Gray shoes
Models
If you think black and white are the most versatile shoe colors, then know that this is the deepest misconception. The current state of affairs is such that shoes of these two bright colors are worn rather in exceptional cases, and the most safe color in shoes is gray and its 50 shades.
Let's say you choose pumps - classic heels with a tapered toe. Whether it's full black pumps or with an open heel and a cut-out toe (slingbacks), or pumps with an open toe (from the English "pump peep-toe"), or even pumps that are fashionable this season with shallow wave-like cutouts on the sides (dorsei) - any of these models, made in black or white, is more likely to suit a classic, office or evening look, while for light gray suede pumps there are practically no style restrictions. And comfortable gray ballet flats with a rounded toe without a heel are indispensable in a summer women's wardrobe.
Gray will ennoble any of the shoe models listed below, make it more appropriate, and fit into any image and style.
Louboutins today in Russia are usually called platform shoes and high heels. The litas that are current this year are similar to louboutins, since they are also made on a small platform, but the heels of the litas are much wider and more stable. These shoes are more comfortable, but Louboutins will add a sexy twist to your look.
Pip toy closed-toe shoes with a neat cutout on the toe are the most popular model of shoe designer Christian Louboutin. Stilettos on the thinnest heel with an extremely pointed nose also look very sexy.
Favorite model of Miuccia Prada - children's shoes for adult girls "Mary Jane" with a low heel with a webbing closure.This model can visually shorten the legs, so these gray shoes should be worn in combination with matching tights or trousers.
Model "Uncle Strap" from Mary Jane is distinguished by the presence of a thin ankle strap.
"T-strap" is a graceful model of women's shoes with a T-strap.
Kitten Hill open toe heels will make your look interesting and elegant. But, since this model also has the peculiarity of visually shortening the leg, stylists highly discourage wearing these shoes in combination with skinny pants and tight-fitting skirts.
Convenient modifications of wedge shoes should be noted separately, which are an excellent alternative to high-heeled shoes.
Imperceptibly, several male models of shoes with stable flat heels migrated to the women's wardrobe. Oxfords with closed lacing and their antipode derby with open lacing are perfect for the office. For a relaxed business look, we recommend paying attention to brogues. More versatile options include gray loafers with a stable heel sole or moccasins with a stitched toe and flexible sole. For a relaxing holiday, boatmen are suitable, which have come into everyday fashion from yachting uniforms.
Classic stylish monks with a buckle toe box are perfect for college students looking to impress.
Sandals - open summer shoes with or without heels with various weaves of straps made of leather and other materials.
Recently, in spite of the classic sandals, many newfangled interpretations of summer shoes have appeared. Espadrilles - sandals with rope soles - came into fashion a few seasons ago. Espadrilles are available with a solid sole or wedge. Printed espadrilles look very stylish.
A comfortable alternative between sandals and shoes are mules - shoes with a closed toe without a heel. Mules can be heeled and solid soles. A kind of mule - clogs on a wooden platform with rivets.
The Birkenstock Orthopedic Open Sandals have won the hearts of fashionistas for their comfort, stylish looks and versatility. These light gray sandals can be used to create a very delicate and romantic look.
Shades
In fact, there are many more than 50 shades of gray. Let's list some of them that will highlight the advantages of different types of women's shoes.
If you could choose only one pair of shoes, then the ideal would be blue-gray or, as it is also called, "stone color". Pumps of this color are ideal for any classic suit, for a silk cocktail dress, and will also go well with jeans.
Smoky color is softer, suitable for suede shoes, goes well with summer wardrobe.
Models love the “mouse” color, but if you have light hair and skin, stylists do not recommend using this shade even in shoes.
Silver shoes will go well with a sporty style.
With what to wear and combine
Gray is versatile and matches all colors. This color, like no other, presents familiar colors in a completely different way. A gray stabilizer, shades and ennobles, symbolizes a state of peace and harmony, and is also able to emphasize the elegance of its owner.
In combination with cold blue and purple flowers, a strict, laconic image is obtained. Gray shoes will "balance" bright red clothes and perfectly complement yellow and green clothes. And the combination of lavender and gray is the hit of the season.
Dark gray genuine leather pumps are indispensable for a business style. Patent leather is very chic.
Gray suede ballet flats are suitable for the "casual" style in the city, and for the respectable "smart casual" style, the mouse-colored suede topsiders will be the ideal solution. Wet asphalt birkenstocks are a great alternative to black in summer.
Spectacular images
Thanks to its versatility and ambiguity, gray helps to create a variety of spectacular looks.
A pair of gray suede high-heeled pumps is a great option to pair with skinny jeans. This perfect union can be complemented endlessly and in a variety of ways. For a short business trip, you can add a gray thin jumper with a neck in combination with a cotton shirt with a gray longitudinal strip. The result is a soft but effective neat look. In this case, the bag does not have to be in the same tone as the shoes. Black color in accessories will be optimal and add a little elegance to the image. If desired, if it is hot on the way, the sweater can be removed. Jeans, a shirt and gray pumps create a light, fresh look, which is very important if you are on a long journey.
With gray lacquered boats, there are countless variations on the theme of a bright image. In this case, it is suggested to wear it with black trousers with an elastic band made of leather. Immediately, a bright, uncommon charismatic image is set, which can be complemented by a loose snow-white top and a lightweight unlined coat. During the day, in such a comfortable outfit, you can go to a business meeting, and in the evening you can add picturesque accessories and go to a fun party.
