Deep brown shoes can sit beside navy and black without becoming a bright contrast. In these two outfits, a dark cognac loafer supplies a warm note close to the ground while a black sole keeps the bottom edge dark. The first combination uses a navy blazer and black jeans; the second uses a navy dress and black cardigan. Both contain navy, black and brown, but their garment shapes are quite different.

Both can work with the same collared, self-belted dress. The choice becomes clearer when you look at shoe volume, color and the space between hem and shoe, rather than assuming that one category is always comfortable or the other is always dressy.
A brown bag does not need brown shoes in every outfit. It can be the warm note beside white and indigo, sit between two deeper garment colors, or give a cream-and-black combination a less severe middle point. The useful question is whether you like the same bag's size and carrying position in those different outfits, rather than whether three separate matching accessories could complete them.
A jacket earns a place in a small wardrobe when it completes outfits you already want to wear. An army-green utility jacket and a navy blazer can both go over a white tee and jeans, yet they give that base different edges, colors and levels of visible detail. Trying each again with a shirt and wide trousers makes the choice more useful than asking which jacket looks better by itself.
The same beige wide-leg trousers can look quite different with a short knit, an untucked tee or a front-tucked shirt. Each places the top's lower edge somewhere else: near the waistband, across the upper hip, or partly inside the trousers. That is the useful comparison here, rather than three claims that one proportion suits everyone.
A cream cable-knit sweater has enough texture to make a simple jeans outfit feel considered. The useful choice is what happens below it: dark indigo keeps the combination close to an everyday denim wardrobe, while cropped black jeans create a sharper light-to-dark break. Deep brown loafers work with both, adding a dark warm note without introducing a bright accessory.
