Brown Shoes Are In! But How Does The Gentleman Know How To Wear Them?

Back in the 1950’s the motto was “No brown in town”, meaning that brown was only for casual and the country. Times have changed! Our culture is much more casual today than in the ’50’s and the resurgence of brown offers a plethora of choices for the well-dressed man.

Unlike black, brown comes in a variety of shades. Brown gains character from the patina it develops after being worn multiple times. However, black still remains the recommended choice for conservative white-shirt business settings and formal evening occasions.

Brown shoes come in a wide range of colors and styles. The most versatile option is an Oxford style in a dark shade of brown with leather sole. Lighter shades of brown and rubber soles are always more casual. However, these are the perfect shoe for jeans, cords, khakis and similar casual trousers. Tweeds and plaids in heavier fabrics also project a casual, country appearance. Chukka boots and suede shoes are great casual choices. Wear those comfortable loafers with sport jackets and casual pants but not with a suit. If you are a creative guy, your casual look is where you can shine by adding brightly colored shoe laces, patterned shoes or shoes with patterned fabric inserts.

Charcoal grey and dark navy suits will look best with black shoes but medium grey and the popular bright navy can be worn with black, dark brown or a cherry brown shade. Always choose a dark brown shoe to wear with a dark brown suit; never black. Pinstripes are professional business attire so black is the best choice for them.

If you are just building your shoe wardrobe, black still remains the universal shoe. Your first choice should be a black cap-toe Oxford that can be worn for business while being able to transition into dressy evening. Next, add a dark, professional looking brown Oxford. After that, choose the look that best reflects your lifestyle. Many men enjoy having a large selection of shoes to fit every occasion. Don’t forget to match the belt color to the shoes you will be wearing. You may even want to get a little daring and wear braces. Of course, one never wears a belt with braces.

Now, stand a little straighter and enjoy your new look!
