Hi, I need some help. I have bought this suit (The fit on the model on the photo is not good but it is a really good slim fit)




And I want to match it with one of this three carmina Rain:





Dark Brown cordovan







Navy cordovan







Black calf





I want to wear the combo in night and day weddings and similar ceremonies


What colour do you choose? My favorite model is navy cordovan but I worry that the fit may be too blue




Thanks!

I think all three pairs look good, but if navy is your favourite, then I would opt for those. I happen to like the brown ones, another person may suggest the black pair. I guess it comes down to personal choice.

It does come down to personal choice, but I'd advise against the navy. Navy is kinda an "advanced" color - meaning it's very beautiful, but it is less versatile. You will have a lot more opportunities to wear and really enjoy the other two colors. That said - the navy looks very nice and you will enjoy that, too. Personal choice.

You want dark brown, they'll go well with almost any setting you'd be wearing that suit in. Black is a solid conservative choice but that's very business only. Burgundy would look great as a less conservative choice while still being dressy. Navy will look weird, colorful shoes should contrast not blend in, the dressier the outfit the more subtle the contrast but even with a tux you get visual contrast with highly polished shoes against the wool suit.
