I am certain there’s some article from GQ or Esquire someplace providing up some sizzling take about why it’s best to solely put on brown footwear with “earth tones” or another such factor… very similar to not sporting white after labour day, or not mixing gold and silver jewelry.
Blah blah blah. It is fairly handy that these “guidelines” all got here from the identical business that has a vested curiosity in speaking you into shopping for extra garments and equipment in order that you do not commit any trend crimes. As a reformed shopaholic who wasted a scandalous sum of money on clothes in younger maturity, I positively fell for it and really a lot take into account all of it to be a little bit of a rip-off.
In case you ask me, the one rule that basically applies as of late is to “do no matter works”, even when it may appear unconventional. Clearly making an allowance for the costume code of wherever you are going… which could presumably say “No Operating Footwear”… however certainly not “No brown footwear with black pants”.
Now, if I had an infinite wardrobe with an infinite provide of persistence and baggage house, Iwould brown footwear and black pants be my first alternative? Candidly, no. From a styling perspective, it is a considerably imperfect mixture.
Nevertheless it all comes right down to how YOU really feel about it. Even for those who really feel it would not essentially look good, is that one thing you can overcome for the sake of not having to purchase/pack one other pair of footwear? If sure, I might not sweat it in any respect.
To solidify the purpose, I Googled “brown footwear and black pants” and located this nice graphic with three examples. Completely nothing fallacious with any of this in my opinion.
Would it not look higher with black footwear? Sure. Does it look unhealthy or fallacious for my part? No.
