Shoes to Wear with Capris

During warm weather, capris offer a cool, yet conservative option for women. Capris can be worn as casual business attire or for a casual outing. An easy way to dress-up or dress-down capris is to accent them with the right style of shoe. Since the cropped pants bring the eye down to the exposed portions of your legs, shoes also become a focal point. Whether you are off to the office or headed out to do the grocery shopping, selecting the right shoes to go with capris will set the tone of the outfit.

Selecting Shoes to go with Business Casual Capris

When wearing capris in a business or work environment, opt for a dress shoe. If the workplace allows open-toe options, a strappy sandal with a short heel works well for warm weather. A closed-toe low heel will also look professional. If the weather is a bit cooler, opt for a gaucho-style capri with tall boots that sit even with the hem of the pants.

Choose a shoe with some modest decoration that coordinates with your top, jewelry or hair accessories. For example, if your top has large silver buttons, select a shoe with silver accents, such as buckles.

Selecting Shoes to go with Casual Capris

If your plans include going out to dinner, meeting up with friends or attending a social gathering, choose a shoe that could be a conversation piece. Choose a bold-colored flat sandal to accent your purse or a patterned sneaker that plays off the image on a printed T-shirt. Be creative and choose a shoe to tie the whole outfit together with color, style or repeated elements.

Selecting Shoes to go with Sporty Capris

When going shopping or running errands, a sporty capri is comfortable in warm weather. For maximum comfort, pair the capris with a low-cut sneaker or tennis shoe, but avoid chunky running shoes. A sling-back, slip-on or laced sneaker are also good options.
