What shoe styles should every woman own?

Shoes can make or break an outfit!!!

If you are on a budget or just starting to build a wardrobe the following five shoe styles will work with all of your clothes: 1) a pair of ballerina flats, 2) loafers, 3) pumps, 4) sneakers, and 5)ankle shoes/boots.

All of these five styles should be investment purchases. They should fit perfectly, be comfortable, and be constructed from quality materials or from good quality leather. Stick with classic closed-toe styles in neutral colors such as black, brown or beige.

Once you have your basic shoe styles and can afford to add more shoes to your wardrobe, choose different styles in that shoe type that you wear most often first. For example, if you wear ballet flats more than the other shoe styles you can add a pair in animal print, your favorite color or perhaps a pair with ankle ties.

1) Ballerina flats are similar to ballet flats that dancers wear. They are sophisticated and elegant and will go with casual or dressy outfits. Choose a delicate style with rounded or pointy toes in black or beige.  Everybody’s favorite flat.

2) Loafers work with casual and back to school clothes. Loafers are traditionally worn with separates such as jeans, pants, shorts, and skirts. However today women pair them with dresses.

3) Closed toe pumps/court shoes are basic shoes with heels. Good with everything. Perfect for dress up but you can style them with jeans too. Choose rounded or pointy toes and different heel styles. Heels should never be too high.

4) Ankle boots have become wardrobe essentials for women. They add style to casual or dress up outfits. Low heel styles flatter casual clothes and pair your ankle boots with heels with dress up clothes.

5) Black or White sneakers will work with casual and dressy in 2020. Sneakers are so comfortable and everyone needs a pair for walking in town and country.
