What Shoes To Wear With White?

CR asked this question a few days ago, so I thought I’d post a few of my favorite options from my own closet:

(Closer look)

(I don’t own these, but they would look amazing with summer whites)

Two-toned bone pumps with square toe;
Bronze Mary Janes (great with suits);
Bronze dressy pump with jewel detail and strap;
Black shoe-bootie ( I would wear these with a white wool suit and carry a black patent leather clutch);
Nude Bandolino pump.

It’s all about texture, style and weight of fabrics and garments. Of course you wouldn’t wear a white dress with a black shoe-bootie, but you might layer that white dress with a black or bright green or charcoal cardigan, add a great ethnic scarf, add opaque black tights and wear THAT with the black booties.

You wouldn’t wear a gauzy white summer skirt with the bronze dressy pumps. But you could certainly wear a winter white woolen skirt with a subtly patterned tight with the bronze Mary Janes and a sweater up top for the fall or winter.

You could wear the Bandolino pumps with a pair of fantastic white trousers, a denim jacket and patterned dressy T-shirt under that. Gold hoop earrings, hair pulled back, a bold lipstick, you’re smashing.

If you feel hopelessly confused by all of this, consult the latest In Style or Glamour. Study. Then take some chances.
