What shoes should my son wear with a suit?

For a formal suit, he should wear classic dress shoes. The two main styles are lace-up dress shoes (like Oxfords or Derbys) or slip-on loafers. Both are appropriate. The key is to choose a pair in a polished finish.

What colour shoes go with which suit?

Here is a simple guide to matching:

• Black Suit: Only black shoes.
• Charcoal Grey Suit: Black shoes are the best choice.
• Navy Blue Suit: Black or dark brown shoes both work perfectly.
• Light Grey or Tan Suit: Brown shoes are the ideal match.

How do I ensure a comfortable fit?

For children, comfort is just as important as style. Look for shoes with a supportive, flexible sole and a soft interior lining. When trying them on, ensure there is a small amount of space (about 1-2 cm) between his longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for movement and growth.

Suspenders or a Belt: Which is better for a boy?

For formal occasions, suspenders (or braces) are often the superior choice, both for style and function. They add a classic, sophisticated touch to a suit and are more practical for a child, as they hold the trousers up perfectly without the need for a tight belt. They are especially smart when paired with a waistcoat.

How do I coordinate accessories?

A good rule is to match your "leathers" and "metals." If he is wearing a belt and dress shoes, the leather colour should match (e.g., brown shoes with a brown belt). If he is wearing suspenders, you have more flexibility. A pocket square can add a dash of colour—it should complement the tie or bow tie, but it doesn't need to be an exact match.
