From sneakers to pumps and everything in between, when it comes to finding the perfect outfit, shoes are just as important as clothes. It can be tempting to stock up on the one style of shoe that you like best, but we strongly suggest investing in a shoe collection that includes the basic must-haves. That way you will be ready for any occasion that comes your way with the perfect pair of shoes to match.

Timeless White Sneakers

A pair of clean, crisp, white sneakers are definitely a closet staple for all year around. A pair of these neutral kicks in classic silhouette can be worn with every possible outfit, making it a no brainer investment. The good thing about how popular and trendy white sneakers have become is that they have come out with so many different styles to perfectly match your own personal style.

Classic Black Booties

 

Whether it is for a night out with friends, date night, or a family event, a pair of black booties is essential. Depending on what you are comfortable with, the heel height can vary, if you choose to invest in a black bootie with a platform, it’ll be able to give you height while still keeping you comfortable. Another plus to adding a pair of booties to your wardrobe is that they too can be worn with so many different looks such as a dress, skirt, jeans, etc. Also, if you wanted to go for another neutral color that is not black, a brown or nude pair of booties is just as essential and versatile.

Neutral Evening Heel

The key to picking out the best pair of evening heels is to try and select a color that matches as many of your evening-wear pieces and dresses as possible. If you don’t want to break the bank and choose between a selection of colors in your closet, your best bet is going to be choosing a black pair. However, a nude pair is also a great option as it goes with most colors and can be worn during any season.

Go-To Summer Sandal

Sandals can be tricky for some people, if you do not have more of a girly style, they can put some people off. But when we say sandals, we do not necessarily mean strappy or beaded sandals. You can go for a pair of slides that are way more subtle and casual. Like your pair of heels, when picking out your staple pair of sandals, try and work out what color sandal you would wear the most depending on the clothing that you already own.

This is not shoe style or silhouette specific, but we definitely recommend investing in or at least think about investing in a pair of shoes that make a big statement color-wise. It can be a pair of sneakers, boots, slides, anything that suits you. Something like this is a great chance to spruce up a plain outfit. If you are in all black or a full nude outfit, a pop color on your feet can add a whole new element.

These shoe styles will help to ensure that you will always be stylish on a budget. Invest in a few staples and they will always pay off in the long run. Given that the fall season is here, a classic bootie is necessary with a pair of jeans while participating in all the fall activities we love, pumpkin picking, apple picking, you name it!
