This is for work, too.

Can you wear brown dress shoes with black slacks, shirt and tie?
generally in men%26#039;s fashion, the socks are supposed to match the pants and the shoes are usually the same color as well. i think it would really depend on what colors are in the shirt and tie.. if they are mostly brown then it would be ok but still not the best choice.
Reply:Always make sure your socks are the same color as your shoes. Black %26amp; brown go together,but in this case,I think not.

But you can wear black shoes with brown trousers, depending on the shades of black or brown.


Wear brown with lighter coloured greys or tans, and also be aware that brown can clash horribly with blue, particularly dark blue.


And for business, I%26#039;d not recommend a black shirt, unless 1) You are working for a criminal enterprise 2) You are working somewhere so artsy that you can wear whatever you want, or 3) Your job is being %26quot;Mr. Rourke%26quot; from Fantasy Island, or as a %26quot;well-dressed%26quot; cast member on any television show from the 80%26#039;s, or 4) You are a member of Nazi Germany%26#039;s Waffen SS.


If you work in banking, cororate america, accounting, finance, law, or anything traditrional, stick with a white, blue, yellow, or pink shirt, white being the best and easiest choice.
