Fashion is a creative, innovative and quite flexible matter, but this does not mean that no rules should be applied! As a matter of fact, when talking about shoes, fashion can be quite decisive and strict. But don’t worry, here are some important tips on what you need to do in order to be wearing fashionable shoes at all times!
What to Throw Away as Fast and Far as Possible
Those black and white sport shoes made of thick linen are so 2002, Time to get rid! Besides, these kind of shoes turn into used shoes so rapidly, that you can’t actually get a neat appearance if wearing them for the 10th time. Moreover, used-looking shoes (used leather, used discolored textile) should also definitely be on their way to the garbage. Classy is in, chic is in, so anything that looks used or old is out!
Besides the used-looking shoes, there are other types of shoes which should be eliminated from the closet as soon as possible. The extremely pointy shoes (the ones that could be classed as a dangerous weapon). These should have been thrown away a few seasons ago! Oh, and if they also have 15 cm super-skinny heels, then they are definite no-no girls!
What to Keep from Last Years’ Fashion
Fashion may be constrained when talking about shoes, but that does not mean everything that was in fashion four months ago is out of fashion now. Buying shoes is like making an investment, choose the right ones and it will be long term, however, get it wrong and it’s a disaster. So, here is the good news, drum-roll, flat shoes are so in. No longer do women need to torture their feet with heels. (at least not this season anyway!)
Now stay with me on this one, take a look in your mom’s closet. Or, if you are quite young, in your grandma’s closet. Why? The 50′s, 60′s and 70′s shoes are back! (Don’t they make a comeback every year!?) And you can not go wrong if you are wearing the originals. Thick V-shaped heels, colorful shoes, retro-dancing shoes, latex shoes, shoes with decorative bows, they are all in.
What to Buy Immediately
We’ve already mentioned that the old-school trends regarding the shape of the shoes are back. Now to move onto the prints and patterns of shoes, there are some major trends that need to be followed. So, whats hot? Animal print! (in shades of brown, black and white – yes, including cow print) not forgetting bubbles and dots. Dots are making a fashion statement this year and they’re appearing in mostly red, white and black combinations.
When talking about colors, you should take into account that your shoes do not have to be the same colour as your dress and handbag! The new rule is much more flexible and sustains that shoes should be in an opposite color than the one of the outfit (like red shoes with golden dress or silver shoes with a black outfit). If you do feel like matching the shoes, match them with your nail polish, lipstick, earrings or bracelets. This season is full of possibilities!
