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.
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.
