A navy suit is a highly versatile and flexible option. It’s no surprise, then, that it is one of the most frequently chosen styles by men. This type of suit offers a great opportunity to adjust the level of formality through accessories. It works well for both formal business meetings and regular days at the office. In fact, it can even be a way to re-wear your wedding suit. But what should you pair it with?
Navy suit – what shoes?
If we’re talking about occasions with the highest level of formality, classic oxfords and wholecuts are top-tier choices. Black oxfords are a traditional option that’s easy to complement with other accessories. Wholecut shoes, on the other hand, are for those who want to express a bit more individuality while still maintaining a formal tone. It’s worth noting that wholecuts are crafted from a single piece of leather, unlike most evening shoes, which are made from multiple stitched pieces. Their slightly sharper toe visually elongates the shoe, enhancing the appearance of a slim and elegant silhouette.
When choosing shoes to wear with a navy suit for more casual occasions, we recommend monk shoes. They serve as a bridge between high formality and a relaxed style. If the level of formality isn’t a concern, you can lean toward Chelsea boots, or even loafers. This will create a look that’s both comfortable and charismatic, helping you develop your individual style.

What kind of tie?
When it comes to ties, you have plenty of options. For formal occasions, we recommend formal ties in two versions: made from jacquard silk or printed silk. The latter offers a slightly more delicate aesthetic, but is also less durable. Highly regarded micro-patterns are also an excellent choice in the fashion world — they add a stylish twist to a classic navy suit. Interested in a semi-formal tie? A great option might be grenadine — a type of silk woven in a unique way that gives the fabric a textured, slightly rough surface.
