Hi.
When a friend shows me two pictures of a sample shoe and asks for my advice which they should buy, I'd like to say something like this.
This one looks to fit most of your casual clothes. For another one, it might be harder to coordinate them well.
If it sounds awkward, please tell me a natural way of saying it. Thank you.

I'd use "go with" instead of "fit," because "fit" has the connotation of being the right size. "This pair looks like they will go with most of your casual outfits. "

"This pair looks like they will go with most of your casual outfits. Don't you think the second pair will be harder to coordinate with the rest of your wardrobe?"

Very good to know. Thank you!
Let me ask just one more thing. In my earier post, I wrote "two pictures of a sample shoe." Does it make sense? I mean,
One picture that has a shoe and the other picture that has another shoe.
I wonder if it means "two pictures of a shoe" in this case.

"Two pictures of a shoe" is ambiguous. It could mean two pictures of the same shoe or two pictures of two different shoes.
"Pictures of two shoes" is a little better, but shoes come in pairs.
"Sample shoe" is problematical, as well. Sample has the connotation of selected at random. What you have is a representative selection from a catalog.
How about "pictures two styles o
