Smokers tip: Brown makes your teeth look less yellow.
The only rule worth remembering is never wear blue shoes with a brown suit.
(Original by Oxner, Apparel Arts, spring, 1934. The shoes were originally brown, the tie burgundy.)
It's an odd phenomenon: a pleasing color combination that went out of style. It wasn't overused by any means (try finding a blue/brown vintage tie. bet you can't.) It just sort of went away.Lets see a shot of that
I have a brown pair of 40s slacks with red fleck which is more on the fall color wheel.
Blue and brown does seem odd though

About the brown suit/blue shoes illustration: it's a joke. The old saying - 1950s to '90s anyway - was never wear brown shoes with a blue suit. Nobody had blue shoes.
I occasionally will pair black flannel with chocolate brown suede shoes.I try to never wear black with brown though
