Matching shoes to outfits
When it comes to what to wear with various heels, Guevara offers this simple list:
Kitten heels pair best with knee-length full dresses or skirts. If you're pairing them with jeans, make sure the jeans aren't too long, so you can show off the heels.
Flats pair best with fitted bolero-style pants and khakis as well as fitted or long fluted jeans.
Stilettos pair best with any outfit that reveals the legs, since they are meant to be dangerously sexy.
Stiletto boots pair best with fitted jeans with a fluted base.
If you're not a heel wearer, but want one pair of heels that will dress up various ensembles for parties, Guevara recommends investing in a pair of neutral-coloured two-and-a-half-inch heels. "You'll appear taller, and a neutral tone such as a soft camel will go well with all outfits," she says.
Guevara's tips for buying heels:
1. Look for heels that are joined to the sole of the shoe in the center of where your own heel rests. This type of heel is the most comfortable because it prevents your foot from being propelled forward.
2. Buy heels that run across the entire width of the heel of your foot and then taper toward the floor. This way you'll get more stability.
3. Stacked heels (platforms) allow you to be comfortably elevated in higher heels without the discomfort of wearing stilettos.
Whether you want to convey high glamour, casual elegance, full-throttle sex appeal or polished professionalism, the type of heel you put on matters just as much as the clothes you wear. So treat yourself to a pair of shoes that'll leave you head over heels!
