How to Match Belt With Shoes (2 Simple Rules)

About this video

McGoff teaches two fundamental rules for coordinating belts, shoes, and watches: matching leather colors and matching metal tones. He demonstrates how to apply these guidelines across various real-world outfit combinations while emphasizing that these are flexible principles meant to be adapted to personal preference rather than rigid rules.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues rule 1 is to match leather colors (brown shoes with brown belt, black shoes with black belt)
• McGoff argues rule 2 is to match metal tones (silver buckles with silver watch cases, gold buckles with gold cases)
• McGoff emphasizes these are loose guidelines, not hard rules—the goal is to coordinate complementary colors that work well together rather than match perfectly
