Have you already started fantasizing about the sun and surf and the pool side summer days ahead? How about the latest trendy footwear for a romp on the beach? Neutrals are back this year with a vengeance. So just grab a ‘barely there’ shade of anything: dresses, handbags, jewelry and even sandals, and you are up to date on the latest.
Nude pumps have been around for some time now, with some celebrities picking up this trend last year. And that suits us just fine, since this makes our wardrobe decisions much easier. We no longer have to worry about what to pair with a pink dress, or how to transition jeans from winter wear to summer wear. All we need is a pair of nude shoes and the problem is solved.
Neutral shoes are so versatile; they never really go out of style. The fashion world keeps finding new and interesting ways to keep these all time classics fresh and exciting. Most women feel comfortable in neutrals for the ease with which they can be paired with all color dresses.
Neutral colors of spring
Neutrals can generally be broadly categories as shades of grey, brown, black and white. This spring, light and mid tone neutral shoes is a rage. You can select from a range of beige, cream, soft pink, tan, brown, olive, camel, grey and the forever black and white. But for those of you who love some bright colors on your feet, shades in blue and green too will be dominating the season.
Neutral suggestions
Since neutrals are neither warm nor cool, they work well with other colors. If in a hurry, just throw on some neutral sandals with any trendy outfit, and you are all set. The best part of neutral shoes is that they can be paired with nearly any outfit.
For example, with a medium blue cocktail dress you can try beige, off white or black patent leather shoes. A sling back or pump style shoe with nude color hosiery would also look great.
Similarly, with navy blue top and white pants you can wear skin tone shoes with a matching handbag or a matching white shoe and colored purse.
With a soft yellow dress, you might try a sandal or sling back shoe in soft metallic gold or a white sandal.
Pair a dark red cocktail satin dress with simple style black shoes and black/nude color stockings. Sandal style black shoes can also be worn without stockings, and add some bronzer on the legs to make them dark.
Make a statement with neutrals
Until now you must be using neutral accessories to support a more vibrant outfit. But this summer you can try a totally neutral look in varying shades for an airy summer ready ensemble with a modern feel. Don’t wear a single neutral color but mix and match different shades of the same neutral in soft browns, olives, creams and grey. This season, neutrals make a statement all on their own!
Most versatile neutral shoes
If it was going to be your first pair of shoes you ever purchased, I would have suggested a pair of black pumps. These are the most essential for any women, ranging from simple classics to sexy retro versions and can be worn with any designs. You can wear them with torn jeans or smart business suits and everything in between.
For your second pair of footwear, light neutrals would be ideal like creams or tans. A pair of black and another in neutral would meet almost all the requirements of your closet.
Balance the look
Where it is easy to pair neutral shoes with any color scheme that you choose, just don’t forget that a balanced look works best. Summer is for the tanned and bronzed, so choose colors that best suit and enhance your complexion. For a sun kissed glowing skin, ivory and mauve flats suit best, where as for lighter complexions browns and coppers bring out the charm. Neutrals are for everyone, so go ahead and choose some shades best for your feet.
