Can I wear these with a suit?

[k4lnamja]

Could I wear these with a suit on a daily basis at the office?

Cheers

Nope, only appropriate for beachwear.

Of course they're good for suits, what else would you wear them for?

Agree with Tony. Would see no qualms wearing those shoes with a suit. I guess the only thing you can screw up on is if you wore them with a Black suit...

After all of the material I've read on SF I thought you cant wear wing tips with a suit.

Really? I've never heard of that, but it seems silly.

If you really mean daily they'll wear out like any other shoe. If you mean routinely it's up to you.

That's what I thought too but since most of you are Sartorial God's those comments have stuck with me from the get go.

Nevermind then.

Cheers and thanks

So I searched it and apparently people think it's too casual for a suit... in today's world, I think that's ridiculous as most people wear sneakers and flip flops everywhere. If you're wearing any kind of lace up, people think it's for a special occasion. Even then, maybe .05% of the population will notice that you're wearing "wingtips with a suit" and think it's inappropriate.

That's exactly why I opted to ask you Gents. It's a Santoni FAM that I purchased recently from a fellow SF member. Can't wait to wear them to the office . . . in my suit

Cheers

If it's a rule you can't wear wingtips with a suit, I think it's a rule most people forgot, so you're fine.

Those shoes would look great with a navy or grey suit.

The magazines the layman reads tell him he can wear chuck taylors with his suit.

Those could be brogued all the way to bottom of the heel, and they'll look more appropriate than what your coworkers are likely to wear. People who don't wear wingtips with a suit are the same people who say you can't wear tweed in the city.

Much better if it is Black.

I'm not overly fond of black brogues. Seem like they have an identity crisis.
