Expert Tips
Those who are interested in fashion, it is always interesting to know the opinion of experts about a particular piece of clothing.
So, Evelina Khromtchenko, a recognized guru in the fashion world, is convinced that shoes can tell a woman much more than you can imagine. In her opinion, to demonstrate good taste, shoes with an open cape should be worn either on a bare leg (assuming a perfect pedicure) or with pantyhose (stockings) of the same shade as shoes (contrasting options offered by world-famous designers are good only on the podium).
In general, a recognized fashion expert believes that this model of shoes is unacceptable as office clothing. (with the exception of the sphere of journalism and cinematography) - it expresses the subconscious sexual appeal in relation to the surrounding men. Even made in a classic manner, such shoes never look innocent. If a woman wants to attract a man, she should be able to do it in a closed suit. According to Evelyn, it is more appropriate to wear sandals to work when the weather is appropriate - they do not carry this hypertrophied sweet femininity.
As for the combination of shoes with an open cape and tights, another expert - fashion historian Alexander Vasilyev - is more categorical: he believes that this combination is moveton.
What to wear?
The most important issue that perplexes owners of shoes with an open cape - Is it possible to wear them with tights or stockings? It must be said, the opinion of stylists on this issue is ambiguous. Some people consider this unacceptable, while others fully admit it. The choice is yours, if you decide to wear tights under such shoes, then it should be a thin product (15-20 den) imitating a “second skin”. More dense will look vulgar. As for black shoes (and this is the most common option), they can be combined with tights of the same color.
If you shoe open shoes on a bare leg, it will not hurt to get a beautiful tan, and also keep in mind that your pedicure must be flawless. It can be pastel colored lacquer, bright catchy color or a trendy floral print. Well-groomed nails always give a woman a stylish look.
As an office shoe, open-toe shoes (usually a “boat” model with heels) can be combined with blouses, tops or shirts. Looks stylish option when a shirt or top matches the tone of the shoes, the jacket - the skirt. A great casual look for work — black shoes and a pencil skirt. Shoes to create a business image is better to choose a single color, but if your dress or skirt is a bright color, then shoes with a floral or animal print are appropriate.
If we consider an option for rest, then any model of shoes with an open nose is appropriate (with a heel or on a flat sole, wedge). To create a romantic image, wear these shoes under a feminine dress, and most harmoniously these shoes look with a long outfit or mini. A set of stylish heels and a short skirt will help you look attractive in the eyes of the surrounding men. In this case, it would be appropriate to open shoes with a cork wedge, equipped with an elegant ankle strap.
Open toe shoes are perfectly acceptable to wear with jeans, pants, shorts. However, here it is necessary to observe the compatibility of materials: for example, classic flared trousers cannot be combined with shoes from a groom. As for jeans, they are well combined with shoes with a wide heel. Such an ensemble will ideally complement a naughty print T-shirt and a bulk bag.
For a party with friends, extravagant shoes with studs and rivets are suitable. Combine them with a long shirt or a tunic, choose narrow capris or mini shorts as a bottom. Another option is a lightweight chiffon dress.
Do not give up accessories - they will give a special charm to any image, it is important only to remember the sense of proportion. This may be sunglasses, a light scarf or a scarf, a stylish handbag, jewelry.
