Cross-post from WAYWRN. This is my second post in this thread. First was nearly two years ago, and of course I was caned. Interested to see whether I will be caned again.

The colors of the photos may be off, but is that a brown suit with black shoes?

 

[Pliny]

yeah what's up with that ^^^ Cox? You're not supposed to do that.
I do like the suit. Brown suits'r tricky with shoes, but a cognac/tan oxford or tobacco suede might work well.

There is absolutely no rule against black shoes with brown suits.

 

[Caustic Man]

I'm pretty sure there is a rule against black anything with brown. A rule that is oft broken to great affect I might add.

 

[unbelragazzo]

Affect or effect? At least there is no good taste rule against it.

Dunno about good taste, but it's definitely a thing.

 

[Pliny]

It is fugly. There is def a rule against that.

 

[Coxsackie]

OK, well, let's just imagine for a moment that one is unaware of any rule against black shoes with brown suit.

Assuming that (admittedly highly theoretical) limitation, is my outfit in good taste? Thanks.

 

[unbelragazzo]

I like black shoes with brown suit. I'm less convinced by brown tie with brown suit.

Supposing that I have good taste (admittedly highly theoretical) I might demur that your tie choice robs the fit of the piquancy that contrast provides and that your linen hank would be more properly angled up to the shoulder than to the lapel.
