Finding the perfect pair of shoes can be quite a challenge especially if you are one of those people who have discriminating taste. In fact, a lot of people especially women are known to spend hours and hours trying to match their clothes and their shoes! Achieving that perfect look is never easy. To help you match your clothes with your clothes, here are some tips for you.

Choosing the right look

The first thing that you need to considered when matching your clothes and shoes in the kind of look that you want to achieve. Make up your mind about how you want to look for the day before you rummage through your closet so avoid spending so much time trying to figure out what goes well with what. There is really no point of spending hours raiding your closet so make up your mind right from the start.

When getting your things together, always remember that your clothes and shoes will have to blend perfectly to give you the right kind of look. For instance, if you want to look cool and very professional, you need to get some conservative retro shoes. Forget about those polka dot shoes, retro mules, retro slides and slingback shoes for a while. Although these types of shoes will probably look great during parties and other occasions, they will not really look very good inside the boardroom. Instead of using those sexy looking retro shoes with traps and strings, you better stick to the medium heeled, classic leather shoes.

Shoes with rounded or squared toe shoes with tapped or stacked hills will make you look really professional especially if you wear it with a skirt. On the other hand, if you want to wear a pair of slacks to work, a nice retro pumps, oxfords or loafers will look great with your slacks. Wearing vintage high heels to the work is acceptable but if you can help it, it would be better for you to reserve your vintage shoes for other occasions.

When choosing the kind of shoes to complete your desired look, match the color of your shoes with the color of clothes. When we say match, that does not really mean that these things be of the same color or shade. Matching clothes and shoes means that your shoes must blend correctly with the colors of your clothes. For instance, to achieve a casual but elegant look, you may pair your backless slide-ons or ballet slippers with long skirts. Ballet slippers matched with some long peasant skirt will give you a more carefree appearance. On the other hand, your retro sneakers will match nicely with a pair of jeans or Capri pants for a cool and laid back look.
