Matching Your Belt With Your Shoes

Matching Your Belt With Your Shoes
You've heard me say it before and I'll say it again: when it
comes to men's fashion, the rule is, shoes to match the belt,
and socks to match the pants. If you want to look polished, this
is an easy rule to follow. However, like most rules, it's not
necessarily just cut and dry. How closely should the belt and
shoes match? Must they be the exact same color? The answer
is no, they really don't need to be the exact same color, or the
exact same material, for that matter. When matching belts and
shoes, you can think of them as matching in the same color
family. They don't even need to exactly match, rather they just
need to "go together." Because of this, a chestnut colored
belt goes very well with a reddish-brown pair of shoes. A pair
of shoes that are dark brown will go well with a similar dark
brown belt. The belt and the shoes really do not need to be the
exact same color, which is fortunate, because unless you are
purchasing a set, this can be difficult to do
anyway. Colors that would not be in the same family would
be, for example, a dark reddish-brown belt with a tan pair of
shoes. In this case, you would be better off opting for a light
brown belt. Obviously, pairing a black pair of shoes with a
brown belt won't pass, either. Now, just when you thought
you had the rule down, I am going to throw in another slight
exception here. The degree to which your shoes and belt match
may also vary depending on the kind of look you are trying to
achieve. For example, if you want to look extremely approachable
and professional for a business networking event, then you
should not deviate from the rule as listed above. Your tie
knotshould be perfectly straight, your shirt should be ironed,
and your shoes and belt should be in the same color family.
However, what if you want to appear a little more edgy or
daring? Can you get away with tying a scarf around your waist, a
la Steven Tyler, rather than a belt? Sure, as long as you can do
it with confidence! The rule here would be to only pick one
element with a pattern. So if you want to wear a flashy blue and
red belt with your jeans, stick to shoes that are solid colored
either blue or red. If you wish to wear a white pair of
shoes, which is not a bad look for summer, don't wear a white
belt (unless you want to look like an extra on Saturday Night
Fever). Opt instead for a brown or grey belt, whichever best
matches your pants and shirt. If you can find a belt with a
white accent, such as a brown belt with white stitching, this is
a great choice. Black belts tend to look a little too stark with
white shoes. When matching your shoes and belt, don't go
overboard with trying to be exact. Let your general fashion
sense dictate your look. You would never wear a chocolate brown
shirt with chocolate brown pants, would you? No, because this
would be very monochromatic. With shoes and belts, it is okay
for them to be different color variations. Just select shades
within the same color family in order to look polished. The
colors don't need to exactly match, they just need to
coordinate. www.suitswhere.com
