Anyone who knows me knows I love shoes. Entire outfits begin centered around shoes for me on many occasions. I really love all kinds of shoes but flats and kitten or lower heels have started to become a bigger portion of my collection. It’s perfect timing because this season both styles are popular and choices are plentiful. Rich colors as well as color blocking add punch and interest to shoe styles this Fall.
One style I’m really liking this year is inspired by menswear. You’ll find a lot of styles with a more masculine edge to them. These would look great with a pair of ankle socks and a skirt or a pair of skinny jeans. I would also wear these with a great pinstripe suit or a mini skirt and t-shirt for added twist. They are perfect for workday wear.
A stylish pair of pointed toe flats can instantly add a touch of polish to any outfit. They work equally well with a dress, skirt or jeans. I recently added a black patent leather pair to my closet. This neutral pair with a metallic panel pulls together two trends for this season in a beautiful way. Metallic accents are another way to add some interest to a basic pair of flats. This mary jane style not only adds cool silver studs but also features color blocking…they would be fun with a mini skirt and sweatshirt for weekend errands.
If you’re looking for an easy to wear alternative to high heels but still want a little bit of “lift,” check out the kitten heel. These lower heels are really comfortable and can be worn all day. I like to pair mine with distressed boyfriend jeans.
Enjoy adding a new pair of shoes to your wardrobe!
