When it comes to creating an outfit for a social event, accessories are even more important than the clothes themselves. Necklaces, earrings, handbags and shoes, each play an important part in giving any outfit that finished and polished look we demand. From all those accessories, shoes may not be the ones you see most, but they do have the most impact on your overall comfort throughout the event. After all, if your feet are not happy, you probably won't be.

Any woman's closet should have a few essential pairs of shoes. These shoes can go with any of your outfits and make them look just a little better, and will save you from having to buy countless pairs to go with countless dresses. One shoe you can never do without is a pair of simple, black pumps. It serves much as the black cocktail dress would, and is suitable for any occasion. Be it a quiet dinner in a restaurant or a night dancing the salsa, black pumps will suit your needs. No matter what the color of your outfit is, black will never clash with it, and since pumps will never go out of fashion you will be set for years to come.

When it comes to comfort, a lot of women tend to wear sneakers. There is no disputing that sneakers will keep your feet from getting sore, but it doesn't help you look fashionable. Instead, a pair of clogs will function just as well as sneakers. You can wear them for a day in the mall or simply a trip to the beach, and can even take them jogging if you want to. It won't be as comfortable as sneakers of course, so if you jog regularly you might want to invest in sneakers after all. If you don't, with a single pair of clogs you save yourself from having to buy sandals, sneakers and slippers. Talk about a good deal!

Last but not least is a good pair of boots. For winter and summer, boots are a perfect blend of comfort and fashion. They don't go very well under a cocktail dress, but gives that little extra something to a skirt and blouse, or pants depending on your choice. Black is recommended, but brown serves just as well and looks a little warmer. With these three types of shoes in your closet, you can never go wrong no matter what you wear.
