Don't Doubt.

People doubt the versatility of a suit most of the time. They think there is only one way to wear it. These shoes go with this color, that tie will only go with that shirt etc.
It's that kind of thinking that will get you nowhere in the world of style. Of course there a certain exceptions, but style is subjective.

Lately there has been an emergence of a particular look that I am a fan of.
A classic suit put with a pair of rugged work boots.
Now, before you go running to your local Mejier for some $20 Timberland knock offs, hear me out.
We're talking good looking boots. Brass eyelets, a beautiful leather that has been distressed over time. You know. Imagine what kind of boot Steve McQueen would wear as he pulls up to a burning building that has a lone baby trapped inside of it. Minutes pass and you see him jump from the top floor window, baby in tote and a lit cigarette. The cigarette was lit by the flames as he slowly passed through.
Those are the kind of boots I'm talking about.

The possibilities are endless with this look. You can easily dress it down with a t-shirt, or go all out. The choice is up to you. But understand you shouldn't rock your opening Olympics tuxedo with some Red Wings. Know your suit. Know your setting. The Queen would probably prefer you wear your oxfords.
