[@tc5691]

Jeff, you break it down perfectly for me. I appreciate your OG style sense.

Salute!

[@westfieldartworks8188]

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++.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Anthony !

[@jonstern7511]

Yes it's a nice outfit and I noticed the tie knot too - what knot is it?

[@westfieldartworks8188]

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...

[@Myrslokstok]

Anthony Johnson Understated balldness is allways cool.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

I love that tie and that Windsor knot is boss.

[@Samsaraindo]

I been binging on these videos. You got the best style channel on KZbin. I am building my wardrobe slowly and this is helping me massively.

[@TheStyleOG]

glad to hear it Sam!

[@IPassedC1German]

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

[@TheStyleOG]

No problem!

[@oadefisayo]

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

[@TheStyleOG]

Brown shoes all day..

[@gastondeveaux3783]

Great video. This is a common conundrum

[@marcogonzalez4615]

Good stuff, light tan, or cognac brown, would be a good topic to show a look book for.

[@Myrslokstok]

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.

[@davidrankin9874]

Style OG...gives you the 411 with no fluff...straight to the point...I like that

[@TheStyleOG]

[@mostwanted6162]

Thank you very much for saying in detail

[@anthonydaniels5910]

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

[@soulchild216]

Thank you so much Mr Jeff OG. Gold🥇information!

[@TheStyleOG]

you got it K-Love!

[@gastondeveaux3783]

That brown shoe, navy suit combo is awesome !

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks!

[@garthwright6308]

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.

[@TheStyleOG]

you got it Garth!

[@dogbark100]

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.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks my G!

[@stylishoversixty9459]

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!

[@TheStyleOG]

Much appreciated as always Frank!

[@nvworthy]

Another great one. Good video

[@fredericklowe8605]

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

[@TheStyleOG]

[@deeparks282]

Great tips. I don't have any dress shoes but need some. Thanks for the info.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Andrew!

[@derrickjohnson3096]

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 .

[@TheStyleOG]

I like a nice oxblood wingtip or loafer..

[@christopherbennett4559]

I watched this video alot. Really makes it simple. Thanks God bless. 👍

[@TheStyleOG]

glad to hear it!

[@ravipeiris4388]

Thank you,

[@Church2Mosque]

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.

[@TheStyleOG]

for sure!

[@RizwanKler]

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!

[@alfredotamez8169]

Thanks for the knowledge

[@TheStyleOG]

You got it Alfredo!

[@harrilahti-luopa5953]

I love your videos.

[@ACJr7]

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.

[@claytonkeates2614]

Great content! Question, what about a black dress shoe with a brown soul(say stacked leather)? Thanks!!

[@waltermiller215]

Once again The Style O.G. just keeps dropping Dimes on us so that WE LOOK EXCEPTIONAL!!!

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Kyle!

[@JeffFallout]

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!

[@TheStyleOG]

Brown is the move!

[@danielnight7321]

I don't like how he does his suits shoulders, but i like the way he talks.

[@olivermmm2012]

great topic ..very genius. always wanted to talk about black vs brown..10/10

I love brown shoes. I always thought black shoes are safe shoes to wear if I'm undecided. Informative vid as always!

[@TheStyleOG]

appreciate it Ricky..

[@mikebuenaventura2347]

Looking suave with the suit Jeff, peace.

[@TheStyleOG]

Appreciate that Mike!

[@dharmaboy75]

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?

[@q4life551]

the OG knows his fashion

[@beggleg]

Good one! Like presentation easy to understand

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks!

[@3degreesoflightful]

Nice vid OG.

[@TheStyleOG]

appreciate it my friend!

[@domingomireles8361]

Great advice

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Domingo!

[@Oneman1life2live]

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?

[@TheStyleOG]

I get them shined, I’m not that good at it..lol

[@shanecoony]

I've always liked double monkstraps is there many ways to dress oxblood double monkstraps or is that not a good idea?

[@MudskipperPoint]

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

[@dragonball_legends_amv8009]

Do a video of how to style with black Air Force 1

[@AJB_313]

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.

[@TheStyleOG]

Brown and oxblood are money !

[@claytonkeates2614]

Good stuff here!

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks!

[@nitina8564]

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.

[@TheStyleOG]

Appreciate the input Nitin!

[@Ayo_Streetz]

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 don't know how I came across your channel but thank God I did. I know I'm late to the game but I have a question. I'm putting together a outfit for church the shirt is pink the pants are either deep navy or gray the tie matches either, so my question is what color shoe do I use gray, blue, brown, or black? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

[@TheStyleOG]

I would go with brown shoes Cornelius!

[@corneliusjermainehightower7539]

@@TheStyleOG Thanks a bunch I would chosen gray with the gray or blue with the blue, but the brown gave me a better prospective.
