Its not a harsh black, it has depth to it

They want a new, fresh perspective in the next titleholder

And brown shoes go fine with brown trousers because while the color is similar, the difference in materials between trousers and shoes is enough to visually differentiate the two (unless someone is wearing leather pants, but Ill assume that excludes most Permanent Style readers.) I would personally favour an oxblood (close to Horween colour 8) or navy pair, also I think most suedes would work in any colour for a more casual look, with black suede registering less formal than black calf etc

However, if the place is really swanky and still allows casual wear, opt for jeans and a button-down of some sort and leather boots
