When is this okay? ASOS styled these brown shoes with black jeans.

Doesn't look bad. IMO black pants with brown shoes isn't bad at all

It's almost always okay. You'll only get flak from people saying shit about wearing brown shoes with black suits or whatever old ass rule there was about that. Look at Kanye's fits with his brown Chelseas, he wears them pretty well.

brown pants black shoes would look bad but black pants brown shoes looks good. If you wear a belt don't match it to the shoes though, wear black.

It works, but only with lighter shades of brown, or if the soles are on the lighter side. Contrast is key

those rules usually apply to suits - I've seen designers mix navy and black as well as brown and black to great effect but when it comes to suits you want to stick to the rules. otherwise fuck suits don't wear 'em

LOL. old aged fashion rules really shouldn't be followed unless you are like clueless as fuck.

Browns a neutral and so is brown, it's like being told not to wear black and white together.

Breaking them just requires knowledge of shades.

Like secret advanced tip.
Technically green as a color is a neutral.
Bare with me here.
Shades of green. You'll not find a color that doesn't look appealing next to some shade of green unless its a repulsive fuchsia (even then,a mute olive helps calm that color)

Green is in the middle of the spectrum of colors we can see and our eyes can see the most shades of it of all the colors.

Gee I wonder why this works. Maybe because it doesnt destroy the general color sheme like a pair of brown shoes for example would? Wow, thats a tough one.
