I’m a woman and this video really helped me. Everything contained in this video applies to women as well as men. Now I am headed to Rome, and dressed very smartly! Thank you so much for your fashion advice!🥰
Jon,..I think it's a Windsor knot. I generally just like the standard knot....but with this coat and shirt...man, the Windsor knot enhances the whole outfit...
I see you got that shoutout from Real men real style. Well deserved my brother. Kill them with the success. Great video and excellent lesson. I wish you were around 10+ years ago.
I am here from RMRS and let me tell you, I am not disappointed ! This is one cool channel OG. Thanks for sharing all these tips. And good wishes with your channel.
COMPLETELY agree with everything you said, Jeff. I would only add that brown has depth and character, can have burnishing, and develops patina over time (which I think are some of the reasons why you would agree it is more interesting.) And black is always... just plain black. Either way, your advice is ALWAYS reliable! And appreciated... and enjoyed.
I was facing this exact issue last week when Allen Edmomds was doing it's factory seconds sale. Brown eventually won out because I already have 3 black dress shoes already. Great video
I got a 6 year old pair of black dress shoes that look brand new because they get no play. But my browns and oxblood are in regular rotation. Always get compliments on both.
I'm going to wear brown dress shoes with a light gray suit to my dad's funeral. Celebrating him, not mourning. Thanks for this video. I'm not sure what color shirt to wear yet though.
I'm seeing a new trend of wearing Tan, Walnut, oxblood or light brown shoes with black slacks, white shirt and a light-colored tie, preferably a tie that matches the shoe.
I always end up putting one of each foot when i have to choose between brown and black shoes and black usually wins... And yet i keep buying more brown shoes lol. Great vid!
Well I own a black dress shoes... But I want to let everyone who does not have a black dress shoes know that even if u don't have one it's perfectly fine coz a brown dress shoes will be a better option n brown is way more versatile in every aspect. So don't worry abt buying a black one if u r on a budget, for others who want to build their collection I'd say go ahead. The video was really good.
I think the sole matters a lot too. Black soles are more formal while brown soles feel more casual. Not sure if I’m right or wrong but I think it’s more fitting to wear black soles regardless of the color of the leather usually
I’m going to an engagement party and the style is Mocha. I want to do a brown jacket white shirt grey pants and brown dress shoes. I feel like off the video I could attempt black dress shoes with brown socks
A black pair was for those days a gentleman found himself in the city dealing with his broker, followed by a quiet afternoon at his Club - the brown pair was worn in the country, on his estate, out shooting with a pair of Holland & Holland guns...
Jeff Style O.G. as always you have nailed it hit it right out of the ballpark sir thanks for the very useful suggestions on brown vs black shoes....oh by the way just to let you know your youtube channel is getting some love from some other youtube fashion consultant colleagues they have highly recommended viewing your channel along with some other gentleman out there in this fantastic community "salute" to you on all the fine work you're doing!
I do think brown dress shoes, especially lighter shades of brown, can look a little more 'handsome' than just a pure black dress shoe. Of course, like he says in the video, black is more serious so sometimes you simply need to wear black dress shoes. I own both but I do think some leather double monk strap shoes with no show socks and some chino pants in a brown, khaki, or similar color rolled up one or two cuffs with a polo shirt can be a GREAT summer time look....but again, it would look more casual and it wouldn't look right with black double monk strap shoes since it's so casual, it really would need brown double monks.
I was a black shoe guy. Now I am a brown guy. But bought a black pair of chukka boats, very nice tick lether and I polished them and they are realy nice in daylight. Black or brown is a hard question. Maybe you should do 4 different shades of brown. Or black or dark brown.
O.G. - could you please do a video on perfumes for men? I'm a Aqua di Gio lover but would like to explore more "fine perfumes". I just know you have just the right tips on perfumes too!! Thanks in advance!
Keep dropping the knowledge O.G. Keep on schooling them. I am starting to like the versatility of the brown shoes more lately, both as a dress up or casual look. I am still trying to find that perfect pair of oxblood shoes it's the only color that I don't have I am not sure which style to get them in .
Its black colour on less formal shoe like loafers is acceptable. I love this color with denim and work very good on me. But i know it's not recommended for more casual shoes
So I’m wearing a black suit, white shirt, solid champagne tie, gold watch& bracelet. Can I pull off the brown dress shoe? It’s for a family 15 party. Looking for something not so boring.
Thanks for the tips! I was going to wear a forest green khakis pants with a white shirt and forest green strip tie. I was deciding weather to wear some black shoes or brown shoes.
*Looking SHARP, brother! That double-breasted suit was made for the FORM of FASHION!!* *Btw...When I sub'd a few days ago you were at 19k subscribers. Now I see 21k. Keep climbing up brother-man!!! SALUTE!!*
Always informative and easy to understand. Much success to you my brother. If you haven't already done so, I'm hoping you will do a segment on beard grooming and maintenance. I can definitely use help in that area
Jeff, In the video you are holding a more formal Oxford brown shoe. For everyday and jeans should I go with Derby style shoe? Does it matter with brown shoes?
Thanks Jeff. I was wondering exactly how much of an issue is skin or complexion undertone? I've seen that there's a whole new topic to consider when buying clothes. Can you cover this to give some help? I bought and wore a camel polo/turtle neck and it looked like I had 3-4 chins haha. I ended up taking it off... should always try items before buying and not take what looks good on someone else as being the choice! Lol... Yes your looking very smart!
Once again great advice OG. This ones kinda needed. If I can be a little honest, I’m still kinda new with incorporating the brown dress shoes into everyday wear. Also, do you shine your own shoes or have them done by someone else?
Nice video Jeff. I have worn brown shoes with a black suit. To me it all depends on the style and shade of brown. I own some brown dress boots and some black dress boots and shoes.
Style OG Ive been trying to match some black oxfords with some gray dress pants with the black tuxedo stripe but can't seem to find any any suggestions? And by the way I love your show nothing but love and respect salute 💯
The most underrated Fashion RUclipsr. I hope this channel cross million mark soon. All the best.

