Anyone wear navy pants? I've usually stuck to black, grey, and khaki, but I got a pair of navy pants over the holidays and I'm trying to figure out what color dress shoes to wear them with.

I grew up with the "don't pair black and navy blue together" rule, but almost everyone I see wearing navy blue pants has the black shoes/socks/belt combo.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Chestnut or oxblood colors work with navy. Just make sure to match the belt.

I don't wear navy slacks very often I stick with black, grey and khaki but I have a deep navy pair that I wear with a dark chestnut colored pair of shoes

[General_Failure]

Match your socks to the pants, not the shoes.

^^^That's what I thought as well, but I've seen a lot of people wearing black shoes with khakis, and the brown socks/black shoes combo doesn't really work.


Phreak, that's what I was told by a friend, that a darker brown is usually the way to go. I've got a decent pair of brown shoes but I don't think they're dark enough brown to go with the navy. I have to invest in some navy socks as well.

Don't wear black with khaki. You know a lot of people who don't know how to dress themselves.

Well I'm mostly in a business casual setting in public schools, so 99% of the time I don't think they're going for a super professional look. Especially at the elementary schools, the dress code for male teachers seems a bit more relaxed with the younger kids for whatever reason.

I'm Brick Tamland. People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded.

i'm trying to class myself up at work a little bit so i am buying more button down shirts to wear for work and some khaki slacks.  so i take my slacks out of my bureau today and put them on with a dark blue/light blue/white checked shirt.  it looked really weird to me to so bailed and put on jeans.  i'm not sure if it actually was a bad match or if i wasn't used to seeing it so it looked weird.  i always thought pretty much everything went with khaki though.
