    I was looking at a new suit today that I REALLY liked and will probably go back and buy it tomorrow. Only thing is its navy - - what colour shoes do you wear with a navy suit? Can I wear black or will that make me look like I work for CIE?! Thanks!

    Black is fine, or dark brown.

    Mens shoes are more often then not in 3 basic colours, black, brown (tan) and oxblood. Classically brown and oxblood are casual and never worn in the evening while black is smart and business like.
    What are you wearing the suit for? If for casual then oxblood is wonderful with navy. If you are wearing it for business then black is really your only choice. To look sharp and well turned out then black is the best.
    Make sure your belt and watchstrap (if leather) matches the shoes. It's an simple thing to do but ruins the effect of wearing a suit if you get it wrong.
    With the right shirt and tie you will not be mistaken for wearing a CIE uniform. :-)
