Settle a Fashion Argument Here at The Office

[Pull_T]

Light/Medium Grey Suit.

- Brown Shoes/Grey Socks

- Black Shoes/Black Socks


I say the former...brown shoes and grey socks since you always wear socks the color of the slacks/pants. Black/Black is fine too but doesn't look as classy.

Colleague, (Joe Idiot) says no way on brown shoes.

Who is correct?

[Always Dirty]

I would agree with him, but I never like mixing browns and blacks. I'm sure there's a racial joke in there somewhere.

Wearing a Charcoal suit, with a faint burgundy/tan strip....wearing argyle socks that are black, with grey, brown. French Blue shirt with red/burgundy tie that has some french blue & white squares....do I look like the office idiot?

black on black. let them kill themselves

[Adam_Schwartz]

Speaking of office antics, my co-worker mixed one can of Wolf chili with one can of Spam....it was nasty! He eats crazy shit like that all the time and is in very good shape (or at least he is not fat)

[Pull_T]

And the suit is not charcoal...it's "grey" with no silver sheen or anything.

I say he's a fool.

"mixing browns and blacks"

I'm not mixing browns and blacks...I'm not a hitman wearing a black shirt and tie with my grey suit. Shirt is actually stark white.

[Always Dirty]

All the google responses I'm getting say black too. But I swear I've seen dark-ish brown with dark charcoal and it looks good. Not sure about gray though. Where's ric when you need him...

Well, gray is a shade of black and brown shoes are, well...

Opinions are like assholes...

...everyone has them and they all finger them when they masturbate.

Shoes for Gray Suit
Q.I was wondering what color shoes I can wear with a gray suit. I have been told black, but I have also seen dark cherry type color. What color do you recommend?

A.Black is best. However; cordovan (dark cherry) is not bad if the gray suit (sport coat, etc.) is casual. If the suit is dressy, black is best.

[Peacefrog]

I think gray and brown looks fucked up.

[Pull_T]

See...to me, a lot hinges on whether the suit is "satiny" or has a silver sheen to it whther black is best.

[Pull_T]

I think gray and brown looks fucked up.

Well, so does he.

Just trying to figure out if you two just have no discernment or whether I've made a fasion gaffe. I;m thinking the former.

[Peacefrog]

:dunno: who knows...you could be the trend setter.
