I apologize for bringing this topic back up, but I remember reading about your stance on black and brown together and about how black should be reserved for formal situations and brown is more casual (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm guessing you are against black chinos? If not, what color of shoes would be appropriate with them? Thanks, your advice is much appreciated!
I can’t see any practical use for black chinos unless you’re working at a restaurant. The formal color of black is diametrically opposed to the casual nature of the chino.
You’d have to wear it with some sort of black shoe, I’d suppose. Maybe a blucher-styled wingtip? Or black suede chukka boots? You could maybe go with black sneakers, too, I guess.
Still, I have no idea what you’d wear up top. I guess my point is that if you’re going to insist upon black pants, then you might as wear black dress trousers and some shiny black dress shoes.

as neutral as black is, black pants carry a certain gravitas (even black jeans seem a bit more serious at times) that kind of pigeonholes you into wearing something more pulled together and polished and less casual.
