Brush away loose dirt, then wipe smooth leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Let the shoes air-dry away from direct heat before applying a leather conditioner and black polish according to the care instructions. Use products intended for the material, since suede and patent leather require distinct care.
For a classic dress look, choose socks that coordinate with your trousers: charcoal socks with charcoal pants or navy socks with navy pants. Fine-knit dress socks keep the outfit polished, while subtle patterns can add personality. With a tuxedo, black dress socks are the traditional choice.
