I would love to have this sort of summer suit but what shoes would go with it?

I'd lean in favour of black and white spectators, myself - even with the black jacket, I suspect fully black shoes would be a little too much against the white trousers. An Oxford style rather than a punched brogue style would be particularly sharp.

GoldenEraFan,
I suspect the link has changed since 2008, and now a grey suit is displaying.
It wasn't that way originally, I assure you.

Thanks for letting me know! I was confused as to why everyone was saying spectator shoes were the best choice. It didn't look like a summer suit either.

I was fortunate enough to get those Bally Linen/leather spectators in black earlier this summer. I love them, they are a very nice pair of shoes and look excellent with my cream linen suit. Also I just purchased a pair of Polo white flannel trousers. I am planning on those trousers with the shoes and a navy blazer with a black and white rep tie and linen pocket square.
