Black shoes with tan do look terrible, with brown not at all. Anyway, we were talking about brown shoes with gray suits, which has never been a no-no.

Looks good - I like the stripe spacing on the shirt (even if it is predominantly white ground

I don't love the sperm tie, and for monks to be conservative business dress (barely) they can't have a toe cap or medallion. Well, double monks can have a cap but those are not conservative business dress.

If I had to nitpick, I'd say I don't like the PS-fold and the way it squarishly (is that a word?) sticks out of the pocket.

The shirt, tie and ps are also very matchy matchy.

I'm sure Manton loves the socks though.
