Black high-heeled shoes are a great option for a formal event. In this case, the shoes are perfect for a long elegant dress or trouser suit.
Black shoes can become an irreplaceable part of the youth informal image. Light blue skinny jeans + white top + black stiletto heels are a great option for a bright, confident girl. Skinny can be replaced with leggings, and instead of a top, put on a shirt or T-shirt.
Black shoes with high or medium heels look great in combination with cropped trousers in bright colors. You can choose a light plain shirt or a light summer blouse for them. It will turn out to be a great kit for every day.
High-heeled shoes are in perfect harmony with leather trousers. So that the image does not look too gloomy, you can add a frivolous flying blouse, an elegant cardigan or jacket in a contrasting color to the set, etc.
Tapered trousers or jeans. The perfect ensemble for black shoes. As a top, you can pick up a snow-white top, a T-shirt, a tunic, a shirt, a beautiful blouse, etc. The set can be complemented by a fitted jacket or a loose cardigan.
Dress + shoes. The perfect combination that looks appropriate in any situation. The combination of a dress and black shoes is more suitable for creating a restrained, austere look. The combination of black shoes and a red dress looks less strict and more elegant. Motley or multi-colored dresses paired with black wedges, heels or platform shoes are a great everyday option.
As for the material from which the shoes are sewn, genuine leather or suede is considered the ideal option for every day. For an evening out or a festive event, you can recommend patent leather shoes. They themselves look very elegant and do not require additional decor.
Choosing tights or stockings that match your shoes is also not difficult. Black shoes are harmoniously combined with any models and shades. Moreover, you can even wear nylon socks under jeans or classic trousers.
Pure black shoes perfectly set off an outfit made using a variety of prints: floral, geometric, fantasy or abstraction. If the shoes are made in a combination of two or more colors, especially contrasting ones, then the outfit should also contain these colors. So the image looks more harmonious.
