What Colour Shoes to Wear with Light Blue Oxford Shirt

The best shoe colours to wear with a light blue oxford shirt are black and white. Black is a neutral, so it lets light blue be the accent without clashing. Grey, cream, brown and dark brown also work. Be careful with beige: sandals are more casual than an oxford shirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm beige; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
