White shoes are multifaceted and bear the stamp of unpredictability. In one case it looks harmonious, but in another it spoils the whole picture. To avoid a stylish fiasco, it will be useful to familiarize yourself with the basic recommendations for using snow-white pairs at different times of the year.
Features of combining white shoes with clothes
White shoes cannot be called safe, but all because of their shade. It emphasizes every flaw in the leg and the item worn on it.. Defects in such shoes are much more noticeable than in the case of a dark pair.
If the material is cheap, then it will not be possible to hide it. If the white leather on the fold is cracked, then no matter how much shoe polish you apply, the fold will still turn ugly black and stand out from the general background. If the nose of the shoes peels off, then not a single life hack will revive them. Because You only need to make ensembles with ideal-looking, good-quality white shoes. Otherwise, even if you can put together a successful set, it will still end up being a failure, and all because of the condition or quality of the shoes.
Snow-white shoes deserve special attention. Short, plump girls should not buy a pair like this, as it will visually enlarge their legs. Will make it more massive, but short. Some trousers will be able to reverse the effect, but the search for them may continue for more than one day. It is much easier and safer not to use white heeled models at all if you have problems with excess weight, veins or the shape of your legs.
At the same time, in the line of snow-white models shoes are considered one of the most versatile options. They are often used in total looks as the only prominent spot. Moreover, the image itself can be composed on the basis of almost any tone - bright, dark, light, classic or pastel.
When trying on shoes with plain non-white clothes, a slight feeling of dissonance may appear. It will pass, just wait complement an existing image with a snow-white spot of an accessory. If we are talking about an office dress, then it’s time to take a closer look at a headscarf or a bag that holds its shape well. If you're talking about a street style outfit, then you should focus on the right socks, watch, hat or backpack.
Socks, tights - what kind?
This is not the first season that white shoes have been among the absolute trends, so they have already acquired a thick layer of rules-myths, and behind this layer it can be difficult to consider really good recommendations. In order not to be confused anymore, let’s first get acquainted with the tips that should be followed, and then with those that can and should be violated.
Follow these guidelines if you want to look stylish in a white pair:
- White socks and white shoes are a classic of the genre. However, you need to understand that classics are about truly white objects that have retained their attractive appearance and depth of color. Socks that have turned yellow from washing, just like sneakers that have turned gray from frequent wear on dirty streets, can never become the basis for something that has been established in time and traditional.
- A logo is not always appropriate on socks. Such a couple will fit perfectly into the framework of a sporting event or a visit to the gym; the streets will treat her with understanding, but in the office she will look like a “black sheep.”
- Sneakers and sneakers on bare feet are not hygienic. And although it may seem that the street style stars are not wearing anything under such shoes, in fact they are wearing ultra-short hosiery.
- Sneakers require models with an unexpressed texture, that is, without voluminous patterns. The maximum you can afford is ribbed socks, but flat ribbed ones. As for the width, choose for yourself.
- With closed, smooth shoes, socks can become a bright accent. Well, when putting together an outfit with sneakers and colored socks, be prepared to coordinate the entire look by shade.
Important! Don't wear black tights with white shoes. Neither openwork, nor nylon, nor dense ones are suitable for white shoes.
Here are the rules to follow:
- Thin socks that go perfectly with classic and business pairs, feel free to wear them in casual and sports looks based on sneakers and sneakers.
- Black socks are mistakenly considered an attribute that does not match white shoes. In fact, he will be able to beat the look, put together with good jeans (primarily models with roll-ups) or good black trousers.
- Flesh-colored socks, primarily made from a cotton-silk mixture, are a great idea for flat shoes.
Important! When choosing socks, remember that they are the link between shoes and clothing. Therefore, they must be “friends” with the items of clothing they are wearing. For example, match their thickness. So a warm pair or just one made from thick fabric will not look very good against the background of short shorts. You should choose something thinner for them.
How to combine white shoes in summer?
Ensemble options for a cool day:
- sneakers, maxi dress (straight, slits allowed), bomber jacket;
- moccasins, boyfriends, long sleeve shirt tucked in;
- sneakers, denim shorts, loose T-shirt (tucked in), bomber jacket.
Well, on a hot day, opt for light clothes made of fine linen, silk, and cotton. Recommended colors: green, blue, red, yellow, coral. Total onions are worth trying too. If the white canvas seems too simple or cold, the right accessories will come to the rescue.. For example, a bag in a bright shade.
If you are the happy owner of a milky mule, then you have 2 win-win solutions: wear dresses that are as feminine as possible, but at the same time charming in their simplicity, or turn to narrow, slightly cropped trousers. The latter can either gravitate toward the classics or be tailored in accordance with street fashion.
Autumn looks with white shoes
Jeans are perhaps the most recommended wardrobe item. However, they should be put aside when it comes to autumn looks with white boots - the option that comes out with them is too trivial and many times copied and copied. Instead of boyfriends and denim slims, take a closer look suit trousers. Instead of a jacket - a woolen coat as simple as possible. No crazy decor or prints, only high-quality tailoring and pleasant color of the item.
What to wear with white boots and ankle boots?
Warm light sweaters, plain sweaters and shirts that fall off one shoulder are the right choice. Wherein it is not necessary to give preference to pure shades. It is quite acceptable to use things of a so-called dirty tone, something from the category of gray or beige.
Important! If you really want bright colors and prints, then opt for things with a pattern that, in addition to rich colors, contains white elements.
For the bottom, take an elongated – ¾ – non-fitting skirt, boyfriends, culottes, leather trousers. When choosing between them, remember that not every figure gets along next to an image in which every item of clothing bears the stamp of oversize, even if it is fashionable. Because taking a wide top, try to balance it with a less loose bottom. The rule also applies in reverse.
And also white boots in cold weather - basis for the traditional image of the Snow Maiden. A fitted light coat with trim, a fur hat, shoes with stable heels - and now you can no longer be distinguished from the granddaughter of Santa Claus. True, some stylists consider such a look vulgar, but their opinion is willingly violated every year by thousands of Russian women.
