How to choose shoes for a dress?

Every girl at one time or another is faced with the problem of choosing the right shoes for her outfit. Let's try to figure out which shoes are suitable for the dress.

By style, this type of women's clothing can be divided into several non-strict categories - casual, business and festive.

Casual dresses include straight cut dresses, dresses - shirts, kimonos, sundresses, both summer and worn over blouses and turtlenecks, sports models and dresses equipped with a hood and pockets. Such an outfit is appropriate when going to university, spending leisure time with friends and even going to work, provided that the length and color of the dress do not differ from the dress code.

Business dresses are distinguished by a straight and strict silhouette, the most common length is midi, with minimal or no decorative elements. The perfect example of a business dress is the classic sheath dress invented by Coco Chanel back in 1926. The fitted silhouette emphasizes the figure, creating an elegant, but at the same time serious and commanding image.

Party dresses are usually made from expensive fabrics., they are richly decorated with decorative elements such as beads, rhinestones and lace. Models with short sleeves or without it at all are very popular. Deep neckline, open shoulders and back, cutouts in the hem of the skirt - all these elements, which look ambiguous in a casual or business dress, are more than appropriate in a festive dress. They help to emphasize the solemnity of the moment and indicate its uniqueness.

Casual dresses go well with wedges, both bright colors and neutral tones.The wedge heel not only gives additional elegance to the image and visually lengthens the legs, but also provides stability when walking, which is especially important, for example, during long walks with friends or loved ones. Skinny pumps with or without low heels are also a great addition to a dress for every day. Sports models are best combined with flat shoes., ideally - sneakers or sneakers, but if you want to add flirtatiousness to the image, you can choose sneakers on a platform, ballet flats or clogs.

A classic-style business dress requires matching shoes. Elegant pumps of a neutral color on a not too high stiletto heel fit perfectly. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the working day, as a rule, is long and therefore the comfort of the shoes is quite an important criterion. Closed shoes with a low stroke will be a good addition to a business look and will not tire the wearer too much by the end of the working day.

Party dresses open up a huge selection in terms of a variety of shoe decor, insisting on only one main rule - they should be as elegant as possible. Silk and satin shoes with graceful heels, inappropriate under other circumstances, are the best fit for a solemn dress.

The length of the dress plays an important role, the short one is best combined with shoes with high and medium heels. A maxi dress can be combined with a heel of any height, while it should be borne in mind that if the dress is too long and the heel is low, then there is a high risk of stepping on the hem and falling or ruining the outfit. Tall girls can afford to combine long dresses with ballet flats or shoes with very small heels, especially if the dress completely covers the legs. Ankle-length dress will look great with open-toed shoes or sandals, which will add "air" to the look and visually lengthen the leg. Open-toed shoes are also recommended for a long dress with a front or side slit.

The material from which the dress is made plays an important role in the selection of shoes... If the dress is light and thin, then weightless sandals with small heels or wedges are perfect. Pay attention to the texture of the chosen outfit, try to emphasize its appropriate shoes. For a lace dress, you can choose openwork shoes or, for example, shoes made of thin leather with leopard decor. An evening dress will look great with suede or satin shoes. The classic is the combination of denim with brown suede or nubuck shoes. Shoes made of the same material should be matched to a leather dress.

The color of the dress is very important, but in no way does it dictate what color the shoes should be., that is, a red dress does not require red shoes, rather the opposite. A combination of contrasting colors, for example, blue and yellow, purple and yellow, red and green, looks interesting and bold in an outfit. Black, white and beige shoes are versatile and go with just about anything, the same goes for matching dresses - they go with most shades. With the rest of the colors, things are a little more complicated.

Shoes of brick, beige or canary yellow color are suitable for a turquoise dress.

Beige will look great with blue, gray, brown, coffee, purple, cornflower blue or burgundy.

It is good to combine a gray outfit with shoes of emerald green, ruby, blue, raspberry, pink, beige, lilac or azure color.

The purple dress will be complemented by golden, light green, ocher, yellow shoes. Aqua and grassy green are also suitable.

Gray, beige, chocolate, dusty purple and pale green are suitable for lilac.

You can choose golden or khaki shoes for a coral-colored dress. Also, coral goes well with gray, turquoise and aqua.

An emerald outfit will look great with blue, blue, purple, light blue, yellow or burgundy shoes.

If a dense print is applied to the dress, then you should focus on one of the main colors of the picture. When combining colors, pay attention to the sub-tone, if the color of the dress is cold, then the color of the shoes, respectively, should be cool. For outfits of pastel shades, discreet muted colors are better suited.
