I recently aquired a Ted Baker twill suit jacket and matching pants, advertised in 'blue'. It appears to have a gray to it..

I am looking to buy my first pair of wingtip oxfords, to wear with this jacket and trousers and it does not need to be very formal . I am unsure of what color shoes to go with, and what I should consider as far as colors for shirting other than white.. a very light blue was a thought I had. I have a very fair complexion .

Recommendations on shoe color with this suit? I will likely not be wearing this with a tie..


Black? Navy? I'd like to consider a light brown, but don't know if that would badly throw this off. I could wear a matching belt with any shoes.

A white button down is safe with this, and am thinking a light blue as well. Thanks In advance to answers on this and any opinions I'd appreciate.

These I like in a black, navy, and cafe brown. What about a much lighter brown? Closer to a tan? Recommendations appreciated..

I would go with walnut/tan or burgundy. Much more versatile than black or blue and the contrast is good. I don't know what brand those are, but you need to get something without the red tags.
