Shoe colors and their combinations with clothes

Black

Black color boots and shoes are a win-win and optimal option for men’s closet. Stylists claim that black oxfords are the most elegant shoes, but it narrows the options of combinations with clothes. For example, black oxfords look spectacular with elegant pants and are not suitable for jeans.

Brown

The abundance of brown tones allows you to choose shoes for almost any occasion (except for the strictest dress codes). Brown shoes and boots will help to make the image individual. The lighter the brown tone, the more informal the image can be.

Such shoes are perfectly combined with chinos pants. The main thing is that the color of shoes and pants did not merge. There should be a difference of at least a few tones.

Warm tones of brown are a good option for combination with blue pants or indigo jeans. But such shoes should be informal.
