Brown Shoes with Navy Blue Suit?

What do you guys think about brown shoes with a navy blue suit... Like this one in the pictures. Not to wear for interviews but I guess after you get the internship.

Navy and brown are a timeless classic. Completely fine for interviews. Might stick to darker hues of brown though. Closer to the first pic than the second.

 

I'm sorry to get off topic, but am I the only one that thinks that in both pictures (especially the first) that the pants are extremely tight?

No, you're not. Nobody would wear nut-huggers like that in a professional environment.
 

Agree with comments. I'm not a big fan of the blue and black shoe combo myself. I stick the navy blue/brown combo.

This to all my hatin' folks seeing me getting guac right now..

Why are you on pinterest?

It's congruous that someone with your username would ask such a question.

The one Michael Ealy is wearing is not exceptionally tight. The camera perspective might make it seem like that, but you can tell from the fact that it falls uninterrupted from the crotch that it isn't too tight; if it were, you would see so at the knee.
I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.

Interesting topic, the answer to this question is very much dependent on which country/company your in.
Here in Europe for example brown shoes with a navy shirt is OK in most countries except for the UK and Germany where they have the classical "No brown in town".

I agree, it's as a matter of preference. I would wear black shoes with a navy suit.
