Oftentimes we wonder which one is that one garment that sets us apart from others when it comes to our outfit, the garment that captures the attention and everyone's eyes from the first moment. Far from being that Chanel dress or the Armani suit that we love so much, our shoes are the stars of our Total Look.
Nowadays, women have plenty of options when choosing, but not all of them are good and valid. And no, I regret to inform you that there is no such thing as an all-purpose shoe that can be used for a business meeting, an afternoon cocktail or to watch a tennis match (although many of us wish it were so). For men, very fortunately for them, it is much simpler.
There are certain things we must take into account when choosing our shoes. The first thing you need to consider is the purpose of them, that is to say, what we’ll be using them for and how often; knowing this you can start thinking about the style you want. Style and elegance should always prevail above all, always. The comfort is also important, but let's be honest, no matter how comfortable your 12 cm high stiletto heels are, after spending several hours with them, they stop being as comfortable as at the beginning and you even start hating them.
Fortunately, major shoe designers are increasingly thinking about this, and give us a wide variety of choices for every occasion. More and more beautiful than ever, crafted to perfection, full of details, meant to be beautiful and comfortable at the same time, and also with their own trends. Some of them come with a touch of transparency, others with futuristic style made almost completely of plastic. The black (that as long as fashion exists it will be trend and quintessential symbol of elegance), brown or red, are no longer fashionable colors. Pastels, neon, glowing and full of personality colors are the stars these days, either in flats, pumps, stilettos, platforms, etc. As for textures, crystals, pyramid studs, glitter, and of course the animal print and the Black & Gold combination, are the latest trend. That is to say, there's something for all kinds of styles.
In my case, I have a very defined taste when choosing my shoes; I must confess I have a great devotion for Christian Louboutin’s, they have that Je Ne Sais Quoi that makes you feel like a goddess, they are modern, naughty, feminine and very sensual. The elegance, class and sobriety of Manolo Blahnik’s is captivating and addictive, while Jimmy Choo’s with their cosmopolitan and superlative style, become an exquisite, magnetic and seductive Must Have. Other brands such as Casadei, Giambattista Vali, Alberta Ferretti, Giuseppe Zanoti, Le Silla, Missoni and Sergio Rossi, also enjoy great popularity and prestige for the originality of their designs and excellent completion and quality of their shoes.
Knowing all this, what are you waiting to get your wonderful new pair of shoes?
