What Colour Shoes to Wear with Burgundy T-Shirt

The best shoe colours to wear with a burgundy t-shirt are white, tan and black. White is a neutral, so it lets burgundy be the accent without clashing. Cream, grey, beige and brown also work. Be careful with burgundy: loafers are dressier than a t-shirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: tonal burgundy works when the pieces differ in texture or shade.
