Shoes are very important and are one of the fashion things that have the most direct impact on the way we feel. Shoes that hurt are not going to work well for the way you feel and behave yourself.
The number one golden rule of shoes is that hey need to be comfortable. The second rule is that they need to be appropriate for the occasion. There’s no point in going hiking in the woods wearing Oxford shoes, or going to the opera in sneakers.
Choosing the right shoes does not only mean picking them up form the store, but also from your wardrobe.
Make sure that the shoes you own are kept in the right conditions. For example, keeping them in a too moist environment will make them go bad, which not something you want. Why would you? Your shoes also need to be clean and polished, and when they are unwearable, thrown out. A hole in your shoes (we have seen that too) doesn’t work and you will probably not create a trend.
Your first look at shoes can be a little weird, since you don’t know much, but it has to happen at one point. Lower you will find a reference to an article detailing the different types of dress shoes. But, as a few general rules regarding colors, length and other things, here is what you need to look for:
- Your shoes should be a little darker than your pants!
- Your shoes should go with your socks (we are going to discuss another time how to choose socks).
- Shoes should not only match your pants, but your belt also, if you wear one.
- If you wear jeans, you can go with almost ay kind of shoe, they just not too shiny!
- Black shoes go of course with blue, gray, navy or, obviously black pants.
- Brown shoes go with brown or beige pants
- If you wear more colorful shoes, like burgundy ones you can match them with blue, browns, lighter browns etc.
If you have new shoes, don’t forget to try on your shoes for a few hours around the house after you have bought them, to make sure they are not constraining or too loose.
