Can I wear these with a suit/tux?

Hi,

I need a pair of shoes to wear with a tux. I came across these, but theyre not really formal shoes, do you think they would work okay with a tux?

I like them, I think they'd look good for formal wear

Technically brogues shouldn't be worn with a tux, you really want the plainest possible shoes- black cap toes. But they're not that bad and the fact they are patent will help. I'd be more concerned that they're boots, which I honesty don't think would look good with a tux.

No.

What's the occasion?
Are you just buying the shoes for the event, or do you more intend to have them for wear afterwards?

If it's for a serious hob-nob affair, you may need proper shoes.
However, for most of black tie events (balls / weddings / minor awards etc...), any black shoes will probably do.
I've got a blacktie wedding coming up and will just be donning my black brogue type shoes... they'll have a good shine on them beforehand.

If you are a quirky type of fella yes.

If you are a regular Joe then no.

Can you get them less shiny so you'll wear them more after?

They are for 2 University balls and for an interview I have coming up.

Think Im probably better of sticking with the standard shoes now though...

Student ball - sure.

Interview with regular suit - yes.

If it was wedding/non student event, I'd say no.

Really nice shoes though

They're shiny.

Good for looking up girls' skirts.






Sorry.
