Fashion is a creative, innovative and quite flexible matter, but this does not mean that there no rules should be applied. As a matter of fact, when talking about shoes, fashion can be quite decisive and strict. But don't worry, here are some efficient tips on what you need to do in order to wear fashionable shoes at all times!



What to Throw Away as Fast and Far as Possible

Those black and white sport shoes made of thick linen are so 2002, so start throwing them away. Besides, these kind of shoes turn into used shoes so rapidly, that you can't actually get a neat appearance if wearing them for the 10th time. Moreover, used-looking shoes (used leather, used discolored textile) should also definitely be on their way to the garbage. Classy is in, chic is in, so anything which seems used and damaged is out!

Besides the used-looking shoes, there are other types of shoes which should be eliminated from the closet as soon as possible: the extremely pointy shoes (the ones that seem like they could hurt someone). Actually, these should have been thrown away some seasons ago, but anyway. Oh, and if they also have 15 cm super-skinny heels, then they are definite no-no!

What to Keep from Last Years' Fashion

Fashion might be restrictive when talking about shoes, but that does not mean that everything that was in fashion four months ago is out of fashion now. If you are a smart shopper, your shoes will prove to be actual "long time investments". So, here is a good news: the flat shoes are still in and hey, isn't this an excellent news, considering that you have been wearing them for like three years now and they are the most comfortable shoes ever?

Even more: take a look in your mom's teenage closet. Or, if you are quite young, in your grandma's closet. Why? The 50's, 60's and 70's shoes are back! And you can not go wrong if you are wearing the originals. Platforms, thick V-shaped heels, colorful shoes, retro-dancing shoes, latex shoes, shoes with decorative bows, they are all "in"!

What to Buy Immediately

We already established that the old years' trends regarding the shape of the shoes are back. If talking about the prints of the shoes, then there are some major trends that need to be followed, in case you want to be a fashion icon. The trendiest patterns? Well, there is the animal print (in shades of brown, black and white-yes, including cow print) and the bubbles or dots. Actually, dots are making a fashion statement this year and they appear mostly in red / white / black combinations.

If talking about colors, then you should know that the "shoes have to be the same color as the dress or as the purse" is totally outdated. The new rule is much more flexible and sustains that shoes should be in an opposite color than the one of the outfit (like red shoes with golden dress or yellow shoes with back outfit). And if you feel like matching the shoes, match them with your nail polish, lipstick, earrings or bracelets. Red shoes, together with silver and golden shoes replaced the so called classy, but actually boring black shoes, but now, it seems that yellow tends to replace red. This season is full of possibilities!
