Recommendation Suit for work Christmas party
Hello, I got invited to someone's work Christmas party & need to buy a suit. This will be my first suit, should I go with a Navy color? Also, does anyone have recommendations for specific sites/brands?

I have these shoes, could they be worn with a suit? https://sonofastag.com/products/paraboot-avignon-griff-shoe-lis-noir?variant=47791871000880
Thanks in advance
They certainly could be worn with a suit but they would traditionally be considered too casual.
For your first suit you could do either navy or charcoal gray. Personally my first suit was navy and I added charcoal grey and black later because I just like navy more than grey but people certainly do it the other way. Grey is probably more traditional.
I think if you bought something like an Ivy-style sack suit—with soft shoulders and patch pockets—you could pull it off with the paraboots.
But that’s less practical for other situations that are more formal than a Christmas party.
Thanks for the response! I was recommended to wear a sports coat by a friend who went last year. Would something like this look paid pattern look appropriate? It would be nice cause I could wear it outside of this 1-time event.

I'm not sure what's appropriate for this specific event but yeah I think a tweed sport coat would totally work with the paraboots.
For example you could probably pair the sport coat you linked with cream trousers and the paraboots, like in their styling:
You could also prob pair it with blue jeans and I think that would suit the vibe of the paraboots really well
However not with the purple like in this photo lol.
maybe just like a sports coat over a white button down and blue jeans is how I would do it. But I usually opt for a minimal amount of pieces.
Thanks for the styling advice!
Could I dress it up with a pair of trousers/slacks for this event? If so what color would you recommend?
I would wear cream or navy trousers.
