Five Things That You Should Know about Footwear Fashions
Footwear fashions change all the time. At least they appear to do so, but there are a few things that are universally true about footwear fashions, and these never change. It’s important that you understand about these universal truths, because they will help you to look your best always, no matter which shoes you decide to buy.
OK, so here are five things that you really should know about the shoes you wear:
1. Ankle Strap
Have you ever noticed how amazing the models look in their ankle strap shoes? These shoes are very elegant and they snake around the lower ankle like a silk scarf across a goddess’s neck.
Yes, that’s the look we all want to achieve, but in reality, it is achievable by only a select few: those that are thin, tall, or both thin and tall.
This is because they actually create a shortening effect on your legs. They make them appear wider and shorter than they are. This works well if you’re trying to appear shorter, but if you’re looking to create a slimmer and taller silhouette, then it’s a style that you should generally avoid wearing.
2. High heeled, Narrow boots
The best way to create the sexiest look you can achieve with a pair of jeans is to pair skinny and tailored jeans with a nice pair of thin, leather, stiletto-heeled boots.
This combination is the best way to wear such a pair of boots because the contrast with the jeans (which are casual, relaxed, and modest) with the sexiness of the boots creates the perfect balance of sexiness and casualness.
Kate Moss frequently wears this look, so you’ll be in great company.
3. Mule’s with a Medium Heel
If you’re stuck for a choice of shoe to wear during the summer months, then a mule with a medium heel is perfect. They’re an all-round great shoe and there are several reasons for this:
I. They’re structured and that means they’re comfortable
II. They add height, but they do it in a way that distributes your weight well, meaning that it’s easy to walk without experiencing the usual pain of wearing heels.
III. They look great with skirts, trousers, shorts, and jeans alike, so they’re extremely versatile.
Reiker shoes do a fantastic collection of mule-style shoes, so check them out if this style sounds good for you.
4. Pointy flats trick with jeans
So, most of the shoes we’ve mentioned so far sport a heel – although Reiker shoes come in a wide range of styles, so that’s not strictly true. However, heels aren’t for everyone. Some people simply don’t like walking in heels and, to be fair, it isn’t natural, and it probably does create issues in the long run.
Fortunately, there is a trick that can bring you most of the benefits of wearing heels (making your legs look longer; making you look slimmer; etc.) and that is to choose flats that have a pointy toe.
Pointy toes make your legs look longer, which in turn makes you look taller, and in turn is slimming. Instead of buying the round-toe ballerina pumps, this year try swapping them for a pointy toe.
5. Buy expensive
Finally, plenty of people buy cheap shoes because it means that they can buy different options more often. However, it’s always better to save up for a very high quality shoe. The reason for this is that a well-built shoe is excellent for your posture. They can also be very fashionable and if you choose a classic style, it will never go out of fashion.
Instead of buying news shoes, if your expensive shoes fail (e.g. the heel falls off, or you get a scratch), all you do is take it to a footwear repair place and they will repair the shoe for you. If you buy one or two very high quality shoes, you won’t need to buy any more for at least 20 years.
