Types of Shoes to Wear with Capri Pants

    Sandals

    • Any type of sandal works well when wearing a capri pant. Try a wedge, high heel or flat sandal to complete an outfit. Aim to keep the style between footwear and capri consistent. For example, if your capris are constructed of casual material, such as denim or khaki, wear a casual sandal. Conversely, if your capris are made of dress-pant material, upgrade to a fancier shoe, such as a leather wedge or high-heeled, dressy sandal.

    High Heels

    • Closed-toe high heels worn with capris dress up any outfit. Wear capris made of dressy material, such as linen, satin or a viscose blend. Experiment with color by mixing a black capri with red heels, for example. This is your chance to wear those extravagant high heels that hardly ever emerge from your closet. The shortness of capris allows your shoes to take center stage. However, simple, solid-colored high heels also wear well with capris.

    Flats

    • Flat-soled shoes combined with capris can create either a casual or dressy outfit, depending upon the shoe. Dressy, black leather flats are suitable for work or other occasions that require business-casual attire. Casual flats, made of sneaker material, for example, worn with capris serve as a comfortable outfit to wear on a day that involves a lot of walking. Remember to keep the styles consistent by combining dressy capris with fancy shoes and vice versa.

    Considerations

    • Steer towards delicate shoes, avoiding bulky options, such as running shoes or hiking boots when wearing capris. Whatever shoe you choose, the short length of capris ensures that they will be highly visible. Bulky shoes with short pants will make your feet appear larger than they are. For all shoes, make sure that they're polished and in good condition. Also make sure that your feet are clean if you're wearing sandals. Consider polishing your toenails for added pizzazz.
