Footwear to go with our jackets

Peacoat said:

So why are we discussing mostly boots and shoes in the Outerwear section? I have watched this thread since its inception wondering if it would stick with jackets—it hasn't

There is a Forum where this is more appropriately discussed—As in General Attire.

Is there a reason why I shouldn't move this thread to the appropriate section?

Very cool!

Tho, what I'm beginning to notice about (perfect) matching is that it turns out so neat that the pieces kind of cancel each other. Everything sort of becomes one thing. or rather, a thing. Like, the fact that the color and material is so perfectly matched overrides the uniqueness of the two items so they don't really get the attention they deserve. Dunno, just how I see it.

I think you make a good point here. I used to perfectly match my leathers. I wouldn't wear a pair of shoes or boots if I didn't have a perfectly matching belt. I even matched my duffle bags, watch strap, bill fold and what have you. A couple of years ago I realized my outfits were too much polished. Too much perfection. Everything so perfect it simply became boring. Some examples View attachment 271530 View attachment 271531

Now I like to mix and match a bit more. Of course I'd never wear black shoes with a brown jacket but seal brown boots with a russet brown jacket can make a great, playful outfit. I think the Italians actually have a word for it: 'sprezzatura'.

I was going out with a few friends the other day and I wore my cordo CXL CR and cordo CXL Vibergs and everyone commented how the leather color is perfectly matched. And it annoyed me to an extent, though I'm not sure why.
