What shoe and shirt color to match dark brown velvet coat?
What shoe and shirt color should I match with a dark brown velvet sport coat? I’ll be wearing jeans (it’s casual). I have heard that the coat and the shoes must match, but the only brown shoes I have are a lighter color than the coat. I have black shoes as well.
Regarding the shirt, there’s a brown shirt I like but I don’t know if it’s acceptable to use it with a brown coat (they are both dark). Maybe it is better to use a lighter shirt?
Thanks!
I think your brown shoes are decent. I wouldn’t wear brown with black ever.
As for your shirt, I’d avoid the brown shirt because a brown jacket with a brown shirt and brown shoes is lacking in… variety.
I don’t know if you’re a boy or girl… if you’re a girl you can go with something lighter and softer like a light pink shirt.
Boys and girls can wear a dark green olive shirt or a red (any shade) shirt.
If you don’t like or don’t have colorful clothes you can just stick with a basic white shirt.
good luck!

Sweet Emergency Recipe Substitutions for Molasses and Granulated, Powdered or Brown Sugars
It’s a treat baking sweets, but running out of a crucial recipe ingredient can really gum up the works. Knowing an ingredient ’s “equivalent” or substitution can save the day. Many cake and cookie recipes can be adapted by using modern sweeteners if you don’t have ingredients called for in vintage cookbooks or grandma’s desert recipe. Today, Mom helps cooks in the kitchen with recipe tips on granulated, brown and powdered sugars, honey and molasses.
Granulated Sugar – Most sugar is made from sugar cane or sugar beets. The plants are juiced, the liquid is boiled several times to separate out the molasses and the remaining clear liquid is crystallized into the familiar white granules on our tables. If you don’t have 1 cup granulated sugar use 1 cup packed brown sugar OR instead of 1 cup granulated sugar use 2 cups powdered sugar.
You can also substitute sweet syrups for granulated sugars, but you’ll need to remove some of the liquid in your recipe to maintain the correct moisture level. If you are baking it helps to add a leavening agent like baking soda. If you don’t have the soda and you are not baking, then you can probably leave it out and still be ok. But this may effect texture and cooking times, so keep a closer eye on your creation.
If you don’t have 1 cup granulated sugar use 1 cup honey + 1/4 tsp soda and reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup. Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar. Or, instead of 1 cup granulated sugar use 1 1/2 cups molasses plus 1/4 tsp baking soda and reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup. 1 pound (package) granulated sugar = about 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar.
Powdered Sugar - Superfine or powdered sugar is granulated sugar that has been spun into a powder. Used for a slightly smoother texture especially in frostings and fluffy meringues. When measuring you’ll need slightly more powdered to make up for its fine grain. If you don’t have 2 cups powdered sugar use 1 cup granulated. 1 pound (package) of powdered sugar = about 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, unsifted (not packed).
Confectioner’s Sugar - Confectioners sugar has been processed past the powdered sugar phase, into an even finer powder. Today the terms are used interchangeably, so check your packaging.
Brown Sugar - Brown sugar or sugar in the raw, has slightly more brown syrup, or molasses than white granulated sugar and is slightly less sweet. As a result, brown sugar has a smokier flavor and darker color. Golden brown sugar has less molasses than dark brown sugar. The two can be used interchangeably, but note the darker sugar will have a richer flavor and color and is generally better if you’re cooking pork.
If you don’t have brown sugar use granulated sugar instead using the exact same measurements. You can also make brown sugar by combining 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup molasses, but this may throw off the liquid in your recipe, so be careful using this substitution when baking cakes.
Brown sugar will remain soft if it is kept in an airtight container. To soften brown sugar place it in an ovenproof container and warm at 250 degrees until soft, or microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time until soft. Use it immediately as it will be harder than before when it cools! A 1 pound package of brown sugar equals about 2 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar.
Molasses – Molasses has a dark, sweet, smoky taste. It is created during the sugar refining process. Molasses is slightly less sweet than granulated sugar. Until sugar prices fell in the 1930’s molasses was the primary sweetener in American kitchens. Sulphur dioxide is sometimes used to make molasses sweet. The term ‘unsulphured molasses’ just means sulphur was not used in the creation of your molasses and it should be the lightest and sweetest type. Measuring molasses is easier (and more accurate) if you grease the measuring cup first with a little cooking spray or butter. One 12 fluid ounce jar of molasses equals 1 1/2 cups. One cup equals 8 fluid ounces.
If you are making a vintage recipe I heartily recommend you spring for a jar of molasses. Molasses is the secret ingredient in many cookies, cakes, ham glazes and BBQ sauces. Granulated sugars will not taste the same. If you have a jar left over, you can use molasses in baked beans, ham, oatmeal, ice cream or added to syrup and butter on pancakes. One tablespoon of molasses provides 8% of your daily recommended iron and 4% of your calcium!
One cup of molasses equals1 cup honey. Bear in mind honey is sweeter than molasses and will change the flavor slightly. OR instead of 1 cup of molasses try 3/4 cup granulated sugar (brown is preferable) plus 1/4 cup water. The extra water (or other liquid) is called for to make up for the moisture in molasses. It is important to replace it if you’re baking cakes or breads. Blackstrap molasses is the thickest, darkest and least sweet type of molasses and isn’t recommended for baking.
Sugar Baking Tip: Baking relies on a bit more science than your average frosting recipe. Not only do the ingredients add flavor, they may also serve a specific function like making your cake rise, or binding ingredients together. For best results when baking, measure all your ingredients accurately; like leveling off your measuring cup with the edge of a knife and setting the cup on the counter when measuring liquids. When you resort to a substitution just be aware that your texture or flavor may be slightly different and cooking times may vary. Good luck and happy cooking!

Who in government is undermining Ed Miliband — and why?
With a few exceptions, the dark briefings by ministers against other ministers within Labour went away with the departure from Number Ten of Tony Blair, who gave a speech backing his old rival Gordon Brown today.
