The contrast between the pumps and the rolled up chinos works beautifully, creating a modern and feminine look. The more neutral the pants, the more the shoes can be worked on:dare red sandals with beige pants or leopard pumps with black chinos! Attention, all the same, to the contrasts of form. Avoid pairing beige chinos, evoking a casual style, with black leather stilettos that are too pointed or studded. For this kind of shoes, prefer black chinos with darts. If you dread the error of style, be content with classic heeled shoes, with rounded toes and preferably tone on tone with the pants. An other idea ? Wedges, ideal with chinos!
Since chinos are worn rolled up, the choice of ankle boots is not always easy... and yet! Perfect in winter or mid-season, ankle boots make chinos last well into winter. Avoid biker boots, which go less well with the shape of chinos. Opt for slightly pointed low boots for an elegant silhouette, and wear them with patterned socks under rolled pants in winter. Reserve ankle boots, which are lower, in mid-season on a bare ankle. Laced boots, on the other hand, love chinos for a sporty and youthful look, with visible socks. As for furry boots, also prefer them with laces!
The marriage is unmissable, sneakers and chinos go perfectly together. Are you going to explore the city or walk in the countryside? Bet on colorful sneakers with rolled up chinos. For a more feminine look, choose low-top plastic round-toe tennis shoes, plain or printed, to wear with colored chinos... and if you swear only by the essential low-top leather tennis shoes, don't hesitate any longer, chino pants goes wonderfully with this kind of shoes. Canvas sneakers, on the other hand, have been worn with chinos for years by athletes of all kinds. The only downside for tennis shoes is high-top sneakers, which can weigh down the silhouette if the pants are not rolled up enough:to avoid an excessively bulky effect, the ankle must always be visible.
Sneakers, very little for you, heels no more? To be sure in chinos, flat shoes are legion! The simplest? Ballerinas, capable of feminizing the straight cut of chinos and playing on colors. This, without ever losing comfort or practicality. If you like androgynous silhouettes, faithful to the origins of chinos, consider derbies or loafers. Elegant and trendy, these shoes are ideal for mid-season. In summer, wear flat sandals or even flip-flops on the beach!
