  7. burgundyloafers
    Works
    Black is a neutral, so it lets burgundy be the accent without clashing.
  8. beigesandals
    Works
    Sandals are more casual than a trench coat, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: two neutrals with clear contrast: black and beige always sit well together.
  9. dark brownloafers, chelsea boots
    Works
    Black and dark brown are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
  10. navysneakers
    Works
    Works when the difference in depth is visible; in low light the two can blur together.
