What to wear with high heels. How to wear a stiletto heel. Place and time for your beauty. With skinny black trousers and jeans

H Black shoes should be in every woman's wardrobe. Is it said loudly? Nothing of the kind! In the book Laurence Benaim about Yves Saint Laurent can be read: " Black is a color". And this phrase does not need to be taken straightforwardly; it is worth looking deeper.

H Black is an incredible color that can tell a thousand stories at once, and all of them will be different from each other. Black is self-sufficient, but at the same time can become the best partner to any other color. This means that black shoes will serve you and your various looks faithfully.

What to wear with ↷

TO It would seem difficult to ruin any look with black shoes, but it is still quite possible. Therefore, we decided to speculate a little about in what case such shoes would really be appropriate.

What to wear with black heels

H Black shoes with medium and high heels look great with cropped trousers in black, coral, burgundy, emerald, sand, and dark blue. For tops, use classic plain shirts and light blouses with voluminous sleeves. A jacket (to match the trousers), a straight coat or a trench coat will help complete the look. Don't forget about bright accessories that help complete the look and make it more lively. So, if you stopped at classic combination black trousers and a white top, then a red thin strap and a red handbag will help to add additional semantic accents in many ways.

WITH The next solution is to combine leather trousers and black heels in one look. Both a feminine blouse with a floral print and a T-shirt with a conceptual or simply funny slogan can be used as the top part of the look. Plus, you can replace leather trousers with torn boyfriends or mom jeans, throw on a biker jacket and walk, walk, walk...

N It’s unlikely, but true - black high-heeled shoes also go well with sports trousers, like these, for example:

IN Pair with a cozy jumper and a light coat to create a wonderful urban look with a sporty chic feel.

A Now about the most “feminine” element of the wardrobe - the dress. Impeccable look = black heels + black dress (small, midi, maxi, oversized, shirt, sheath, etc.). In second place is a white dress. This is followed by red, blue (indigo), emerald, fuchsia, and burgundy. And here we are talking about both everyday dresses and evening dresses.

What to wear with black platform and wedge shoes

H We recommend wearing black platform and wedge shoes with fluffy circle skirts and dresses with the same skirts, both dark and light colors. In this case, you get some pretty nice variations. Take a look:

WITH The next moment is flying chiffon shirt dresses. For summer, the bow is simply excellent. This dress doesn't look banal ( especially if you choose a good print - a regularly current stripe or colorful geometry, for example), and it’s comfortable to walk in wedge or platform shoes, which means you’ll feel confident in any situation. As for the color of the dress, pay attention to shades of red, pink, again white and black. It is also important to follow color trends ( materials about which you can find in the section ““) and know which colors suit yours.

P Let's move on to jeans. In the case of a platform and wedge heel, it is better to choose a skinny or slightly looser model. But otherwise there are no special restrictions. You can wear a top and biker jacket, a jumper and a light raincoat, a blouse and a denim jacket.

ABOUT Something else worth thinking about is classic black shorts, and we recommend wearing them not with a shirt, but with a striped long sleeve!

U Tight black trousers or jeans will also work great. And again let us remind you of a light white blouse and a white top.

Grade

Shoes and heel height often determine a woman's intentions and hidden desires, so let's figure out once and for all when shoes are appropriate, when they are not, and what kind of heeled shoes should never be worn to the office.

When are heels inappropriate?

Even for classic pumps there are restrictions. This regulation is based on common sense, so it is unlikely that shoes with heels will be appropriate on the beach, picnic, park, fitness center, walk around the city, etc. In addition, the height of the heel and the shape of the shoes are also of great importance.

This type of shoe would be inappropriate at work.

Open-toed shoes are extremely inappropriate in the office. Such shoes carry a hidden connotation, they seem to shout: “Take me!” This is why it is unacceptable to wear high-heeled and open-toed shoes to work, unless, of course, your profession is related to fashion, a free schedule and frequent visits to parties. However, even in this case, you can look good in closed shoes, and in hot weather it is better to wear discreet sandals. With them, at least, everything is clear: they open the leg completely, leaving no subtext - simply because it’s hot.

Always in fashion laconic shoes without a platform, with strict straight lines and a stable heel, which can be either square or rectangular, or high and thin.

Sandals completely open the foot and perform specific tasks: These are summer open shoes, they are not hot. Everything is clear, there are no these tricks of hypertrophied sweet femininity.
