What to Wear with… Statement Shoes

Chanel

Alexander McQueen Heels

They were the success story for last season and are still going strong. We blame Carrie Bradshaw for this one! The killer heel and is still going strong in all its glorious combinations. Cut out detailing is big news, along with straps and a rather creative approach to the heel itself.

Louis Vitton Heels

So, you’ve invested in a pair of the season’s show-stoppers and want to wear them at every available opportunity. Whoa there, lady! These are statement shoes, so you will need to tread ever so carefully when it comes to teaming them with the rest of your wardrobe. These shoes speak for themselves and it can all go horribly wrong if you wear them with other very strong items.

As with many fashion conundrums, the key is simplicity. In a fashion year that’s been characterised by the bold and the bright, it’s been very easy to go overboard. Let the shoes do the talking and keep everything else toned down. Have a look at Constantina’s Animal Instinct Flame Dress here and Utility Leggings here for inspiration.

    Good advice! Too often people go overboard with too many focal points that just confuse the eye and overwhelm the viewer. Simplicity in the rest of the outfit is the way to go with a statement piece of clothing or accessory.
