Choose My Shoes, Please!!!

[Not-Bogart13]

OK, I have a suit outfit I plan to wear soon, and everything is decided except the shoes (and belt to match, of course). The suit is "natural" colored linen (so, a light tan), double breasted, with widely spaced black pin stripes. I usually wear brown & white spectators with this suit, but... well, here's the rest of the out fit;

Bleached (white) panama hat with black ribbon.
Black shirt.
Tie with a geometric pattern with an even balance of black, brown, bronze, and pewter.

Now, I keep thinking that black shoes or black & white spectators would work best, but I feel unsure. What do you guys think?

This is one where a photo would really help the eye to come up with a match.

Here is a photo of taken by a friend last year. Yes, the jacket is sinfully open. It was hot, we were waiting around, sue me. hwell: Point is, this is the suit, with different "accessories." By the time I can photograph the whole thing together, it'll be too late. Sorry about that. I hope this helps.

Suit looks to have a hint of peach rather than tan but that could be down to monitor calibration.
If you have black ribbon and black shirt I'd go for black shoes.
The only other white(ish) you'd wear is your bleached hat so I would not wear white and black shoes, they would stand out too much.

I'll leave the tie with you, it sounds a bit fancy with the striped suit but it is difficult to judge by a description.

The above is only my HO

The peach look might be due to the red dress next to it. It does not look peach in person.

I hadn't thought of that. Hmmm... Thank you for that.

I thought that way at first, but I was surprised to find it worked well with the black shirt. It doesn't work with any other shirt, though!

Binkie - I lack options in my spectator collection, though I like what I see. I have only two pair: black/white and brown/white. Maybe even the same ones in that last photo!

I love the tie and pith, too. I really need a nice green tie. out:
