Sounds like u semi following what i wrote the last time

Its pretty much all depends on what u like. Hard to go mega wrong with any type of Oxford for formal / semi formal events. To come with my own personal opinion i prefer classics in black or dark brown without any "hole" patterns.

brown look nicer imo

dam so many black votes!

brogues are for wankers, honestly. I work in London, the city and only graduates come in wearing things like brogues or shit like that, its as appropriate as wearing a tuxedo.

Theres some beautiful shoes out there by similar shoemakers that make brogues - like churches, santoni, etc, but without the perforations or tassles an shit.

but to answer your question - its brown shoes for navy blue trousers and black shoes for black trousers. not hard to fuck that up.

edit:



i now that see someone else already posted along the same lines as me.

oh my

i own more than 20 pairs of designer formal shoes, if you want something decorative or overly flashy they don't need to be cliche brogues.

The "wildest" ones i own are these Ted Bakers:



and these Santoni:

damn these are too fly for me, just need something decent for work. not too flashy or anything

but the brogues are like.. cliche flashy though? the first pair werent expensive either, i think they were less than £100. forget about the second pair.

look for "formal shoes" but not "brogues"

unless the rest of your outfit is this:
