Black shoes and brown belt?
Is it acceptable to wear black shoes with a brown belt or should I buy a black belt? This is for a navy suit.

i mean you could also go brown on brown lol, just dont do black on brown
If you can remember just one fashion rule this may be it- do not mix black/brown belt and shoes.
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
Yeah, my next pair will be a darker brown pair of shoes. Black is pretty middle of the fairway too
No
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.
No chance this is ever acceptable full stop
Dad always told me the rule is to match leather to leather (brown belt; brown shoes).
Maybe a similar question - Is “no brown in town” true in the US? I have black and brown dress shoes and matching belts. My office is apparently business casual for the summer.
Separately how appropriate are loafers or something like Chelsea boots in the office? Dark leather / suede.
No, which is just another reason we are better than the UK
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.
looks nice
Never mix and match leather my friend. That is unforgivable
