Black & Blue Suiting
Pairing a blue suit with black shoes is an American past time. Over the last decade, style experts has sung the praises of pairing brown shoes with your blue suits tapping to tap into a more European, pushing black footwear to the background. This fall, give traditional American styling nod and rock your black double monk strap shoes with your blue suits (and dark wash denim).
- Like these double monk strap shoes, there are three things want to look for; Quality Leather, Sleek Silhouette and a high shine
- Most blue suits pair well with black shoes, however; hues that are have a darker base will complement them best
- Buttons: Dark suit jacket buttons will look best with black shoes. Next time you see a guy with a navy suit with corozo brown buttons and they paired with black shoes — the difference will be jarring to the eye
- The deep hues and in dark rinse denim are great casual pairing with you black shoes too–just trust me.
Great post Sabir, those shoes look amazing! I was wondering if you could maybe do a review of the suit on look 2 from StudioSuits. They’ve been on my radar for a while as an affordable MTM, but I’m still not sure about the overall quality. Thanks!
Jay,
Happy that you like the post! I’ll be doing a review on many of their suits in the near future. This particular suit is light as hell and drapes perfectly. I’m a fan.
Great looks. I sent you an email a few weeks ago. Let me know if you didn’t receive.
Hey Dominic,
Thanks and sorry about the email delay! Check your email when you get the chance!

Went with the monochromatic as it’s the least intuitive in green and the “ghostbusters and adult toddler” analogies were spot on.
Chad,
Monochromatic green isn’t an intuitive look, even though, it’s one of the 1st ones I would think of outside of all black everything. Glad to see you like my random ass analogies. Just had to keep it real.

That third look has something that peaks my interest. I’m unsure what it is. I like it.
Therefore I voted for that. This does make the double monk strap in black something to consider too.
“Because you don’t want to look like a Ghostbuster or adult toddler rocking a one-piece” Ha ha! Love this bit.
