Can ankle strap shoes be casual?
Sure can, pair with a skinny jean or a slim legged leather pant. Add a flowy top to balance out the sleek bottom half and relax the outfit. Two things to keep in mind – keep the top simple and free of sparkly embellishments; and second, think proportions. Too flowy (large) a top may over power the outfit.
I love ankle strap shoes, but it’s hard to find a pair that fit well and are comfortable. Any suggestions?
Look for ankle straps that are adjustable for the best fit and comfort when wearing. Also, look for elastic that can provide more give when walking.
Love ankle straps, but want to invest? Create your own by getting matching bold ankle bracelets. Best if they lay against the top of the foot. Pair with simple pumps or ballerina flats to give the illusion of ankle straps. The loose fit of the anklet will give you the look you are after with all the comfort a favorite shoe you already own.
I have this great black dress and want to wear a metallic shoe. What should I get?
Any metallic shoe will work – silver, gold, bronze or pewter. To narrow down your choice, I’d recommend a silver or gold for a fancy occasion and stick to a subdued pewter or bronze for more casual affairs.
