Navy blue prom suit (boy) - what colour shoes?

[applesareredandgreen]

That really. DS was looking at black. DH reckons that in fashion shots and when worn in office jobs brown shoes are now the thing with a navy suit - although this is neither is working environment nor his 'look'.

I would have gone for black too - I want him to have things he can wear again in future if he needs a smart look.

What do others think?

Thanks

It's a look amongst some to wear brown shoes with a navy suit (like in photo) but I think it's become a bit dated and it's not really a look I like. I'd suggest black too

If he has black shoes he'll wear them again, brown shoes are a bit daytime or casual Fridays.

A dark dark chocolate brown - almost black - would look OK too though imo

Seems like the tend is brown shoes with blue suit, looks great IMO

Blue suede?

Definitely brown. Or even sort of dark neutral, ifyswim? Only black if the look he's going for is someone's uncle at a wedding!! Nice brown shoes are hear at for smart casual and suited up.

Blue would also look good but maybe not so useful for day-to-day.

I would say brown is only for daytime and black for a formal evening thing but I am not fashionable at all so don't really know! (ds is wearing a kilt to his so we don't have this issue!)

DS had a navy prom suit and insisted on dark brown brogues.

Brown for sure.

I'm in my mid 20s and every event I have been to in the past couple of years with blokes between 18-30 has them dressed in navy suits with brown shoes and brown belt.

Brown. DS and all his friends had brown shoes and belts with navy suits for their graduation like Crispy's pic. So much for individuality

Brown!

Where are folks getting their prom suits from? Ds is skinny - 26 waist and short - 5'6' but doesn't want one from the kids section.... but smallest we've found are 28 waist which swamp him...

I got my very skinny ds suit from River Island - he is 26 waist and wanted skinny everything - trousers, shirt, ties etc . We got blue with brown shoes !! They had very limited stock though and Next had sold out in his size - obviously lots of skinny teenage boys all after the same suits.

DS1(22) has a navy blue suit. He's got a pair of deep burgundy brogues that he wears with it. They look really, really nice especially as everyone else has brown shoes on.

get black
the blue suit and brown shoes look is dated

every wedding photo I see has the same look

Definitely brown. Every look dates eventually...

I'd say brown for day, but black for formal evening wear.
