This forum doesn't so much concern itself with what is in or out of fashion, but tan shoes would go fine with a light grey suit, as would brown shoes and as would black shoes. In-fact there aren't many shoe colours that wouldn't go with a light grey suit.

thanks you for the suggesstion, but was wondering what would be a good mix for a light grey suit, something very classy but stands out also.

Hard to go wrong really with a light grey suit w/pinstripes.

Plain white shirt is the easiest and looks great.

Pink shirt or white with pink check is nice.

I try to avoid blue ties with grey suits because I find that black (more subdued look) or something more colourful (red, pink, purple, green) looks better.
