When wearing a black suit, by default, you’ll likely put on a pair of black leather shoes. It’s the standard choice and we can’t blame you for automatically resorting to the monotone suit and shoe combination. However, don’t feel like you’re only limited to black shoes whenever you put on a black suit. For that matter, forget the age-old fashion rule of not pairing black and brown, whether it be black or brown accessories or garments. Now more than ever, fashion and personal style are just that – personal. It’s about how you want to wear, what you want to pair and how you want to express yourself.
