Basic Tips ~ Men's Shoes & Pants
Match the Right Shoes with the Right Pants
Written by: Carol Elizabeth Ridolphi, AICI FLC
~ Shoes should be darker than your pants or match them.
~ Socks do not always need to match your shoes. Think of your socks as you would a tie, an item that can pull the outfit together.
~ Belt should match your shoes.
~ When wearing jeans, wear almost any color or style of shoe but avoid very shiny shoes, which are obviously intended for dressy clothing.
~ Boots, sneakers, loafers and sandals all work great with jeans, but consider your shirt style
when choosing the shoe. For example, a sporty, polo shirt might work with a loafer; t-shirts go well with sneakers or retro-style shoes; long, artsy button-down shirts work well with sandals or contemporary styles.
~ Dockers, chinos, khakis, loafers, oxford and other men's shoes work well with casual pants.
~ Shoes with a shiny finish indicate that the shoe is a dressier shoe, as do less bulky heels and soles. When wearing dress pants, choose a shoe you would wear with a suit and make sure they are the same color or darker than your pants.
~ Black shoes work well with navy, grey or black pants.
~ Brown shoes work well with tan, brown, beige, green, darker earth tones.
~ Burgundy shoes work well with khaki, lighter browns, blue and grey.
~ Tan shoes look great with lighter earth tones, blue, beige, lighter tan or white.
