My Friend Asked Me Which Shoes Look Best With Capri Pants—Without a Doubt, These Two Trends Work Best
Want to wear capri pants this summer? These are the two shoe trends that make them look chicest.
Just this week, I was chatting with a friend about a pair of capri pants she’d recently bought and the styling dilemma that hit when she tried to wear them. So, naturally, I started listing the pairs I know work every single time. Then, almost as if the universe was listening in on our conversation, I spotted Elsa Hosk wearing capri pants with the exact two shoe trends at the top of my list.
In a recent New York photo dump, Hosk styled capri pants twice, each time with a supremely chic shoe pairing. First, she wore sleek black capri leggings with a pair of heeled flip-flops. Where capri pants can sometimes visually cut off the leg line, the subtle lift and minimal shape of the sandal helped counteract that effect. Meanwhile, the ’90s-inspired silhouette added an easy polish that made the whole look feel incredibly current. Leaning into a high-summer mood, she finished the outfit with chunky sunglasses and a cotton bandana—creating one of the chicest city summer looks I’ve seen in a while.
Then, taking the silhouette in a slightly dressier direction, Hosk stepped out in polka-dot capris paired with elegant black mules. Styled with an oversized black jacket and a white Chanel bag, the look felt elevated but not fussy. Much like the heeled flip-flops, the mule’s elongated shape balanced the cropped trousers, complementing the capris without competing with them.
Far chicer than styling capris with ballet flats or trainers, these are the two shoe trends I’ll be relying on all summer long. If you’re on the same page, keep scrolling to shop the best heeled flip-flops and mules below.
