We are going to an uber-posh wedding in a couple of weeks. All outfits sorted (phew), except DS's shoes. He will be wearing a cream linen suit, white shirt (unoriginal, I know, but he does look v cute!). However, what sort of shoes? Black seems too formal, sandals too casual. All opinions welcomed

I'd do sandals. Maybe something like this

He doesn't need to be a formal as the adults, since he's only isze. If you feel you must do shoes, then brown, not black.

I like desret boots of little boys, like these

Plum has made the exact same two suggestions that I was going to.

DS has a beige linen suit which he wears with either baseball boots (if going smart casual) or desert boots (his are from H&M). Also like Plum's idea of Birkies.

like these but in brown.

That's what DS wears when he needs smart shoes.

More ideas - excellent! I like the Ben Sherman ones but I suspect they wouldn't stay on DS's feet! Ta everyone

I like the birkenstocks plum linked to. DS1 has the next versions which cost about £10.
