I'd go with blue but that's because I have blonde hair and blue eyes. 
Gray will be just fine. Wear black shoes (not brown) though. Good luck!  Uhhhhh..... Brown shoes work more than fine with a blue suit. This thread is filled with people who overanalyze things and parrot something they read somewhere. These threads always are. Are you referring to my post or Joan Rivers that I quoted?  Not yours, but several others. |

I have a grey, black, and blue suit. I have a job interview soon and was thinking about wearing the grey one... Would the blue or black suit be better? They're all the same style. I do not know what you call the style but I guess I would call it modern looking.[/quote ]Please don't interview with a blue suit unless it's a very dark blue. Grey or black is the best option to present yourself as a professional. Blue suits...not so much. Good luck! |

Serious question(s) ... When wearing black shoes (let's say wingtips) and a black belt with either a grey or blue (navy) suit, what color socks are considered most appropriate ? Then, to take it a step further, how about black dress shoes and belt with khaki colored pants ... then what color socks are considered most appropriate ? |

Scenario 1 : Black socks Scenario 2 : Blue socks I don't know why... Just makes sense to me, haha. |

You want to match your socks to your pants, period. If the socks don't look right with the shoes, your pants won't either. |

That's the rule of thumb I've always followed as well, however, I remember seeing somewhere that black dress shoes somehow create an exception to the rule ... e.g. black shoes + grey suit = black socks, or black shoes + khaki pants (still) = black socks. OTOH, whenever I wear cordovan or burgundy colored penny loafers with khaki pants then I'll match the socks to the pants, blue socks with blue pants, etc. But I'm fairly certain that black shoes are somehow an exception to some rule ... |

Either match your socks to your pants or your shoes.
Do not select a color of sock that is different then both. Edit: There is an exception as long as your pants and shoes match. Example: Black pants + black shoes with socks that match your tie/shirt color. |

Maybe it goes back to my childhood... I only had blue dress socks.  Maybe it just stuck with me.

Brown loafers, blue socks and khaki pants would be just as bad ... maybe even worse.

Damn. Now my feelers are hurt. I'm also color blind. My favorite color is purple but it looks blue to me. I have like 10 purple shirts. I thought they were blue when I bought them.

I've seen that, and frankly the Army would seem to agree, as my dress uniform socks are black. Personally, I think socks that match shoes to often create an odd "boot" look where the shoe blends in too much with the sock - whereas pants and socks matching looks more put together. I usually only wear black shoe with darker pants anyway, so the problem is minimized. Not sure what so many here have against brown shoes. I prefer them most of the time. |
