4. White (dress) shirt during the day.A simple clean outfit combining black pants, brown shoes and a white t-shirt or dress shirt. Easy and it works. Accessories will become even more important.
5. Grey, black or blue (dress) shirt during the night.You want an extra style boost. You will get it with a darker outfit.

What Kind of Brown Shoes Should I Wear?

If you are wearing black wool pants:

• Brown oxford shoes. The most formal choice among the brown shoes. No problem, it will continue being a smart casual look. Oxfords are never the wrong choice with wool suit pants.
• Brown derby shoes. Slightly more casual. Do you know the difference between oxford and derby? Read our blog post to find out more.
• Brown wingtip shoes. The choice of the most stylish people. Usually, wingtip shoes are also brogue shoes so you will have the typical broguing on them.
• Brown boots. As long as the pants cover the ankle nobody will notice, so go ahead.

If you are wearing jeans or chinos:

• You can wear the same options as above but also brown sneakers.
