This combo always confuses me( not that hard to do I am told). Can you wear brown shoes with a black suit. If so, under what circumstances? Should you keep that combo for casual wear only?

IMHO, you can pull off dark brown shoes and black pants, but this was the subject of a long flame war, I believe.
There are lots of things one can do, the question is more about the successes v.s. attempts ratio.

The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know.
