Which shoes do you pair with which suit?

A stylish outfit often revolves around the right suit, but shoes are equally important. Yet they are frequently overlooked. The wrong shoes can disrupt a carefully curated look, while the right choice completes your outfit. Especially when there's no specific dress code, it can be challenging to determine what works. At GENTS, we're happy to advise you on the perfect combination of shoes and suits, so you never doubt yourself in front of the mirror again.

Timeless shoes with a classic blue suit

A blue suit is a menswear classic and offers many shoe options. Cognac-coloured shoes provide modern contrast and make the blue stand out even more. Prefer a subtle look? Then opt for dark blue leather shoes, which create a calm ensemble without becoming dull. Both choices enhance the stylish and versatile appeal of a blue suit.

Stylish shoes with a sharp black suit

For formal occasions such as a gala or funeral, a black suit is the norm. This calls for black shoes, such as neat leather lace-ups or patent leather shoes with a tuxedo. For a less formal setting where you still want to wear black, dark grey lace-ups offer an alternative. These provide subtle distinction without losing elegance.

Characteristic shoes with a versatile grey suit

A grey suit is versatile, but your shoe choice is decisive. Grey shoes under a grey suit create a monotonous look. Whereas contrasting coloured shoes give the suit character and style. Black, brown or cognac-coloured shoes add character and style to the suit. Pair this with a plain white shirt for a business-like and refined appearance.

Elegant shoes to wear with a coloured suit

Pastel green, light pink or sky blue: a coloured suit exudes confidence. The right shoes create balance in your look. Brown or cognac-coloured shoes form a natural and elegant combination. Blue or white lace-ups are perfect with a soft green suit and add a fresh and contemporary touch.

Step outside your comfort zone with loafers and sneakers

Want to deviate from traditional combinations? Loafers and neat sneakers give a suit a sporty and contemporary feel. Just make sure your suit isn't cut too slim. A slim fit suit draws attention to your shoes, whereas you want the overall picture to work harmoniously.
