Matching woven shoe with woven belt?

[masqueofhastur]

You're supposed to have shoes and belt be the same colour. What about matching woven shoes with a woven belt?

like this type of shoe:

with this type of belt

Is that kind of matching required, or does it go to the point of overdoing the matching?

You could, but its really kind of overkill.

Those shoes would be fine with just a plain black leather belt, I don't think you need to replicate the weave pattern as well.

Definite overkill. You might add some visual interest going with something that does not come that close. Not crazy about those shoes BTW..

I'm not sure I'd try to match the weave pattern but I would wear a black casual belt. I'm not a fan of the shoes.

Thanks. I figured that was the case, but the shoe/belt colour matching rule was news to me a few years back, so I figured it was better to check.
