The Ultimate Guide To Wearing A Blue Suit With Brown Shoes

It doesn’t matter if you wear suits all the time, or (like me) not as often you’d like:

I think you’ll agree that there’s just something undeniably dapper about the combination of a blue suit and brown shoes.

The blue-brown combo is one of the most classic color pairings in menswear, and for obvious reasons.

Blue conveys a cool sophistication, while brown adds an earthy ruggedness; together, they provide that perfect combination of sharp-meets-strong that so many of us strive for.

The problem is that suiting up in style involves a lot more than just wearing the right color combo.

I wish I could say that you’ll look like a catalog model or a movie star as soon as you throw on a blue suit and strap on a brown pair of shoes.

But the truth is that there’s so much more that goes into making the look work.

Fortunately, once you learn the ins and outs of pairing blue suits and brown shoes, you won’t just know how to wear the look—you’ll know how to rock it.

Below you’ll find everything you need to know to look sharp and stand out while rocking a blue suit with brown shoes.
