Black and Brown Dress Shoe Picks... Help!

[jimbean]

Greetings,


I'm rebuilding my wardrobe and was wondering what dress shoes you'd suggest. If you had to wear one pair of black and one pair of brown shoes for the rest of your like, which one's would you buy?


Thanks in advance for the help!

Personally, I'm not partial to black shoes and thereby think that two pairs of brown shoes would be a better, more worthwhile investment but that is personal opinion.


What do you plan to wear these with, everything? More information might be helpful. What's your budget? Do you wear a suit to work every day?


Assuming you'd like shoes that can do double duty both more formally and casually, I think the most versatile and bang-for-the-buck options would be a nice dark brown wingtip that can be dressed up and dressed down and a brown loafer of some type. An alternative to the loafer might be a brown chukka boot.
