I've been seeing more and more businessmen wear brown
wing tips with black or blue suits; myself included. |

I think the closer to burgundy the better though. If they are BROWN brown, then it can look a little tacky IMHO.

Lose the black dress pants, unless you are a waiter. Lose the black suit unless you are a priest.
Black trousers only belong with your formal wear (tuxedo). Black shoes go with the tux. Acquire some odd dress trousers in charcoal gray and medium gray. Wear them with white or light blue dress shirts, and brown, burgundy, or black shoes. The charcoal and medium-to-light gray trouser is the ultimate in versatility, and pairs with the navy blazer, a brown tweed jacket, a tan jacket, a sweater, no jacket... |

And yes, match your belt and shoe leather color.

Good point....most things are shades of grey these days (no pun intended). |

No.
You should not be wearing black pants unless for a formal event requiring a tux or for a funeral. Now, brown shoes with a navy or grey suit is perfectly acceptable. |

You could pull it off, if the shirt isn't black also. Normally black shoes, sox and trousers. Brown can also be worn with grey or navy.

Whats so wrong with a black suit for something other than formal or funeral? I think a black suit is sharp looking.

Do you even Steve McQueen, bro?
  They may be charcoal pant, not sure. But it's close! (I personally wouldn't do brown wingtips with black pants. Closest I get is Oxblood with Dark Grey. With Black I wear Black.) |

That said I hardly ever wear my black suit. I like charcoal, navy, and gray over black for almost everything business related and for most social occasions that I wear suits. To answer OP's question, I personally don't like the look of brown and black together but different strokes. Depends on what or where you are wearing it to. |

I think when people see businessmen and politicians on television and see them wearing sharp looking dark suits, they assume they're black. They're usually dark navy or dark charcoal and its the lighting of the cameras that make them look black. To me personally, black suits have always looked slightly off. |

When you absolutely, positively have to kill everyone in sight - black suit, black shirt and tie, black shoes. At least that is John Wick's favorite ensemble for taking care of business.

Does a snake have knee caps?
Shoes must match the pants and the belt. |

Totally unacceptable.
Shoes and belt should be black or burgandy with any dark colored pants ( black, navy, grey, etc.) Brown shoes and belts should only be worn with lighter color pants such as khaki, white, etc. The only exception is blue jeans, which can be worn with brown shoes, preferably work boots. |