Glad it was helpful!
I'm off topic again,....but the coat and tie...or maybe it's the tie knot, (not sure), but something about today's outfit is an A++.
Thanks Anthony !
Yes it's a nice outfit and I noticed the tie knot too - what knot is it?
Jon,..I think it's a Windsor knot. I generally just like the standard knot....but with this coat and shirt...man, the Windsor knot enhances the whole outfit...
Anthony Johnson
Understated balldness is allways cool.
I love that tie and that Windsor knot is boss.
I see you got that shoutout from Real men real style. Well deserved my brother. Kill them with the success. Great video and excellent lesson. I wish you were around 10+ years ago.
Thanks as always D!
Bruh you look fly as hell in that opening fit. Crushing it

This is hot my man. Keep rolling just like you're rolling. My already solid fashion sense is expanding. Thanks, bro!
Thanks Robert!

Brown shoes all day..
I got a 6 year old pair of black dress shoes that look brand new because they get no play. But my browns and oxblood are in regular rotation. Always get compliments on both.
Brown and oxblood are money !
I'm going to wear brown dress shoes with a light gray suit to my dad's funeral. Celebrating him, not mourning. Thanks for this video. I'm not sure what color shirt to wear yet though.
you got it Garth!
Very good advice, I tend to rock the browns because I have them in various styles, but the black cap toes on funerals and weddings
Agree even tough a brown well cared AE wing tip chestnut shoe, is probably the most stylish shoes I ever seen on a summer wedding.
I don't like how he does his suits shoulders, but i like the way he talks.
This guy needs his own show. Great format.
why thank you Justin!
I’m a brown shoe dude . Great video OG
Thanks Will!
I'm seeing a new trend of wearing Tan, Walnut, oxblood or light brown shoes with black slacks, white shirt and a light-colored tie, preferably a tie that matches the shoe.
Black and brown don't mix. Grey and Brown do tho.
This guy is relentless. Vid after vid non stop everyday. I like his consistency. It is better to spend more money on brown than black shoes it seems.
for sure!
I always end up putting one of each foot when i have to choose between brown and black shoes and black usually wins... And yet i keep buying more brown shoes lol. Great vid!
Brown is the move!
Well I own a black dress shoes... But I want to let everyone who does not have a black dress shoes know that even if u don't have one it's perfectly fine coz a brown dress shoes will be a better option n brown is way more versatile in every aspect.

