I just bought a pair of black monk strap shoes for 95 at BR (40% off), I was planning on wearing them with jeans, I just saw this chart should I return them and search for a better deal else wear since they dont have brown? Any suggestions on wingtip/ double monk shoes for under 150?

$150 is sort of no-mans land for shoes IMO. You might find some AE or Alden seconds on sale for close to 150, but that would be rare. AE Strands in walnut (select sizes) are on sale for like 215 with a 20% off coupon and free shipping (normally like $350 shoes). You're not going to find firsts for that cheap almost anywhere else.
I'd either suck it up and spend the extra 50-75 bucks or save some money and buy ~$100 florshiems or something. Also check out /r/frugalmalefashion
And I think black double monks would look odd with jeans
