Which colour shoes would be best with a charcoal suit?

I don't think you can go wrong with black. Did you have a colour in mind?

I was thinking black. It seems like tan is popular but I think that's better suited to light grey or navy suits? Maybe dark brown if my son really wanted brown?

Maybe I was the wrong poster to reply as I hate brown / tan shoes with suits 🤣

Yeah, if your DS can't be convinced to go with black then dark brown is the lesser of the brown / tan evils!

I don't like brown either. I think I'm on here looking for back up! So you were the perfect poster!
I'd ordered him some black shoes to try and he's just tried them and liked them. Our work here is done! Thank you. 🙌

My son just wore his school shoes which were black with his charcoal suit.

I'm glad that you think black looks nice with charcoal too. My DSs school shoes are hanging on by a thread otherwise we'd do the same.

Have a lovely shopping trip. It's nice seeing them all dressed up isn't it?!

Aww thank you! I go between feeling so proud and in deep denial that he's now so grown up!

LOL - having a very similar conversation at this end. Tan definitely seems to be 'in' .... perhaps coordinate with rust colour tie...otherwise personally think it 'pops' slightly too much!

Good luck :)

With grey or black suits only black shoes suit. Never brown! Looks terrible
