Avoid

Combinations to skip

Skip the brown turtleneck. A turtleneck is more casual than oxford shoes, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: dark brown and brown are close in depth; add a darker or lighter piece to separate them.
Skip the black pleated trousers. Dark brown next to black looks like a near-miss match; go black or clearly lighter.
