What Color Dress Shoes Does A Man Wear With A Light Grey Mens Suit - Male Style Tips Advice
Hi. I’m Antonio Centeno, the founder of Real Men Real Style. And today we’re going
to be talking about what color of shoes to wear with a light grey suit.
Okay. If you haven’t already, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. By doing that, these
videos will come right to you. In addition, if you like this video, if you find it useful,
I would appreciate it if you would Like it down below. And finally, I’m going to be
linking you to an article on the grey suit. So that’s right down here and it’s right
below the link, because I also would link it to the page where you can get my free 47-page
e-book. It’s a great e-book. I get compliments on it every single day. It’s full of solid
info. But again, right below that is going to be the link to the article on the grey
suits, so if you want to read more about light grey suits.
Okay. I received this question from tbone007princess. All right, tbone, we need to talk about that
name. Things like this, is why I love you too. “Great videos. I have a light grey
suit that is mainly worn at fairly informal weddings and such in the summer. My question,
do brown shoes and belt work with a light grey or am I best off just sticking with the
black? As a side note, if this helps, I’m young, tall and a slim individual with dark
brown hair.”
All right. Well, tbone007princess, good question and let me go ahead and hit it on this. Okay.
So black is safe. Black, you’re not going to get in trouble with. Once you start getting
into brown shoes, and it depends on how conservative you are, all of a sudden, yes it does get
the belt more questionable. But I can tell you that if it’s a light grey suit, brown
shoes and a brown belt, if you want to match as you always, is perfectly fine.
And especially since again, you’re again, you’re young and it sounds like you’re
tall and thin. Now, if you were, let’s say short and petite then I would say, maybe go
for something that closer matches the grey and maybe even go for a little bit darker
grey. And what that’s going to do is create a slimmer silhouette. Lighter suits, they
sometimes can make it look little bit wider. And if you go with something that has bit
of too much for contrast, it’s going to draw attention, let’s say to the feet or
to the mid section, then that what’s brown does sometimes.
But it sounds like you’ve got a built which this is going to complement. So I would say
go with the brown. Where you’ve got – and where the confusion comes from is that, if
you look at the family of grace, I mean they’re variations of blacks. So it’s black with
white introduced. And so it goes back to, you’re not supposed to mix black with brown.
Now I don’t completely agree with that because I’ve seen some very stylish men pull this
off. But that’s the key word, is you’ve got to understand the basics of style.
So my advice – I mean if you’re asking a question like this, is to go to my Style
Guide or to go to Ask Andy, to go to Style Form, to go buy a book by you know, Bernhard
Roetzel or Alan Flusser and start reading up on the sex. It’s really – once you
get those fundamentals down, then you start to look at this and you realize that it’s
not really that complicated of a question.
It’s actually a offshoot of a very easy one. And the easy one is, normally you don’t
mix the black and brown unless you understand the rules. And once you understand the rules,
then you can bend them and you can wear whatever you want. You just – again, wear it with
confidence and it sounds like, again, what I would focus on is to make sure that light
grey suit fits you and go out there and look great.
All right. This is again Antonio Centeno with Real Men Real style. I hope you enjoyed the
video and I’ll see in the next one. Bye-bye.
