A stylish outfit often revolves around the right suit, but shoes are just as important. Yet they are often overlooked. The wrong shoes can spoil a carefully chosen look, while the right choice completes your outfit. Especially when there is no specific dress code, it can be difficult to determine what works. At GENTS we are happy to advise you on the perfect combination of shoes and suits, so you never have to doubt in front of the mirror again.  

Timeless shoes with a classic blue suit 

A blue suit is a classic in men's fashion and offers many possibilities in terms of shoes. Cognac-coloured shoes provide a modern contrast and make the blue stand out even more. Prefer a subtle look? Then choose dark blue leather shoes, which create a calm whole without becoming dull. Both choices enhance the stylish and versatile appearance 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. Here belong black shoes, such as neat leather lace-up shoes or patent shoes with a tuxedo. For a less formal setting, where you still like to wear black, dark grey lace-up shoes offer an alternative. These provide a subtle distinction without losing elegance. 

Characteristic shoes with a versatile grey suit  

A grey suit is versatile, but the choice of shoes is decisive. Grey shoes under a grey suit create a monotonous whole. While contrasting coloured shoes give the suit character and style. Black, brown or cognac-coloured shoes give the suit character and style. Combine this with a plain white shirt for a businesslike and refined look. 

Elegant shoes for a coloured suit

Pastel green, light pink or sky blue: a coloured suit radiates courage. The right shoes provide balance in your look. Brown or cognac-coloured shoes form a natural and elegant combination. Blue or white lace-up shoes are perfect for a soft green suit and provide a fresh and modern touch.  

Out of your comfort zone with loafers and sneakers

Want to deviate from the traditional combinations? Loafers and neat sneakers give a suit a sporty and contemporary look. Make sure your suit is not too slim cut. A slim fit suit emphasizes your shoes, while you want the overall picture to be right.
