Those are beautiful specs, but that suit cries out for tan/brown specs not black IMO.

Agreed because that is a snappy suit...though the design of the specs is very nice BTW

I hear ya, well sorta. In this case, I think the b/w specs are better than brown/tan or brown/white as that would've created a rather monochromatic ensemble. But for the sake of argument, what can you pair with b/w specs?

Mind you, I have thought of picking up some some brown/white or brown/tan specs as well, but summer being what it is around here... I barely get to wear the one pair I currently have, so the thought of owning 2 pairs...

dark gray suit

white trousers

seersucker (although I prefer brown and [off]white in this case)

Anything you might wear with either black or white shoes, you can wear black and whites with.

You could be paying a tribute to the late MJ.
