/ gray suit that I bought from J.Crew Factory. The buttons are currently black mixed with brown. I do not really wear brown dress shoes. I know that the buttons do not have to match the shoes and belt, but I was thinking about replacing the buttons with navy ones. Would you guys recommend that I keep the current buttons or do you think navy buttons will do me well.

Here are the buttons that I was looking at:

Here are the buttons. They are not as light as pictured.



Here is the full suit. Sorry about the quality, my phone didn't want to focus at all, but you can get a good idea of the color.

I would recommend you keep the buttons because the ones on there are perfectly fine, even if you only ever wear black shoes, and it's a hassle changing them.

FWIW, I agree with the above (and like the existing buttons better than your proposed choice). If you were going with some kick ass real horn buttons, might be a different story.
