How to Select the Right Shoes for your Clothing

Hello and welcome again to the fashion tips  today, we will be having a short look at choosing shoes to compliment your cloth or rather dress.
Now in brief, The first step in selecting the best shoes is choosing shoes that complement your clothing, rather than ones that compete with your outfit.

For that reason, I always recommend pairing a great deal  shoes with simple outfits, and wearing simple shoes with clothing that features a lot of prints, embellishments or dynamic accessories. It can be tricky to find shoes that complement your clothing, without dominating or being overpowered by it, but the reality is, it's a simple balancing act.
  • When you look in the mirror, does one element of your outfit stand out more than the others?

  • Do your shoes and clothing blend together too much? What I mean to say is that Do your black pants, black turtleneck, and black booties all look like one long body suit?

  • If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then the quickest way to pull together a cohesive look is to simply try on another pair of shoes.
It doesn't matter how pretty they are, how comfortable they feel, or how discounted they were when you bought them -- if they don't fit the event, the environment and the occasion, then they are -- at least temporarily -- the wrong shoes.

Here are a few tips on which shoe colors go best with certain clothing colors.
  • Black shoes: nearly anything except pastels and some earth tones -- but even then, if black is repeated elsewhere in the outfit, black shoes can be a dynamic choice.
  • Brown shoes: shades of tan, brown, beige, orange, greens, and darker earth tones.
  • Tan/Light Brown shoes: lighter earth tones, blue, beige, lighter tan or white.
  • Cream/Taupe shoes: whites, light neutrals, and pastels.
  • White shoes: light neutrals, brights, and pastels.
  • Silver shoes: pastels, as well as with white, black, blues and purples.
  • Gray shoes: blacks, blues, grays, reds, as well as some purples and yellows.
  • Gold shoes: greens, reds, browns, and they usually look good with black and white as well.
