    Hi all,
    im looking for advice on what to wear with these shoes Im after buying.
    http://www.zappos.com/johnston-murphy-conard-wingtip-tan-calfskin-beige-linen
    Im torn between a linen suit that i have worn with them before, or a new Paul Smith Navy suit im after buying. I'd love to wear the Paul Smith, but am open to recommendations on tie-shirt could combos and what would work well. Im a red head if this makes any difference.
    This is all for an upcoming wedding but i'd also like to wear them casually more often but again am struggle to match them with anything. Would traditional fit dark blue jeans work?
    anyway any info would be great
    cheers

    Nice shoes! I think a navy suit would go very well with them. Shirt wise, I think a white shirt looks so nice with a navy suit, very crisp and clean. A tie with red in it, or maybe some marigold yellow could work. Navy goes with most colours which is great!

    Thanks for the tip, yeah I love the shoes alright. I'm a red-head so what are your opinions on wearing a dark olive green Ted baker tie with it? Not sure the red in a tie could be carried with the color of my hair.

    Personally I'm against white shirts with brown shoes, so I would say go for a light blue. That might also suit your colouring as well. You are also right about wearing the tie, olive green with light blue and the navy suit would be a nice combo actually. And you could pep it up with a colourful pocketsquare.

    So something like:
