What Colour Shoes to Wear with Beige Chinos

The best shoe colours to wear with beige chinos are brown, black and white. Beige and brown are both earth tones with enough difference in depth. Dark brown, navy, grey and cream also work. Be careful with beige: sandals are more casual than chinos, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: tonal beige works when the pieces differ in texture or shade.
