How to Match Your Belt to Your Shoes (The Complete Guide)

The Classic Rule
Match your belt colour to your shoes exactly — or as closely as possible. Black shoes = black belt. Brown shoes = brown belt.
The Modern Approach
Coordinate rather than match exactly. Tan shoes can pair with a cognac belt. Navy shoes can pair with a dark brown belt.
