if you're talking about professional/formal wear than brown shoes and black pants = no. But for casual, it is ok and can be fashionable if done right.

As long as you pop the collar, you're cool.

Not always. It's definitely acceptable to wear black and brown together if it's done right. I wear darker brown pants, black shoes, and black belt with a light colored polo shirt weekly. This is fashionably acceptable.

Dark brown pants with black shoes is okay.

But black pants with brown shoes is a no-no. If it doesn't stand out too much or at all, black is acceptable as accessories to the main clothing. But dark brown as an accessory to black looks tacky. I have very metrosexual friends. 😛

According to the Mens Warehouse, you can wear brown shoes if they match either your socks or your pants.

Why is this bad? I know you're not supposed to do it, but I don't understand it. I am clueless in this area.

 

[Liviathan]

Yes.
