Others have referenced it prior but I think the red CCP items (be it belts or boots or gloves) come across the most "natural" (if it can be called as such) yet still retain a distinctive look when paired with gray or white garments. The photo of Khiev in the cathedral from years back wearing a white CCP suit with the red boots and a crisp white shirt still stick in my mind.
As for the sneakers, I would also pass : that's OK height-wise, but in terms of shades and textures (from what I can see), there's something clearly wrong. I'd say the colour of the pants is too light to be worn with that kind of shiny, drippy black.
I knew that you would say that, but IRL/Wifewise, it works again, even though I agree with you, contrast is a bit harsh (but not uninteresting). I have a third option, that I'll post maybe today : grey/green oxfords (only hesitating : with or without socks ?). It should be better.
By the way, things would be easier if I wore a knit, but it would cover the waist and hide the double asymmetrical flies that I want to be kept visible.

well just to chime in i too think the black suit + red boot looks cool and i think the reason the first fit didn't work is the tucked in button front shirt. those pants require a belt, and the belt throws this particular outfit off. so, i think your waist should be hidden completely. an untucked shirt of the knit/tee type variety. or untuck the shirt maybe? and i actually think the sneaker fit looks worse than the original red boot fit. its a casual/formal thing. tucked in dress shirt + sneaker is awkward to me. just sayin.
hmm. i could be completely wrong here tho.
but still. big props for giving it a go. i love the style lab type posts
dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective
I got a Donald J Pliner Boots
that I have like five or six years now, hardly worn because I had left it in Jamaica, but since I am here Im gonna be taking it back to New york with me......
actually might bust it out in Jamaica with some linen and throw up a fit pic

There is no wrong or right though , it's all just a matter of taste. When it comes to style I don't really like it when people use words like "should" and "shouldn't", there are no facts only opinions.
true. what i mean by that tho is that its such a conventional outfit that has been so oddly tweeked by ccp that i really don't know what to do with it.

Here you go.
Yesterdays' shirt (with the rain pattern) would match better the wocell fabric.
Found a belt that should work for the WallStreetguys, even though I found a belt that should work even better - but not in my closet.
(btw what is an IT guy ?)