Appreciate the input Nitin!
Style OG...gives you the 411 with no fluff...straight to the point...I like that
I try David !
Great Shoes
Thanks a lot for the tips O.G! I'd bought a brown pair.. Been using them for exactly what you just tipped us on
No problem!
Yep, I am the same. I only wear the black shoes if I have to. 👍
Thank you for sharing
No problem!
Black is perfect for all Type dress🖤
My opinion 🥰
Last style line made me like the video
Once again The Style O.G. just keeps dropping Dimes on us so that WE LOOK EXCEPTIONAL!!!
I think the sole matters a lot too. Black soles are more formal while brown soles feel more casual. Not sure if I’m right or wrong but I think it’s more fitting to wear black soles regardless of the color of the leather usually
That brown shoe, navy suit combo is awesome !
Thanks!
Good stuff, light tan, or cognac brown, would be a good topic to show a look book for.
I love brown shoes. I always thought black shoes are safe shoes to wear if I'm undecided. Informative vid as always!
appreciate it Ricky..
Brown and black definitely go together.
Jeff another great video brother thanks. I have learned a lot from your channel.
Thanks Jorge!

Love brown shoes !
I’m going to an engagement party and the style is Mocha. I want to do a brown jacket white shirt grey pants and brown dress shoes. I feel like off the video I could attempt black dress shoes with brown socks

I like a nice oxblood wingtip or loafer..
Great tips. I don't have any dress shoes but need some. Thanks for the info.
Thanks Dee

Much appreciated Taj!
I got the make sure that my young and old Alpha Brothers keep it Nice, Tight and Right.......... Ice Cool........ Peace Taj
Neither, go with oxblood or burgundy. There's no garment that those colors can't be paired with.
Agreed, but it has to be the right type of oxblood red, too light and it's just red, too dark and you might as well go for a black shoe
I have brown dress shoes and black dress shoes
Happy New Year sir. 2 thumbs up again to you sir. Salute!
Salute to you Winston !
When can a black and brown color go together in an outfit?
My man. 21k in counting. Congrats
Thanks Sony!
Looking suave with the suit Jeff, peace.
Appreciate that Mike!
Jeff, In the video you are holding a more formal Oxford brown shoe. For everyday and jeans should I go with Derby style shoe? Does it matter with brown shoes?
I love your videos.
Salute from 🇨🇦
Salute Kevin
Great content! Question, what about a black dress shoe with a brown soul(say stacked leather)? Thanks!!
Well explained my friend!thank you!
Thanks Andrew!

Salute Donnie !
Dude you rock that suit!
Do a video of how to style with black Air Force 1
How about Clarks (www.clarks.com)? I think they are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I bet they'll be the best for you also, O.G.!
Once again great advice OG. This ones kinda needed. If I can be a little honest, I’m still kinda new with incorporating the brown dress shoes into everyday wear. Also, do you shine your own shoes or have them done by someone else?
I get them shined, I’m not that good at it..lol
Can I wear dark brown shoes with charcoal grey chinos
Another great one. Good video
Id like to see a video on how to dress modern for men over 50
Great idea!
how about black shoes with jeans ?
Nice video Jeff. I have worn brown shoes with a black suit. To me it all depends on the style and shade of brown. I own some brown dress boots and some black dress boots and shoes.
Style OG Ive been trying to match some black oxfords with some gray dress pants with the black tuxedo stripe but can't seem to find any any suggestions? And by the way I love your show nothing but love and respect salute 💯
Good stuff here!
Thanks!
I've always liked double monkstraps is there many ways to dress oxblood double monkstraps or is that not a good idea?
Meme: Men, what's stopping you from dressing like this?
Me: Nothing. Nothing, at all.
Now I'm obsessed with getting it all...right.
