We think men who know how to pull off a brown shoe (figuratively speaking), whether leather or suede, really know their stuff. Brown used to be the shoe colour du jour but now it seems that prizing some people out of basic black shoes or sneakers is a tricky task. The examples below show you how to wear them well. Wear co-ordinating socks or none at all, keep footwear clean and/or shiny, and to avoid looking old fashioned or dowdy make sure the rest of your outfit is neat and tailored. Easy!
