Should You Wear Sneakers with Khakis? If So, What Color Sneakers Works Best?

Yes, you can definitely pair your sneakers with khaki pants. And if you have a large collection of khaki pants in your closet, then you’ll need to find just the right shoe to wear with all of them. 

The Khaki blazer can also be paired with jeans and basic pair of sneakers for a timeless, casual look. And if your Khaki blazer can be styled with a pair of white sneakers, then there is no reason why you can’t wear the same pair of sneakers with your khaki pants too. 

The key is to keep it as basic and simple as possible. Khaki pants already make a statement about your style, so you don’t need to overcomplicate things.

Since khaki green is a more subtle color, there’s no need to go all out with dark-toned sneakers. And while khaki can go well with a pair of black sneakers, there is nothing more classy and casual than a pair of white sneakers to enhance their look and feel. 

I’m telling you; don’t underestimate the power of a great white sneaker, especially when wearing khaki pants.

Your Perfect Ensemble Ideas

Khaki pants are considered a more casual type of pants. They were originally designed for outdoor applications such as hunting, safari, and even combat. That’s because the khaki green color blends in well with the natural environment,  thus making the wearer more obscure. 

However, since then, khakis have become a staple fashion item that can be dressed up or down depending on your preferences. Khaki pants also come in different shades and silhouettes, so there’s plenty to play around with when it comes to styling them.

However, because of the comfortable fabric that they’re made out of, most people prefer to wear khakis as part of a casual ensemble. This gives off a more relaxed look that pretty much anyone can pull off.  

To complement the fabric of simple khaki pants, you can add a pair of high-tops or low-tops as well as a white shirt and black jacket to create a timeless look. Remember, khakis are not only to be worn at work or in the wild, but for casual outings too. I can’t tell you the number of celebrities I’ve seen rocking this casual look over the years, and it’s all because every stylist understands the timeless nature of khaki pants and that you can never go wrong with wearing them. 

To add a little more casual to your look, you can wear your khaki pants with sneakers of your choice and a vest or Henley shirt. 

Can you wear white running sneakers with khaki pants?

In my opinion, there’s no better combination than wearing a pair of running sneakers with your khaki pants. Yet, this look may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it works. But, if you feel that a white pair of running sneakers do not work well with your khaki pants, try to step it up a notch and pair them with something classier like a white formal shirt that’s tucked in. 

Also, there are several ways to elevate khaki pants while showing off your personality. White sneakers with different color laces, for example, or trendy canvas shoes for that laid-back resort-style look.

At this point, I think we can both agree that white sneakers and khaki pants are a great style combination. That’s why this trend is starting to catch on again although I don’t think that it has ever truly gone away. 

You too can rock this look, but would advise that you start small and simple. There’s no need to go for baggy khaki pants right off the bat. You can do khaki chinos or a more simple silhouette like that. Of course, baggy khakis are the most casual style by far and would look awesome with a pair of white sneakers, Henley shirt, and Police shades. 

Once you start learning how to rock the more casual khaki pants with casual white sneakers, you can then move on to fitted khaki pants and explore all the looks that you can create with them. 

In essence, let no one tell you otherwise… it is absolutely possible and even desirable to wear your khaki pants with a pair of white sneakers. Remember, anything works as long as you feel good in what you are wearing. So go out there and rock your khaki pants, your way!
