What are your thoughts on a navy suit + black belt/shoes? People mention “black and blue don’t do” but I just think that saying has no merit aside from it rhyming. I personally think it’s a classic style and a nice break from the typical brown touch

Black and blue can definitely be mixed. The only situations i can think of where it wouldn’t work is mixing black trousers and a navy jacket (or vice versa) and maybe navy shoes with black shoes. I also find brown calf skin leather shoes a bit boring but i prefer burgundy/oxblood. Black works with almost everything but it can be a bit formal and stuffy depending on what else you do

Agree with SA1. Don’t see an issue at all

No brown in town, is another old expression. In essence: black shoes only for business attire (blue suits very much included).
Obviously quite a dated perspective (although still somewhat upheld in the London finance district), but an historical green flag to wear black shoes with blue suits.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?

Kind of seeking validation here but also happy to take feedback. Is 22 too young for luxury goods? I’m obsessed with handbags. Like literally. I own 2 LV, 1 Chanel, 1 YSL, 1 Gucci, and just bought another Gucci. Idk what’s wrong with me🧐but I’ve been feeling super antsy and dissatisfied with life that I seek thirst in binge shopping, or even spending hours looking at handbags. Fyi I’m really not spoiled, most of the bags are hard earned and I consider myself to be ambitious
