A Few Tips for Choosing the Right High Heeled Shoes for You and Your Outfit.

There are a mass of assorted types of high heeled shoes, including pumps, platforms, sandals, wedges and heeled boots for womenthere is also the increasing trend for men to now wear heels, this shows just how many styles todays shoe fashion embraces. High heeled shoes dont have to be too high to be fashionable and comfortable so here are a few hints for helping to choose the right pair of high heeled shoes:
....Choose the correct shoe shape and heel height for your legs.... If legs are too stocky, heels with a pointed toe may appear much smaller and may make feet look out of proportion with the rest of the body. Find a shoe that makes the legs look in proportion with the shoes. Many people make their legs appear leaner by choosing a wider design in high heel shoes. Bear in mind also that heels which are too sturdy may make your legs look sturdy also.
....What shoes are best for an outfit?.... Dress length, style, and colour are tantamount to shoe choice, as an example, if very high heels are chosen with a very short skirt there is serious danger of the wrong message being conveyed. high heeled shoes will enhance the look of long skirts on a shorter person but take note of the height of the heel as the dress or skirt must not appear too long or too short. A floor length dress does not require elaborate shoes because they will not be visible. Mid height heels may be more suitable for knee length outfits. Be careful of wearing highly decorative shoes with a longer dress particularly as they may conflict with the dress details. Extravagant shoes achieve better results with shorter dresses. Simple classic shoes are more suited to longer elaborate dresses. Avoid black shoes with pastel outfits unless bags and belts are coordinated. If wearing jeans, the shape of the bottom of the jean leg can also affect the type of heels that should be worn. Platform heels can be great with jeans and if the jeans are longer the impression is that you are taller which can be a bonus!
....Safety.... With high heels and stilettos, beware of strappy shoes. Ankles can be twisted easily. Take care that straps are firmly attached and the heel chosen is well balanced. Maybe choose a wedge heel. An additional idea would be to roughen the bottoms of new shoes which can help one avoid slipping on the dance floor.
....Flexibility.... Wedge heels can provide the best of both worlds and can give all the leg slimming and extra height benefits of a normal heel. They are great with middle length skirts and minis and are great for wearing to the office. heeled boots can also be very flexible and can be worn with almost all outfits. They are great with skirts and acceptable to wear to the office.
....Comfort.... High heels dont have to mean super high heels or stilettos which can be very painful if not selected properly, and they are also not suited for walking too far in. If heels do need to go hand in hand with comfort, which is a sensible option..then a lower heel or a kitten heel should be selected. Maybe choose a style with squared-off toes or open toes and shorter, chunkier heels instead of stilettos or maybe, again, theversatile wedge heel which slopes the foot gently and supports the whole of the foot area. Wedge heels are good for the office because they can be worn for longer periods of time without too much strain on the foot. maybe shop later in the day as the foot can swell as the day goes by. Also allow a period of time to break them in if one aims to wear them to a special function. at the end of the day the heel height chosen should be determined by how much discomfort one can allow oneself.
....Sex appeal....Sandals with heels and boots with heels are very, very, sexy, and very adaptable as well. In addition to enhancing ones femininity, sandals fastened at the ankle, or higher up the leg, will draw attention to legs as well as feet. Most sandals, including flip flops, some of which do fall under the category of high heels, have small, delicate heels, called kitten heels, which gives them a look that can be dressed up or dressed down, depending on ones preferences.
