Navy blazer
Dark blue shirt
Tan slacks


Black belt, black shoes.... Is that allowed with the blue shirt and jacket?

what do you mean by dark blue shirt? like royal blue or navy?

I have seen it work ok, but if the shirt is navy your problem is the jacket/shirt combo and not the choice of shoes/belt

1/7/2008 10:21:14 AM

nah the shirt isnt navy. It's more royal blue like you said



and yes im colorblind, hence my problem hahaha

you should be fine if it's what you got. brown shoes/ belt aren't going to make a huge difference.

1/7/2008 10:37:24 AM

I would go with brown shoes and belt. I like the blue/brown combo better than the blue/black combo

1/7/2008 12:04:01 PM

Brown belt and brown shoes

No. Brown shoes and brown jackets are allowed though.

You gotta make sure you get the blue shirt/blue jacket thing right. Wearing the same color blazer and shirt can be tricky.

youre fine. brown tends to look better, but as long as the belt/shoes match you can get by

agreed...you need to come look at my wardrobe and give me some pointers lol...i bought a brown belt at goodwill the other day that i adore so much, and some brown skechers at rack room on sale for 35, originally 60

only wimenz adore belts

The "Tan slacks" seal the deal--go with a brown belt and shoes. Every man should own good pairs of brown shoes and black shoes. Concerning the belt, if you get a reversible one, the problem is solved:

i always have to wear belts cause 32 is too tight with no crotch room, but 34 kinda sags off my waist...i got one of those swimmers builds with hourglass hips(no homo)

1/7/2008 1:05:20 PM

1/7/2008 1:06:35 PM

same exact situation here

1/7/2008 1:20:36 PM

shit sucks...i've literally wore a belt like 95 percent of the days since like 10th grade highschool

when i went home for christmas i saw a guy with sweatpants and a dress belt on

then i remembered why i never really fit in in rural nash county

[Edited on January 7, 2008 at 1:23 PM. Reason : ^you should wear a belt with any pants with belt loops, always]

1/7/2008 1:22:47 PM

my well-sculpted ass alleviates this problem

1/7/2008 1:24:29 PM

the only reason im doin black shoes/belt is because my brown shoes/belt are really busted looking (Just old and worn out)


According to a few fashion websites, black and blue are now more acceptable?

you don't swim

Are you wearing a necktie?

1/7/2008 3:14:51 PM

i think this might be one of those "if you have to ask..." scenarios

Yep. If there are belt loops but no belt, i.e. with a tucked-in shirt, it just looks stupid, and even if I'm not tucking in, it just feels incomplete without a belt. Not to mention that some of my pants like to fall down sans belt...

*I will never understand why waist sizes in men's pants can't be trusted. A 36-inch waist should be a 36-inch waist; I should not have 36's that are so tight I can barely fit into them and 36's that are loose enough that they fall down immediately if I'm not wearing a belt.
[/rant]

And while I know it might be difficult for a college kid on a budget, it really does behoove you to have a good pair of brown and a good pair of black shoes, and a reversible belt. Hit up Rack Room, DSW, Kohl's, etc. and you can get some good deals.

^and \/ - pants will also fit differently depending on how high they come up.

a lot of it can be due to the cut of the pants overall in addition to the waist, but i agree

^^^^ I'm colorblind.
I ALWAYS have to ask

Maybe MORE acceptable. I still wouldn't wear them together

1/7/2008 3:22:40 PM

oh i do too...but i generally go by the rule that if i'm dressing myself and i'm unsure of something to the point that i need to ask someone if it's ok, i just nix the idea and go with something else. most of us have decent fashion sense when we don't put too much thought into it

1/7/2008 3:23:53 PM

^haha true

The only reason Im tryin to push the blue black is because my brown belt and brown shoes arent exactly in the best of condition

1/7/2008 3:29:39 PM

i mean i guess it depends on how it all comes together, and blue and black certainly isnt a huge faux pas, but i'd probably go with the brown as long as it was a darker brown and not TOO ratty
