The green light situations: Creative corporate offices, agency environments, and informal business meetings Business dinners and networking events where personality in dress is expected Cocktail events and evening social gatherings that do not require black tie The red light situations: Black-tie events and formal galas - only black footwear is appropriate with a tuxedo or full black-tie ensemble Strictly formal weddings where a black suit is dress code - the brown shoe will read as insufficiently formal Funerals and religious formal occasions If your wardrobe centers around a black suit, consider exploring our custom suits designed to pair across multiple settings, or our range of custom 3-piece suits that give you the jacket, trousers, and waistcoat for maximum versatility
