The World Of Women's Shoes
Woman's fascination with footwear is something many men will never understand
. Stylish ladies know that shoes are a way of making fashion fun and individual, and that a pair high heels can do wonders for their confidence, not to mention their ability to slim down legs.
No ballet flats or gladiator sandals will ever make their butt look big, nor will they ever be too fat for their favorite pair of pumps. However, whether it's five or fifty pairs of shoes sitting in her closet it pays a stylish woman to follow some footwear fashion tips to create the best look.
High-heels call for a more demure hemline (at least an inch above the knee or lower), whilst a short skirt or dress looks more stylish and classy with a lower heel. Thin stiletto heels are best teamed with light fabrics or slim-line outfits; paired with heavy textures they can make a woman's silhouette look out of proportion.
Platformed styles make prefect pairings for wide hem skirts and skinny jeans. Very high heels are not particularly flattering for very short women.
Try a medium-height, thin heel to balance out the body shape instead. They are also much easier to walk in!
These are a summer staple as they balance out a voluminous outfit such as a full summer skirt or a maxi dress. Bulky heels and platforms also add the right proportions to wide-leg trousers (thin heels look out of kilter), thick sweater dresses and knits and billowy summer dresses and skirts.
Chunky heels actually have the effect of slimming calves, particularly wedges. What do you know?
Wooden clogs get a '70s revisited makeover for Spring Summer 2010 and are one of the key footwear trends. These should be worn with summer's shortest of shorts and simple shirt dresses.
Ballet flats are the perfect partner for cropped trousers, Capri pants, miniskirts and tunic dresses. Buckle-fronted, patent and quilted ballet pumps give a very uptown feel.
Tall women can carry off ballet flats with almost anything (except maxi dresses), but for women who do not have the skyscraper legs of runway models, ballet flats are best partnered with short hem lengths to avoid a frumpy look.
Casual loafers suit boyfriend and straight-legged jeans, chinos and slim-legged trousers but for a modern take on the trend team them with a simple straight skirt or shirt dress. Be wary though that loafers tend to shorten the leg and can give the appearance of thicker ankles.
If you want ultra comfort coupled with style, try a pair of moccasins. They have a vintage look that compliments jeans and a casual shirt, particular if you wear plaid on top-your feet will thank you!
Gladiator sandals make a perfect partner to the 2010 season's relaxed-fit cropped trousers. Summer's leather thong and strapped gladiator sandals, or espadrilles which tie up the leg, are at their most stylish when they are paired with loose looks such as caftans and tunic dresses.
They also add some attitude to summer linens and shorts and give the appearance of longer legs. Who doesn't want that?
Summer sandals in a neutral tone will elongate legs. Dainty thin-strapped sandals suit thin wispy fabrics and can look off balance with a heavily-layered look.
Flat open sandals are best left to the beach rather than the boardroom whereas high-heeled sandals look the business with a work suit. For those women who can't bear to wear high heels at work, a low-heeled closed-toe sandal will look more professional than a flatter open one.
When choosing shoes to flatter an outfit, think about body shape, balance and proportion. A thick-heel or platform will ground a heavily-textured or voluminous look whilst a thin heel and dainty straps will complement delicate pieces and slim cuts.
Shoes are the perfect addition to any outfit, and can make or break your fashion style. When you pay attention to the type of body you have, you can find the exact shoes to flatter your legs, ankles, and feet and keep you looking hot while you are feeling hot in the summer months.
Don't forget that online shopping can be your friend. Check out some of your favorite shoe stores online today and find the shoes to fit your perfect summer day!
