Brown Shoes And Black Jacket Ok?

[MatttTheMod]

Just wanted to know peoples opinions on casual and work out fits with this combination. Bit strapped for cash to fork out for new jackets to replace my pea-coat and Harrington, which are both black.

Is brown shoes with a black jacket a major no no? Also the same question to navy suit, brown shoes and black peacoat?

I know the major rule is no black trousers or belts with brown shoes, but what about the rest of the outfit? I have a lot of black in my wardrobe

Thanks for any guidance.

I personally find black shoes with black upper just looks better. But then I contradict myself by saying I don't mind black jeans with brown shoes sometimes.

It's fine!!

I wear my black pea coat with brown brogue boots, skinny indigo jeans and a brown belt. No one has ever remarked that the colours don't go (my female flatmates do have a habit of letting me know when I slip up).

However, I would veer away from wearing black, brown and navy in a formal outfit. If your strapped for cash there's a rather lovely camel trench coat in H and M now at the moment for only about 60 something quid. Would look great with a navy suit.

I reckon you'd be alright with the black pea coat!
