Sigh. Remedial shoes.
Do not wear slip-ons with a suit ever. Slip-on shoes may go with a sportcoat, but never a suit.
If you are wearing a more casual suit, and want casual shoes to go with it, wear derbys (bluchers, whatever - the ones where the lace plackets aren't stitched down at the base of the tongue that usually get called "oxfords" but aren't). Brogues/wingtips in the country, but not in the city, whether they are derbys or oxfords.
If the suit is actually linen, and you wear no tie, I might be OK with mocs of some sort if they are worn with the definite intent to dress improperly and thereby adopt the rakish air of a third-world plantation owner. But if you show up at any sort of formal wedding without a tie someone should probably slap you.
