Never wear brown in town. All you need to know.
You can wear brown with pretty much anything except black suits. Just avoid square toes, keep it conservative. Cap toe shoes are always a good bet.
use the search this topic has come up a thousand times. Go for cap toes, nothing with a square toe, black or brown
Footwear in IB can be a great conversation starter and way to ingratiate yourself/relate to the senior bankers.
Here are some responses for when your jelly coworkers ask about your creative footwear:
flip flops in summer - "Sorry, I just got back from the Nantucket and didnt have time to change into my loafers"
golf shoes - "sorry, just got back from playing Wee Burn and didnt have time to change out of my golf shoes"
squash shoes - "Sorry, just got back from playing squash at the Harvard club and didnt have time to change out of my squash soes"
sailing booties - "sorry, just got back from sailing out at Larchmont, didnt have time to change!"
ski boots (winter only) - "Sorry, I just got back from my condo in Okemo and didnt have time to change out of my ski boots."
etc
Be creative! Remember, ABNASO - always be networking and showing off!
only pair necessary
Actually for summer you could pull the "I just got back from Zermatt and apparently someone dropped my bag when they were loading it into the G6. Someone will pay. For now I will wear ski boots."
Gamos all day son
Or you can play it safe and get a nice pair of cap toes
just no square toes.
Unless you work in ops, those guys seem to like it.
So do you buy brown captoes? Or just keep it to black? I have a pair of black captoes already.
just get park avenues
depends on your office, if you see other people having some brown ones you could get some as well, slightly risky.
If your getting bored of the one pair of black captoes get some open, some closed oxfords, maybe introduce a wingtip into your collection. Monk strap maybe an option if your office is more adventourus.
park ave to start, horsebits thereafter.
If in M&A black oxfords>black derbies If in Capital markets same as in M&A + black loafers
No rubber soles Brown is for farmers
For everyone hating on brown shoes, what color shoes do you wear with charcoal, grey, or navy suits?
black
