But let&#8217;s not forget that dressing in a suit is not just the suit. Accessories are just as important as the suit. Tie, belt, cufflinks&#8230; and of course shoes. It&#8217;s time to     <\/span><b>start giving them the prominence<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they deserve and that you may not have considered they could have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem now is, how do I know which shoe fits my suit best? <\/span><b>What type of shoe can I choose?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep reading and the problem will surely disappear. We give you  <\/span><b>all the keys<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so that from now on your shoes are the center of attention, highlighting your suit and adding a personal touch that will not go unnoticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Types of Dress Shoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before getting into the matter of how to choose the shoes that best fit your suit, we will do a brief review of the<\/span> <b>types of shoes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that exist. Because it is always good to know the product before choosing.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s briefly look at the main types of men&#8217;s shoes that we can find, grouping them into four groups. Knowing this, you will be able to identify most of the shoes. These are the most common:   <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Prussian seam shoes. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5993 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/FRT1744-red-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Brown dress shoes\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will start with the Prussian seam shoes. These shoes are characterized by the fact that the tongues (the pieces where the laces go) are sewn under the front of the shoe. This seam makes them narrow and closed shoes, which makes them one of the shoes   <\/span><b>more formal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this type of shoe we find one of the most famous models:<\/span> <b>the Oxford model<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard of it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oxfords are classic and elegant shoes, without frills, widely used for all types of uses. From formal events or ceremonies to daily work use. They are characterized by their smooth design with simple stitching.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another type of Prussian seam shoes, very similar to Oxfords are the<\/span> <b>Legate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. What differentiates both shoes is clear. The latter incorporate dotted lines in their seams as decoration, which gives them a <strong>t<\/strong> <\/span><b>ouch of distinction<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this stitching does not only appear on the seams, but extends to other areas such as the toe, we are looking at the<\/span> <b>Brogue<\/b> model<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The stitching makes it a more informal shoe. It can be used for day to day, or for events that are not very formal. This will give you a more personal and casual character.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>English seam shoes<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5994\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/tienda-zapatos\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre-cordones\/more2351\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5994\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5994 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/more2351-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"English seam shoes\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">More2351<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">English seam shoes differ from Prussian seam shoes in that the former have the tongue sewn over the front of the shoe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of seam makes this type of shoe<\/span> <b>wider and more open<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which makes them more<\/span> <b>informal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this type of seam we also find several models, where the difference is also found in the stitching of the seams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus we have the Derby model, which would be equivalent to the Oxfords, that is, they are smooth and with simple stitching. Two other models are the Cromwell and the Grafton, which are stitched and would be equivalent to the Brogue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Loafers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loafers are a well-known type of shoe that are characterized by the absence of laces. They are  <\/span><b>very comfortable and versatile shoes<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that can be used for any occasion, giving you a more casual style.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5995\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/tienda-zapatos\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre-mocasines\/frap4682\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5995\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5995 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/frap4682-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Black loafers\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frap4682<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Buckle shoes. <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are shoes with a lot of<\/span> <b>personality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Their buckle closure gives them their own character. This type of shoe is usually worn with  <\/span><b>narrow or rolled-up pants<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so that it does not cover the detail of the buckle. In addition, this way you avoid it getting caught on the metal piece. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5996\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/tienda-zapatos\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre-cordones\/jaen1204\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5996\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5996 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/jaen1204-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Buckle shoes\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5996\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">jaen1204<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>How to Choose the Shoes for a Suit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you have an idea of the types of shoes that we can choose to accompany your suit. There are many options, right? Well, now we are going to synthesize everything so that you know what type of shoe goes best depending on the suit you have chosen, taking into account   <\/span><b>the color<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, something fundamental when combining.<\/span> <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shoes for Black Suit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The black suit is the classic suit par excellence. Synonymous with formality and elegance. A safe bet.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the best combination for the black suit is the<\/span> <b>black shoe<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. No experiments. You can opt for an Oxford model, if you want to take the classic to the extreme, or give it a touch of distinction with a buckle shoe. In addition, for occasions that are not very formal, you can also opt for some model of shoe with perforations.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our recommendation if you want to play it safe? The model  <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/tienda-zapatos\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre-cordones\/carlo2630#\/40-color-negro\/44-tallas-39\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CARLO2630<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5997 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/carlo2630-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Shoe for Black Suit\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Shoes for Blue Suit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blue suit allows more versatility than the black one. Of course a  <\/span><b>black shoe<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will always be a success with this color of suit. But the  <\/span><b>brown shoe<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will also be a safe bet. A combination that works wonderfully. The style of the shoe will always depend on the type of events you attend.   <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/tienda-zapatos\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre-cordones\/astor2751#\/35-color-cuero\/44-tallas-39\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASTOR2751<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">model is a very versatile and comfortable model that will look fantastic with your blue suit.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5998\" src=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/astor2751-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Shoes for brown suits\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shoes for Gray Suit<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like the blue suit, gray is a color that offers more play than black. In fact, we could say that it is the most versatile color of the three.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The combination of colors with gray is quite similar to that of blue. The colors with which it combines best are  <\/span><b>brown<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span> <b>black<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you have to be careful with dark grays, since a too light brown can be a mistake.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you see accompanying your gray suit with the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/tienda-zapatos\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre-cordones\/jaen1200#\/40-color-negro\/44-tallas-39\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JAEN1200<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> model?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5999\" src=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/jaen1200-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Brown Shoes for Gray Suit\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><strong>Shoes for Tuxedo<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we have the tuxedo. This garment is more elegant than the suit, so the shoes should be too. You should always opt for a  <\/span> <b>black color<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, although you can play with the shoe model.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case a<\/span> <b>patent leather<\/b> shoe <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a winning option, although you can use a matte model if you prefer. You can also opt for  <\/span><b>loafers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which, in addition to providing the necessary elegance, are more comfortable than a lace-up shoe.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A perfect example to accompany a tuxedo can be the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/tienda-zapatos\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre\/zapatos-hombre-cordones\/prada4938#\/38-color-marino\/44-tallas-39\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PRADA4938<\/span><\/a> model<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6000\" src=\"https:\/\/baerchi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/prada4938-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Black shoes for tuxedo\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\">As you can see, there are many possible combinations when it comes to dressing your feet.
