How to Select Shoes to Wear With Capri Pants

The capri pant can be sporty, flirty or elegant, depending on the shoe accompanying it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Sneakers
• Women's Boots
• Women's Closed-toed Shoes
• Women's Dancing Shoes
• Women's Dress Shoes
• Women's Sandals

1. Choose a canvas sneaker for a casual look. This makes a great vacation ensemble or weekend day look.

2. Be flirty with a midheeled, strappy sandal or wedge slip on. This look works well for pool parties and summer barbecues.

3. Opt for a heeled mule or ballet slipper for a more elegant look. Consider this for a summer night on the town or evening party.

4. Go bare. Socks and hose rarely look good with capris.

5. Have some fun with color. Try a bold primary or soft pastel to give your outfit some pizzazz.

6. Remember capris are lightweight and casual. Loafers are too heavy a shoe, while pumps are inappropriate.

Tips & Warnings

• Check your toenail polish before heading out in sandals. Touch up chipped polish, and ensure the color of your polish works well with your outfit.

on 1/19/2006 If you live in Arizona, like me, then you can pretty much wear your capris all year. However, sandals and toe less shoes are not quite warm enough. Clogs look great with some capris. Try a Berk clog with the more loose casual fitting capris, and a Teva type clog with the more slender legged or jean capris.

on 11/22/2005 I wear capris all the time, and I've found that the best shoes to wear are flip-flops. Of course I also live in my flip-flops, but it creates such an easy-going summer look, and is so comfortable.

on 11/22/2005 Don't ever wear crew socks and tennis shoes with capris. Only wear sportier and less athletic shoes with capris.
