Footwear is the completion to any outfit, like the period at
the end of the style sentence. Footwear can completely make or break the style
that you are trying to create. Mismatched footwear to an outfit is one of the
most common mistakes made.
For spirited style, nothing adds spirit quite like sandals
or boots verses an average everyday shoe and they are each available in so many
styles that creating your own look is easier than ever. A pair of each should
of course be included in any stylish wardrobe but most especially if you are
looking to add a touch of flair to your look.
Boots and sandals are very iconic and cultural, native to
many regions and historical fashion and continue to maintain their popularity.
The resurgence a few years ago of the Roman-looking dress sandals, the
Gladiator look, is a perfect example of this. Boots and sandals are common to
many regions worldwide so selecting the style that exhibits your favorite
cultural influence or look is the key to adding just the right touch to
complete your look. Even if your style is to mix and match, just make sure
there is continuity and flow, this is the key in putting together an eclectic
world look. The wrong color scheme for the outfit or for your own skin tones
and coloring will ruin what you are trying to create. Style takes thought and
time, throwing together mismatched footwear with mismatched clothing will not
produce the desired result. For example (and this type of thing is seen often),
flip-flops with a lace dress are not going to work.
Whether your choice is boots or sandals to add a little
spirit to your look, take your time, think it through and make sure that it all
flows nicely.
