Brown shoes - dark grey / black suit??

[austenw90]

As there are a lot of guys on this forum I thought this question may be easily answered...

I have a friends wedding in a few days for which I am wearing an appointed suit. I was told it was grey, therefore I bought some dark brown leather shoes to compliment it nicely. I never saw the suit until today when I discovered it is actually basically black IMO, maybe a very very dark grey.

Anyway, is it acceptable in 2014 to wear a dark suit with dark brown shoes? I know this may not be traditional but does it look ok?

Please bear in mind I am nearing my mid 20's so can possibly get away with a young trend kind of thing.

Thanks all.

be better off with a pair of 10 quid asda black shoes at least for the photos then i reckon,

there are some pic's of brown shoes with black suits on google but no one looks like they are at or going to a wedding

Nope, I wouldn't wear brown shoes with a dark suit.
