A Few Tips For Choosing The Right High Heeled Shoes For You And Your Outfit.

By:


There are ample assorted types of high heels, including pumps, platforms, sandals, wedges and high boots for womenand there the increasing trend for men to now wear high shoes, this indicates just how many styles today's shoe fashion embraces. Heels don't have to be too high to be in fashion and comfortable so here are a few tips for choosing the right pair of high heeled shoes:
....Choose the right shoe shape and heel height for your legs.... If legs are too stocky, pointed toe heels will appear much smaller and may make feet look out of proportion with the rest of the body. Find a shoe that makes the body look in proportion with the shoes. Many people make their legs appear leaner by choosing a wider design in heeled shoes. Heels that are too sturdy may make your legs look sturdy also.
....What shoes are the best choice for an outfit?.... Colour, dress length and style are critical to shoe choice, for example if very high heels such as stilletos are worn with a mini skirt there is real danger of the wrong message being put across. high heeled shoes will lengthen the look of long skirts on a shorter person but make note of the height of the heel as the dress or skirt must not appear too long or too short. A floor length dress does not require elaborate shoes because they will not be visible. Mid height heels may be more suitable for knee length outfits. Be careful of wearing highly decorative shoes with a longer dress particularly as they may conflict with the dress details. Extravagant shoes achieve better results with shorter dresses. Simple classic shoes are more suited to longer elaborate dresses. Avoid black shoes with pastel outfits unless bags and belts are coordinated. If wearing jeans, the shape of the bottom of the jeans can also indicate the choice. Platform heels can be great with jeans and if the jeans are longer the impression is that you are taller which can be a bonus!
....Safety.... Be wary of strappy high heels and stilletos. They can look super sexy but ankles can be twisted easily. Take care that straps are firmly attached and the heel chosen is well balanced. Maybe choose a wedge heel. Another tip is to roughen the bottoms of new shoes which can help one avoid slipping on the dance floor.
....Flexibility.... Wedge heels can provide the best of both worlds and can give all the leg slimming' and extra height' benefits of a normal heel. They are great with mid and mini skirts and are great for wearing to the office. High heeled boots can also be very flexible and can be worn with almost all outfits. They are great with skirts and acceptable for office wear.
....Comfort.... High heels don't have to mean super high heels' or stilettos which can be very painful if not chosen suitably, and they are also not geared for walking too far in. If heels do need to go hand in hand with comfort, which is a sensible option..then a lower heel or a kitten heel should be selected. Maybe choose a style with squared-off toes or open toes and shorter, chunkier heels instead of stilettos or maybe, again, theall round wedge heel which slopes the foot gently and supports the whole of the foot area. Wedge heels are good for the office because they can be worn for longer periods of time without too much strain on the foot. Perhapsbuy shoes later in the day as the foot can swell as the day goes on. Also break them in in advance if one aims to wear them to a special function. at the end of the day the heel height chosen should be determined by how much discomfort one can allow oneself.
....Sex appeal....Sandals with heels and boots with heels are very, very, sexy, and very adaptable as well. In addition to enhancing ones femininity, sandals tied at the ankle, or higher up the leg, will draw attention to legs as well as feet. Most sandals, along with flip flops, some of which do fall under the category of high heels, have small, delicate heels, called kitten heels, which gives them a look that can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on ones preferences.
