At Lodger, we recently released a new brogue in a light tan suede called Milkshake.  It’s a great shoe for the early autumn; just before the weather gets too angry and whilst thoughts of summer still linger.  The shoe works beautifully with dark corduroy, compliments a tweed jacket and blends with most casual combinations.  The only challenge is what to do for a belt.

For those that feel the need to match their shoes and belts perfectly, this will mean a hunt for a belt in a similar biscuit suede.  A challenge for sure.  However, I’ve taken to wearing mine with a simple woven belt I picked up in the states at J. Crew.  The advantage of going with a belt in a completely different material is that it doesn’t have to match perfectly.  For a woven belt trimmed in leather it also gives you a chance to play with a couple complimentary colours.  Albam does a great belt in a woven canvas that would be a great foil.
