Evening shoes
Correctly selected shoes will put an end to any feminine look, especially if it is a festive option. Even the most breathtaking dress will not have the desired effect without matching evening shoes.
Peculiarities
Casual and evening options for women's shoes are very different from each other. And the difference here lies in the style, because evening boats can be as well as sandals and ballet flats.
The key difference between evening shoes is the material from which they are made and the extravagant decor.
Although the history of human footwear dates back to primitive times, such a thing as evening shoes stood out in a separate category only in the 80s of the last century. It was then that glamorous models for a festive occasion appeared, decorated with catchy straps, appliqué and rhinestones. The 90s became a time of experimentation for evening shoes: the imagination of designers even created clogs with elements of sneakers. Today, thousands of professional fashion designers are working on creating exclusive evening shoes that will make a woman even more sophisticated and elegant.
Models
Evening shoes are presented today in a wide variety of models, so choose shoes based on the style of your dress and, of course, your own preferences.
Probably the safest and most versatile option is graceful stiletto heels: let it be ordinary boats, shoes with a thin strap covering the ankle or instep, products with an open heel or toe.
The always feminine stiletto heel blends harmoniously with any evening outfit. Its height varies from very large to medium.
Evening shoes on the platform also look seductive. - they can turn even a modest young lady into a fatal beauty.These shoes are especially harmoniously combined with a floor-length dress of a tight-fitting or straight cut, although a good combination is obtained with a sheath dress up to the knees.
The platform itself can be hidden - the border between the upper and lower parts of the shoes is not clearly visible. But more interesting are the options with a platform contrasting in color.
Shoes with an open toe always look elegant, and in a duet with a hairpin, they become even an instrument of seduction.
An open toe looks very stylish, another advantage of this model is that it visually slims the leg.
Open-heel evening shoes create a playful and seductive look. But it should be noted that it will not suit young ladies with plump calves and ankles, since it will visually shorten the leg.
For an evening out, it is quite possible to have appropriate sandals. Their shape can be very different: high hairpin, wedge heel, platform. Models look elegant, practically exposing a woman's foot - they are kept only on thin straps. There are, of course, more closed options. Evening sandals will perfectly complement both a long and a short festive dress. from a light flowing fabric, while for a "heavy" outfit made of brocade or velvet, they will be inappropriate.
It should be noted that evening sandals require an ideal pedicure from a woman: moreover, the bright color of the varnish will look more impressive.
Models without a heel - ballet flats and sandals - may well become an evening shoe option. They are distinguished by their striking decor and a wide range of materials. Such things are usually combined with Empire-style toilets, as well as a fluffy knee-length skirt. For a charming dress in the Greek style, there is simply no better shoe than sandals.
Choosing shoes for going out, a fashionista should turn her attention to “tango” boats. They usually have a high heel, often equipped with ribbons that are tied at the ankle, or a strap. This model is ideal for a dance party.
Fashion trends
As for the latest fashion trends, then stylish evening shoes today are made of black leather or satin - expensive materials, amazingly sparkling during the dance.
Models that open the heel are also in trend. - the foot, half naked, looks seductive, but not too frank, since it remains covered in front.
Material
Shoes are most often made of leather, including lacquer.
However, in this category you can often find original suede models, as well as products made of satin, velor and delicate lace. As for the impractical fabric options, then, of course, you cannot wear them for a walk, but for a secular celebration they are very appropriate, given their incomparable appearance.
Colour
Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all shoe color that would go perfectly with any evening dress. However, there are some shades that look good with a variety of festive outfits.
First of all, it is beige. It is especially in harmony with clothes of many shades. Evening shoes in silver and gold. The first goes well with dresses of cold tones, and gold-colored shoes are more suitable for a warm palette, as well as for a black and colorful evening dress.
The most versatile are black shoes, combined with any evening ensemble, with the exception of pastel shades. But if such dresses have black fragments or accessories of this color are matched to them, then black shoes will be quite appropriate.
In addition to the specified color palette, evening shoes are produced in almost all colors of the rainbow. Moreover, there are widespread models with the most varied and intricate prints. But it is necessary to select them for a specific festive toilet.
Decor
Decor is one of the key components of evening shoes, which radically distinguishes them from everyday models.Decorating details can be present on different parts of the shoe: on the heel, cape, back or side. Modern options are originally decorated with metal fittings, as well as pearls, sparkles and artificial flowers. Shoes with lace or satin bows look exquisite. The imagination of designers also decorates evening shoes with fur and feathers.
Brands
Many famous shoe designers present evening models in their collections. For example, luxury Italian Giuseppe Zanotti brand... The design for the Hollywood stars offers this season evening shoes in traditional colors - black and beige, blue and red, noble metallic shades have not been forgotten either.
As for the decor of the products, the trend is openwork lace, feathers and metal fittings.

Where to wear festive and dressy shoes
When choosing evening shoes for a festive outfit, be sure to focus on the format of the upcoming event. If you are going to a gala dinner or a theatrical premiere, where you have to spend a lot of time sitting, then it is quite possible to wear spectacular high-heeled shoes, even if they are not very comfortable.
However, there are events where you have to spend a lot of time on your feet (for example, a prom or a dance party). In this case, you can sacrifice glamor in favor of comfort - choose smart shoes with low heels with a comfortable last (pumps or sandals).
During the dance, too narrow shoes can injure the foot, and high heels are completely dangerous.
In winter, closed models will be appropriate, you can even buy evening ankle boots or boots. One should not forget about the norms of etiquette. So, at an official reception, classic boats will look appropriate, while at a friendly party, more informal models are permissible (for example, on a wedge heel).
How to choose?
When choosing shoes for an evening dress, the principle of contrast is key. If your outfit is made of shiny fabric or has a similar decor, it is advisable to wear matte shoes, for example, from noble suede.
On the other hand, catchy shoes with sparkling rhinestones are perfect for a laconic evening dress.
The length of the party dress also plays a role. If this is a mini or classic model up to the knee, then give preference to original, attention-grabbing models. For a long, fluffy outfit, get a simpler evening dress. If you cannot live without a heel, then choose the alternative wedge heel.
Fashionistas should remember that shoes give a presentable look not only to women's legs, but to the whole figure as a whole. And here the shape of the last is important, not just the height of the heel.
Women's sexuality to a certain extent lies in the bending of the last. When the foot is tilted from a flat position, the calf muscles tighten - and the legs become more prominent and visually longer, and the ankles become chiseled.
If a woman puts on high-heeled shoes, her buttocks are tightened, her posture is straightened, her breasts become higher, and most importantly, her gait is miraculously transformed.
As for the colors of the shoes, try not to make mistakes, which will negate the whole effect of the elegant dress. For example, it is perfectly acceptable to wear beige evening shoes with a snow-white dress.But if you, on the contrary, combine white shoes with a milky outfit, then the image will be hopelessly ruined.
In addition, the shape of the heel also matters. A flying chiffon dress will look harmonious with a stiletto heel, and a toilet made of dense materials with shoes with a stable heel.
If you want to visually become slimmer and taller, choose evening shoes with high heels. And keep in mind that shoes that match the dress also visually lengthen the silhouette.
Beautiful images
