Im new here, from Québec, somewhat I am more and more interested in my clothes styling but my job sector prevents me from beeing dressed well, on to my question now!

I am attending a wedding this saturday , Ill be wearing a black suit with a white standard shirt (no french cuffs) as well as a red tie .
the only black shoes I have are loafers
I do have dark brown wingtip style shoes as well as beige suede chukka boots and gray suede "chukka shoes"
I also have no money to spend on shoes now beeing on work accident and waiting on a couple paychecks

what should i wear , I know there are no real good options ?

thank you !

I would go with the loafers. The only color that goes with a black suit is black shoes. It is largely why black suits are so unpopular.

Give the loafers a good polish to make them shine and you'll be fine. Brown, beige or grey shoes with black is too wacky ;-)

I truly believe that a pair of black shoes will be the best option accordingly, take that shinning

I wouldn't wear loafers with a suit, only oxfords. Black oxfords in your case.

between the choices that you have, I would go for the black loafers.
pro-tip: Only wear black on funerals.

I totally agree that loafers don’t go with a suit. But as the OP pointed out, he’s got only black loafers and brown brogues. So have to agree with @dapperguy80
