<p>Quick question- I need to get some pants altered (before the career fair!), but I'm not sure of any places around campus. Anyone have any ideas of a decent place?</p>

<p>On a side note- can you wear black shoes with a navy blue suit?</p>

<p>I think so. Black goes with everything.</p>

<p>DH (self proclaimed fashion expert) says that Americans wear black shoes with navy suits but British wear brown shoes.</p>

<p>Here's something I found- apparently Donna Karan says black shoes with navy is ok-

<p>Good luck finding a tailor. Some dry cleaners do alterations or may know of a local tailor to recommend. Ask Advance Cleaners- 1389 W 29th St.</p>

Occasionally, there is the lighter, brighter, royal navy fabric that actually looks good with true navy shoes. Otherwise, navy colors are very difficult to match. It’s not worth the time-consuming effort. And I agree with you, most navy shoes are sorely lacking in style. Listen up, shoe manufacturers! </p>

<p>In theory, you will look best if your shoes are as dark or darker than your hem length color. That’s one reason black shoes work well with navy. **A charcoal black, a very dark gray, and a deep burgundy color can also work beautifully. **Brown/bronze tones also go with navy, particularly if your other accessories are brown, such as a belt and a handbag/briefcase. The fashion brave will often wear bright red shoes with navy. It can look trite and red shoes are risky for the workplace. When opting for any color other than black shoes with navy, be sure to pull that color into your outfit via accessories.

<p>I think the place I pm'ed you about is Rolo Tailors at 823 S. Los Angeles St., but getting there would require a car. I googled "Tailor -- Los Angeles St." and came up with a directory of tailors, some of which were closer.</p>

<p>Hi Nikara, report back if you find anything--my daughter may need some alterations as well.</p>
