Against the recent trends, and unless you think you are Kanye, DON’T try to pull off sneakers with your suit at the office, Christmas party, or generally anywhere. If you ARE Kanye, ummm, Imma Let You Wear Those Sneakers With That Suit, But Uhhhhhhhh, Black Dress Shoes Might Be Better.

I am, however, a big fan of Chuck Taylors – or some clean Jordans, with jeans and a sport coat (prefer those with leather patches on the sleeves)…the suit not so much.
