It is safe to say that everyone has at least a trusty pair of black shoes in their wardrobe. I dare you to introduce me to one person that lacks this essential pair.
Black is a neutral color and thus, making it easy to match with any color on the color wheel. Despite this ease, some people stay awake worrying all night about what to wear with a great pair of polished, black shoes. Therefore, here is a simple guide to this all time perennial fashion question:
Little Black Dress
A pair of patent black heels is a classic match with your Little Black Dress (LBD) and it will totally work. However, don't feel like you need to play it safe with your black shoes. Jazz up your basic LBD with a pair of black shoes that have patterns, embellishments or textures. They will definitely inject some excitement to your plain black frock.
Brown And Navy
There is this fashion rule that says that you cannot mix black with brown and navy without ending in a major fashion disaster. Your brown or navy dress can be easily ruined by slipping on a pair of black shoes. However, I always believe that rules are meant to be broken. All you need to do is to know how.
Because brown and navy are as neutral as black, it is actually a piece of cake to break this one rule. To pull off your look together, accent your black shoes with black accessories; a black belt to cinch you at the narrowest part of your body, a black shimmery clutch to tote your essentials around or black bangles or necklace to bring focus to your best assets. Just remember to not pile on too many accessories until it overwhelms you.
