LOL, you first!

Of course my wife says I have no fashion sense

Oxblood/Cordovan is, of course, de rigueur, as a color choice for a gentleman's boots for daytime wear with suits/sport jackets/blazers. Tan, Brown or gray should be reserved for casual ensembles, with black being your choice for evening or formal wear.
I am particularly enamored of the Oxblood shade used by Nightingale, http://shop.nightingaleleather.com/Grif ... ffon-V.htm , works well with suits and blazers in most conservative colors and construction.
A caution, as the "sweltering months" loom large before us, "Suits" in cotton/linen, twills, seersucker especially those with unstructured forms, are to be avoided (think Boss Hogg or Miami Vice). Consulting with one's tailor will reveal a plethora of tropical weight fabrics in a wide variety of colors and weaves that will allow you to dress well no matter the weather!
"Tennis Shoes" should be found only on the court, in the lounge or your locker at the club.

While Cisco was a fashion plate, I'm pretty sure Pancho was much more relaxed in his wardrobe choices. Sidekicks, pretty much across the board, provided comic relief in dialogue, manner and dress. Tonto being an exception.

As an aside, I'm looking for OC suggestions for my 5 yard kilts. Traditional belts are very wide and I've not found a leather craftsman interested in fashioning a holster to accommodate a 3" belt.
