High-heeled pumps

Pumps are shoes without fasteners and straps, standing on a heel or wedge heel with a sharp, rounded or open toe. The predecessors for the creation of today's boats were the men's open-type shoes, which appeared in the 15th century.

In the twentieth century, shoes acquired grace, sophistication and feminine elegance thanks to the presence of a pointed toe and stiletto heels. Roger Vivier made a valuable contribution to the formation of pumps. It is his merit that the presence of stilettos and a pointed toe in these shoes is considered.

For his passionate love for boats, Vivier received the nickname "King of Studs".

The charming Marilyn Monroe has elevated the pumps to the rank of the most attractive and feminine and sexy. At that time, the height of the hairpin had already reached 10 centimeters.

Later, when the Twist dance appeared, the shoes were slightly modified - a rounded cape appeared, and the heel height became lower.

The Chanel fashion house has presented the world with attractive pumps with toecaps in various colors with the shoe itself. This model has become very popular and has won great love among women.

Modern pumps come in a huge variety of shapes and colors, and the materials from which they are made are easily combined with a variety of outfits.

In order to correctly and harmoniously form an ensemble, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules for combining boats with other wardrobe items. Black pumps allow you to create a maximum of stylish combinations. It is best to wear black pumps under classic dresses and business suits in dark shades.

White pumps will be a great addition to delicate flirty outfits. You can create a romantic look using a light pastel dress and chic white or pumps.

Beige shoes surpass even black pumps in the number of combinations. With their help, you can dilute the image, thereby avoiding the effect of "overload" with various details.

Red pumps go well with both jeans and evening ensembles. When putting together an ensemble for an evening out, the main thing is to use the minimum number of accessories.

But despite the versatility of the boats, there are small nuances that must be taken into account so as not to spoil the whole image:

• The fingers should be fully covered. If they look out, even the most competently composed ensemble will be spoiled.
• In no case should you combine pumps and sportswear!
• If there is a pair of worn-out boats in the wardrobe, it is better to refuse them. Not only is it unsafe to wear worn-out shoes, such a combination will completely destroy the effect of elegance.
• It is not recommended to wear pumps with socks, this combination looks ridiculous.

The heel of pumps is either a stiletto heel or a thin one that tapers towards the bottom. The heel height for boats varies from 3 (ballet shoes) to 12 centimeters (cocktail boats).

Tall ladies can afford to wear pumps even with a 12 cm stiletto heel. The fact is that the design and style of the boats is made in such a way that they are not capable of making them heavier. But this does not mean that undersized young ladies should choose for themselves pumps with the highest heels.

The rise of the shoes can also be different. If the pumps are going to be worn in the office all day long, it is better to choose a model with a low rise. Otherwise, the legs will get tired.
