What colors to wear with brown pants
Despite what you might think, brown—especially chocolate brown—is one of the easiest colors to mix with almost any other shade. Your pants will ground any look, so you have more freedom to play up top; try these options to push your style to new heights.
- If you prefer bold colors: Tomato red, light pink, seafoam green, chartreuse, deep purple
- If you prefer neutral colors: Tan, ivory, navy, medium gray, olive green
What shoes to wear with brown pants
Finding the right shoes for your look comes down to two main factors: the pants silhouette and the destination. Formal footwear like kitten heels and mules will get you through office days and nice dinners; casual picks like sneakers and thong sandals are ideal for weekend plans and vacations. Neutral pairs like loafers and ballet flats, meanwhile, work just about everywhere.
- For wide-leg pants: Classic pumps, sporty sneakers, ruched loafers
- For bootcut and flared pants: Square-toe boots, leather flats, cap-toe shoes
- For straight-leg pants: Slim sneakers, penny loafers, lace-up flats
- For skinny and cigarette pants: Riding boots, ballet flats, heeled mules
