hihi first time here, and in urgent help :) background: asian chinese living in singapore.

i will be wearing this suit in cream color as attached (ignore the bottom, both top and bottom is cream color).

i am shortlisting the shoe to buy and wear . there are three colours (4 designs).

1. light brown (or do u call that tan color)
2. white
3. black 1
4. black 2

Which shoe would u choose? and which you would not choose? or is there a more appropriate colour i should get?

also, what color of tie would you recommend assuming my shirt is white color as you can see from the first pic.

lastly, if i am wearing a black suit with white shirt, which design of shoes would you choose assuming the above 4 are all black.

thanks!

All but the third pair of shoes look lousy. And the third is too formal for the clothing. Therefore, number four probably would be best, despite the textured toe. A light brown pair of leather bluchers would be better than anything pictured.

oh, i guess u mean the style of the shoes should be either oxford or blucher? however, i am concerned with the colour too. would i be right to say that any light brown (ranging from the first picture colour) would be fine ?

Bluchers with a tux?  


Yes, you're right, it is a tuxedo and therefore the third pair isn't too formal in that sense but it's still incompatible with a white tuxedo. Actually, putting white laces on the second pair probably would make that the best choice.

Sleeves too long, also, but both can be fixed by a tailor and that's off-topic.
