If you take off the jacket, brown with black will not look good.  If you do not take off the jacket, no one will know.  I always try to match the belt color with shoes or sneakers. 

 

Absolutely not sir. Always match belt with shoes and if you’re going navy suit I’d recommend brown belt and shoes over black.. just personal preference

 

In the Navy, everyone wears black shoes except the pilots, who wear brown shoes. It is somewhat prestigious to wear brown shoes.

What shade of brown?    For casual, I have dark brown and suede.  For dress, I have dark tan/cognac.

I mean all shades of brown including tan. I really like tan the best.

Dad always told me the rule is to match leather to leather (brown belt; brown shoes).

Loafers are fine for a Friday. I wouldn't make it a common dress choice unless you see your boss' boss do it first kind of thing. Sometimes "go along to get along" means more.
