Matching dark chili shoes to belt

[kbreit]

I’m looking at Allen Edmonds St Johns double monk strap shoes in dark chili. I think I’d prefer an oxblood or burgundy but they don’t offer it so dark chili it is. However they don’t sell a dark chili belt. What should I match it to?

I am looking to pair with jeans and chinos, maybe some slacks depending on how I feel.

I think dark brown or burgundy should be fine. There’s no need to try to match.

I agree that an exact match isn’t necessary (and might not be desirable). Be that as it may, AE does make their Manistee belt in Dark Chili. It’s even on sale now: https://www.allenedmonds.com/accessories/belts/dress-belts/manistee-dress-belt/74006-030-STD.html
