Nice. I want to say stick traditional with closed tongue lace-ups (Oxford, not Derby) because they look more elegant in my opinion... but I recently changed my mind about monk straps (for the better) - don't discount them.
I guess you need to be careful that it's something you can and would be happy to pull off, and that they will polish up shiny. A full grain monk strap might have a toe just square enough, and the shoe could anchor your suit choice. It would be insanely comfortable all day, too.
They're kinda square but not square.

OK so I'm definitely on board with the way to wear trousers! I normally wear ankle swingers when I'm wearing trainers but I know where to wear my trousers and they've been shortened and tapered to the right length so there's no break.
