Beckett Simonon Shoe Colours Guide: How To Best Match Your Ensemble

As our shoe colour guides are a popular feature on the Bespoke Unit website, we're covering the primary shoe colours in this video.

Firstly, we have Beckett Simonon's Valencia Wholecut in tan leather. This is a more casual colour especially suitable for the summer.

Next up is are the brown Yates brogues. This is darker than the previous tan, and thus a more formal colour. However, the large amount of adornment on the brogues means this is, again, casual pair of shoes overall.

In the middle of the table are the Hoyt double monk straps in black. Black is the most formal shoe colour; therefore, despite the buckles notching down the formality, these are quite formal.

Part of this is personal preference; Paul enjoys wearing his double monks in more formal occasions than they usually appear in.

After the Hoyt, we have the Leonard single monk in bordeaux. Double and single monk straps are more appropriate for different foot sizes.

For example, Paul wears US size 14e, while Charles-Philippe wears US size 9 to 9.5 and, therefore, prefers single monk straps.

In terms of formality, bordeaux is quite versatile, since it's a deep & rich colour. It's not as formal as black, but can go with a suit or jeans equally well.

At the end of the table is the brown Dunham derby with a moccasin toe in pebble grain leather. The adornments and texture alongside the brown color place this in the more casual range. This would be a good shoe to wear with a sport coat suit.

Because both dress shoes and belts are typically leather, their colours should match. When buying shoes, it's a good idea to keep the belts you have in mind, and vice versa.

But if, like Paul and CP, you primarily wear braces rather than belts, this is less of an issue. Braces are more of an underwear item, as they're not visible while wearing your suit, since they're under the jacket.

In this case, the main consideration is trouser coordination, which you can read about in the linked article above.

As an aside, braces are suspenders in American English, but don't use the term "suspenders" for them in the UK. On that side of the pond, "suspenders" refers to the women's clothing item that Americans call "garter belts."

But back to Beckett Simonon shoes: the company has teamed up with Bespoke unit to offer a special coupon code! Therefore, if you're interested in buying a pair, you can use the code BU20 for a 20% off discount.

REMEMBER to comment! We'd love to hear your thoughts on shoe colors, and what color combinations you wear for different occasions. Finally, feel free to suggest new videos and articles we can make.

Yours,

The Bespoke Unit Team
