You need these shoes, now!

For every style, you need the right shoe. Every woman needs casual shoes, dressy shoes and outdoor shoes, but what about the in betweens? You know, the casual yet kinda dressy shoe that goes with this dress but not with those jeans? Okay okay, lets just cut to the chase. Here's a guideline for the basics that every woman should own + ways to work them.

Flats

CLORE- Aldo Flats are crucial for gloomy days,  leggings or jeans. If you want ‘statement’ flats, go with a bright pop of color like these red beauties from Aldo; otherwise, stick with neutral colors or a jet black. PRO TIP: Flats with a rounded toe make the foot appear smaller.



Sandals (with a heel)

GLYNIS – Aldo

Whether you choose a trendy gladiator or a classy ankle strap, you really can't go wrong. Wear a pair of these with some shorts? Adorable. Combine the shoe and a simple summer dress? Brilliant. The best part is that wearing these to a long barbecue means better comfort (aka not walking like a toddler in stilettos).

Wedges

REVA-Aldo

Wedges look great with almost everything, which is why we love them so much. (They’re also easier to walk in, so that’s a big plus too).  Sandals with big wedges look great with shorts and dresses and pair nicely with bohemian based styles.

Nudies

FRITED-Aldo

This doesn’t necessarily have to be a heel, but every woman needs a nude shoe in her life. Nude looks great with everything. Every color goes with a nude shoe, and so do patterns. To invest in a great nude shoe would be to invest in something universal that can be dressed up or down. The best nude is the one closest to your skin tone. Not convinced? Look at some Kate Middleton photos and guess what color her favorite shoes are.

Loud Shoes

LAMB Jocelyn – DSW

A loud shoe. The loud shoe is your go-to when your entire look is one solid color, or you feel as though the outfit is just too basic. Instead of wearing a black shoe with an entirely black outfit, wear a pair of shoes that have unique colors or different designs. Use an unconventional shoe; the more interesting, the better.
