Sneakers

Bette Midler once said “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” So what exactly are the right shoes? With an amazing array of choice when it comes to shoe shopping, it can be difficult to work out which pair to leave the store with. Tempting as it may be, it isn’t practical to buy them all. So, before you give in to impulses, make sure you build a closet of essential shoes.

Six essential shoes every woman should own:

1. Ballet flats

Audrey Hepburn made these shoes a style staple. They are comfortable and very versatile; you can wear them with office gear, jeans or even a little black dress. Black are very classic and go with virtually any other color.

2. Knee High boots

Choose a neutral or black colored pair in leather. The most classic styles have a slightly square toe and a medium height, block heel. They should fit well around the calf and come to just under the knee to achieve the most flattering appearance.

3. Flip flops

Whether it’s for a day at the beach or taking the rubbish out, you always need something to quickly slide on and off your feet that isn’t too precious. Make sure you choose a pair that is comfortable between the toes and for practicality rubber styles are perfect.

4. Sneakers

Every woman needs a pair of sneakers for walking, going to the gym or running all day errands. The new street style sneakers are perfect for versatility, but if you partake in a high impact sport you might need a more serious trainer.

5. High heel sandals or pumps

When Catherine de Medici wore a two inch heel to help her appear taller at her wedding ceremony in 1533 she probably had no idea as to the trend she was starting. Even if your lifestyle is very casual it pays to have one classy pair of heels you can wear for special occasions or formal appearances. If you choose a leather pair in a neutral color you will find that they can take you from the office through to cocktails or an evening out. So if you can only afford one pair avoid embellishment or fabrics like velvet or satin. Also make sure you choose a heel style you can walk in, if you are confident in stilettos go ahead and indulge in these because they are always classic. Otherwise choose more of a block heel.

6. Flat sandals

Choose a pair that are dressy enough to work back with semi formal dresses and these shoes will get loads of use. A nice pair works with casual office gear through to casual summer dresses.

A few more additional classics, if your budget stretches further:

-Pumps or loafers suitable for the office

-Mid heel sling backs-the strap provides great support

-strappy evening shoes with some bling

-A casual leather boot in suede

-A dressy leather boot with a stiletto heel for winter evening events

Shoes can truly make or break an outfit, having a good selection of classics on hand means you should always have something suitable to wear on your feet!
