I am thinking about getting a pair of light brown/white calfskin spectators. What kind of belt would one wear with these shoes?

thanks

Since you are going to have a very hard time matching them I would wear a brightly coloured ribbon or woven belt with them.

Canvas D-ring is my first instinct. Light brown would be fine.

Almost any brown belt will be fine.

I'd wear a brown calf belt particularly if the shoes look dressy.

This. Don't even try to match the brown leather (no mitchy-matchy). Anything in the same color family will be great.
