Shoes are a must have fashion accessory and many women have more than just a few pairs of them. So what shoes should you wear for a special occasion?
 Type of Occasion
First of all, think of the type of event that you are going to. Is it a wedding, birthday party or evening out? What you wear to a wedding will be considerably different to what youâ??ll end up wearing to your friendâ??s garden party. Keep your look feminine but not overdressed for the type of occasion.
Wedding
If youâ??re going to a wedding then think about whether itâ??s going to be inside or outside. If itâ??s inside, then opt for nice heels, not too high that you canâ??t walk in them but high enough to accentuate your legs. If the wedding is outside, then itâ??s best not to wear heels or choose a pair of wedge heels that will go with occasion dresses. Chances are youâ??ll be stood on grass at some point so youâ??ll only end up sinking in to the mud. Opt for a chunkier style heel, or even go for flat, satin ballerina style pumps.
The Birthday Party
If youâ??re off to a birthday party, then check your invite for the dress code, this should give you some idea. Generally, to a birthday party you can wear heels, thereâ??s no need for stilettos but women generally look their best when wearing heels.
A Dinner Date
A dinner date with your partner can leave you wondering what shoes to wear. If youâ??re going to be sat down all evening, donâ??t think that your shoes wonâ??t matter because they do. Maybe opt for less sparkly shoes and go for a pair of plain black heels to go with your dress.
Off to a Ball
If youâ??re off to a very special occasion such as a ball, then you know that what you wear on your feet is equally important as what dress you will wear. As you will be on your feet most of the night, donâ??t go for really high heels that will leave your feet aching afterwards. How about going for flatter heels, but get a lovely glitzy pair that will really be shown off when you enter the limelight.
The Garden Party
Chances are that you will be on grass and heels + grass do not mix very well. Wear a pair of ballerina style pumps, nowadays they come in a variety of different styles and colours and can go with absolutely any outfit you want to wear.
Party in the Summer
If youâ??re having a party in the summer months, then wear a pair of glitzy heeled sandals. They will look ultra feminine whilst making you feel really summery.
 Party in the Winter
A winter party is a difficult one as you want to look great, but want to keep your feet warm at the same time. Wear a pair of sheer or black thick tights with your dress and then wear a nice pair of heeled shoes. Go for shiny ones as this will make you feel more glamorous.
Choosing the perfect pair of shoes to go with your outfit is essential to keep you looking stylish and trendy over the autumn and winter months. There is a wide range of fabulous styles at the moment, in colours and prints which will guarantee you look good for all different occasions. Keep your look fresh and comfortable with some of these classic trends:
If you are choosing an everyday look for the office, black wedge shoes or boots will look great teamed up with a figure fixing a-line skirt or a pair of women’s trousers and blouse or top. Classic court shoes and ankle boots are also very stylish at the moment, and will help keep your look smart and sophisticated for work. Kitten heels are also a trendy look for this season and come in a wide range of styles, including the on trend animal print. The heel is small enough to ensure you are still comfortable, without compromising your look. Kitten heels will look great teamed up with a belted or stylish empire line dress for the office.
When out with the girls shopping or having lunch, a pair of black knee high boots are on trend at the moment, and are ideal with a pair of jeans or leggings and a long length top. During the cold weather, you want to be comfortable and well insulated, so a pair of stylish wedge fur boots or biker boots are an ideal choice for autumn/winter 2010. UGG boots are a more expensive choice, but will see you through the years, and will keep your feet well protected in all weathers. These types of boots will look stylish with a chunky knitted dress, and a belt to accentuate your waist.
If you are looking for shoes for a special night out or party, a pair of studded wedge boots will look fabulous with your classic little black dress or a stylish pair of leather trousers. Peep toe shoes are a great trend for autumn/winter 2010 and come in a wide range of styles to suit many different outfits. Colour trends to look out for this season are camel, deep purple and charcoal grey. Choose shoes with a bow or a bit of sparkle, to create a more expensive and glamorous look.
As we are quickly heading towards the Christmas period, the chances are you will be starting to look for that perfect outfit for all the parties and nights out you will be attending. A pair of multi strap diamanté heels will look great with a gorgeous sequin bandage or slash neck dress and a classic pair of peep toe platform shoes will elongate your legs and give your height an extra boost. A pair of on trend wedge shoes are ideal to team up with a floor length maxi dress or tunic dress.
Complete any look with the latest aviator jacket trend and a stylish clutch bag, to make sure you are trendy throughout the winter seasons, no matter what the occasion.
Sometimes we can all get stuck in a bit of a style rut where we tend to gravitate towards wearing the clothes that we feel comfortable in. Sometimes this can be an old favourite even though it is starting to look a little worn other times we tend to stick to the same styles and colours of clothing buying almost identical pieces over and over again. What we choose to wear each day plays an important part in our lives in terms of how we feel, our confidence and energy levels.
Wearing the same neutral coloured clothes can become a style rut (although neutrals are really in trend this year)Â and sometimes a little bit of a change can do us the world of good. Wearing bright clothes will make you feel happy, confident and energised but all too often people ar afraid of wearing bright colours. Spring and summer is a great time to wear bright clothes. The sun is out, everyone is happier and less likely to resort to those comfort zone clothes.
If you would like to dress in more colourful outfits, there is no need to wear head to toe bright colours. There are plenty of ways that you can introduce a pop of colour to an outfit without going overboard. Think about which colours you really like and which will go with existing outfits in your wardrobe and give them a try. There will be a range of colours that really suit your complexion and colouring and occasionally adding some of these to your outfit will really make you glow. You can even try combining colours that you don’t expect to go together, you might surprise yourself and find some great combinations, think about clashing colours like red and orange. How you combine colours is almost as important as what colours you choose to wear in the first place. For example red against a black outfit will look very different to red against a white background.
Here are some great ways that you can add a pop of colour to your outfits for spring:
AÂ coloured scarf - a scarf is such an easy way to add colour to a neutral outfit. You can go for a plain one coloured scarf or more complex patterned scarf. Scarves work well for both smart and casual outfits. Try combining with t-shirts and jeans or trouser suits.
A coloured clutch bag - a brightly coloured clutch bag is a really good way to add a bit of interest to a plain black or navy dress. You could also try pastel colours with a beige or neutral dress.
A patterned blouse - floral, geometric, spots or stripes are all great patters for adding a bit of colour to a plain coloured suit.
Shoes – a coloured pair of shoes with a plain outfit is a great way to add some colour with out taking away the simplicity of the outfit. Try some coloured patent ballet pumps for a chic and stylish look.
