I know the saying of “no brown in town” in the UK but does that not apply for NYC? I live in NYC and have heard people say you should not wear black shoes with a navy suit. Is it ok to wear black shoes with a navy suit? Have heard conflicting opinions, and not really sure what the standard is. Always thought black looks better with navy.

You should've worn black anyway?

I don't think it matters in America what you wear. Brown is okay, black too... You do you!
Let's be clear.
Don't wear brown shoes in investment banking / MBB / Law.
I'm sure some philistines will MS me for saying that, but frankly they are just wrong.
