Having trouble figuring out what shoes to wear with this combo. The chinos are a lighter blue than navy.

My gut tells me your shoes should be as light in color as possible.
Fwiw, white bucks should look great.

Brown or tan. Or you could try a pair of navy driving mocs.

What about some light brown suede whatevers (brogues, loafers, two-eyelet derbys (my fav), wholecuts)?

I wear blue chinos all the time and I wear them with:

1) tan suede bucks

2) oxblood penny loafers

3) this off white and brown boat shoe / penny loafer lovechild by Sperry.

2, 3, and dark brown would be my recommendations.

E's chestnut or brandy hues would work very nicely! Perhaps a pair of chestnut Coltons?

FWIW tan driving loafers popped into my head when i thought about this.

if you want to be extra-euro, you could try _red_ shoes.
