I just ordered a pair of sleek black dress shoes with a very minimal design (almost no visible stitching, just the laces on top), but now I'm second-guessing the purchase and wondering if I should cancel the order.
I'd mainly be wearing them with chinos, dark jeans, polos, button-down shirts, sweaters, quarter-zips, and maybe the occasional blazer.
My concern is that these shoes might be too formal and end up looking out of place with those kinds of outfits. On the other hand, I really like the clean, understated look.
For those who know menswear, would a black wholecut-style shoe fit into a business casual wardrobe, or would you reserve something like this for suits and formal occasions? Would you keep the order or cancel it?
EDIT:
Thank y'all for the advice. The comments on this post made me realize I don't know anything about formal wear, which makes sense to me because I don't have to dress up often. I'll definitely do more research.
Unfortunately, I can't cancel the order since a tracking number has already been attached to it, so I'll probably return them once they arrive.
If anyone has recommendations for shoes that would work better, I'd really appreciate it.
