#EtimesSuaveMen: What shoes to wear with chino pants

Chino pants are a trend that everyone wants to adopt. The beauty of chinos, lies in their versatility - you can pull off a chino on countless occasions -- be it formal or casual. These pants are made from chino fabric, a cotton twill fabric which is lightweight and comfortable to wear. While they are less formal than dress pants, they are definitely more sophisticated than jeans, which make them perfect for casual and semi-formal events. And, when it comes to styling this pair of pants with shoes, the right choice of footwear can make a huge difference. Read on further and learn how you can perfectly match your shoes with chino pants.
- For a casual outing, chino pants are best teamed up with sneakers and boots. While white sneakers can work well with neutral hues, black boots can be paired with dark-hued pants like blue and brown for a well-put-together look.

Don't make these mistakes while wearing chinos:

Slippers and open-sandals: The pants are surely known for their versatility, but wearing them with slippers and open sandals can make them look too casual. If you're in a mood for wearing slippers or sandals, then chino shorts would be your best choice.


Don't mix casual shirts with formal shoes:
One of the most common mistakes men make is that of wearing a casual T-shirt or a polo shirt with formal shoes. Dress shoes can be a major misfit with casual looks like these.


Invest in the right fit:
A perfect pair of chino pants will sit just above the hips and would be mid-rise. Avoid high-waists, as it can be tighter at the hips and also fits which are low rise, as they can give a sloppy look.
