How to Wear Coloured Heels

We are now leaving winter and heading into the warm, summer months, so it’s time to dust off those bright and bold coloured shoes to brighten up your wardrobe!

When it comes to buying shoes, a lot of women are hesitant to buy coloured shoes. They believe there are limitations, with what you can wear them with and instead, opt for a neutral, versatile style that can be worn, with almost everything. Neutral shoes are a definite “must have”, however there are many benefits to wearing coloured shoes and a lot of different ways to incorporate them, into your wardrobe.

Coloured shoes are a great way to bring your outfit into the current season. During summer, it's easy to throw on a bright pair of shoes with a neutral outfit. And during winter, coloured shoes are a great way to brighten up your dark, winter clothes.

Coloured shoes can be worn in a number of ways. The below are my top tips for wearing coloured shoes:

1.     Add a splash of colour to a neutral outfit. There are many women out there that favour neutral clothing as it's a simple, elegant and versatile. Adding a splash of colour can bring that trusted little black dress, into the current season, with bold and bright colours.

2.     Colour blocking. Wearing multiple bright colours, is a popular trend at the moment, so why not try it with your shoes? Don’t worry about the colours clashing, as this is what colour blocking is all about. Just remember to try and keep the tones the same. If you are wearing florescent coloured clothing and then pair it with a pair of pastel shoes, this will throw off the balance, so remember to try and harmonise your attire.

3.     Match your shoes to your outfit. With coloured shoes, they can be added, as an accent to a funky, statement outfit. If you are wearing a multicoloured, patterned outfit, pick up one of the colours in the outfit and add a pair of shoes in this colour. This will give the outfit an edge and blend it together.

4.     Add another accessory in a matching colour. This pulls an outfit together and adds harmony to your ensemble. Whether you add a handbag, piece of statement jewellery or a scarf, by adding in another matching colour, it will complete the look, without making it match, too much.

Coloured shoes are a great way to personalise your style and add character to a simple outfit.
