Cocktail attire - Suit with Boots.
Can I pull off these boots in a navy suit for cocktail attire?
I've dipping my toes in the water around military style boots on the more dressy side. I've been wearing these booties (stock and real photo attached) to work with chinos and a sports jacket and I think it works fine.
My questions is, could I pull them off in a (slightly checked) navy suit for an up coming wedding (stock photo attached)? Alternatively, could go black suit.
I'm a bit light on shoes atm, and wasn't budgeting on new shoes after cats ruined another pair. But if necessary I can try and find something different. Probably worth mentioning I do generally lean into a slightly alternative look, but certainly not too extreme.
Apologies I'm not actually in a position to try it out

Navy or black suit, thoughts?
Cocktail attire
It's subtropical spring
Haha, yup
They're both fine for that, so I'll just wing it
Would pick navy over black for a suit
I wouldnt wear a black suit to a wedding
Groom is in navy, afaik. But likely wear a coloured tie to give me some flair anyway
Navy
Definitely those boots look like they'll work
Only wear the black suit to funerals, though. There are exceptions but ... the every-occasion suit is your navy suit
