I only wear and aesthetically prefer leather straps for watches.
While I don't try to match the leather color or metal color to anything, I prefer to wear darker straps with darker shoes, and lighter straps with lighter shoes.
About 5 or 10 years ago sourcing quality replacement leather straps became somewhat problematic, many now were garbage. I'd always purchased the once ubiquitous Hirsh brand, and could no longer find it in stores.
But I've found an English retailer that sells on-line, and have purchased from them. For any whom it might interest -
