Need a sassy upgrade for your wardrobe? Go nude. No, I’m not suggesting you give up on fashion and start sporting your birthday suit, no, it is time to choose a new pair of nude shoes that will make everything in your wardrobe look a little more vibrant, and make your legs look miles long.
Nude shoes elongate your legs by not breaking up the line from your leg down to the floor. The slimming factor is doubled when you choose nude heels with pointy toes. Trendy booties, comfortable wedges and flats are other possibilities.
While nude shoes may go well with a little black dress, red, blue, brown or even a vibrant print, you may want to avoid pairing shades of green with nude to avoid the unfortunate scouting connotations. Otherwise, this classy choice is just as sophisticated as black and less Easter-outfit than white.
Transition from winter to spring with the following chic choices.
Candies Platform High Heels. Simple, classic pump with an extra one-inch platform and four and ½ inch heel, these shoes are remarkably comfortable due the extra padded insoles. Pair with everything from a little black dress to trouser style jeans. The peep-toe is a sexy surprise coming from an otherwise plain jane shoe.
G by Guess Vianna. Another platform pump, this classic patent leather shoe has a 4 ¾ inch heel and a 1 ¼ inch platform. Your legs will look as long as Julia Roberts in Pretty Women with these babies. Step out in a slinky red dress and it is all but guarenteed every eye will be on you.
Jones New York Mirinesse. Snake embossed, these 2 ¼ inch sleek pumps are perfect to pair with wide legged pants. While lower to the ground, the long pointy toe elongates your leg and the snakeskin brings an updated look to a earthy color. Very wearable, these low heels can be stepped into whenever you step out, whether you are wearing jeans or a pencil skirt.
Steve Madden’s web site offers everything a nude girl could want; sky high heels, classic pumps, Mary Janes, booties, wedges and thongs. If it isn’t apparent, I simply could not choose just one from this website.
So I’ll highlight the three that catch my eye;
Lovely by Steve Madden. A suede bootie with a 4 1/2 inch skinny heel and little peep toe.This is not a shoe I would generally by drawn to, but the nude suede gives it a subtle flair that just might work with skinny jeans, or matching tights and a funky mini dress.
Delitful by Steve Madden. A bit different than the platform pumps, this pointy toe number is available in a soft blush. The 4 inch heel is a streamlined choice that is very lady-like.
Urgency by Steve Madden. May be my favorite simply for the memories associated with Mary Janes; my mom, grandma and favorite dance teacher always wore a pair of pretty Mary Janes. An easy to wear 2 1/2 inch heel, these pretty ladies are ready to swing.
Lovely by Jimmy Choo. If money is no object, and you are willing to wait, register on the Jimmy Choo website to get in line for these super stylish, round toe pumps. Powder pink leather Choo’s for $525 (when available), email [email protected]
