Every girl must already have about 4-5 different pairs of foot-wear in her closet. Needless to say they are of different colors and types of varying heel lengths and about all colors of ballet flats to go with every dress or tee you have. Even if we have about 20 different pairs of shoes we are never satisfied;) – Don’t deny- It’s a fact.
So, instead of piling up on many shoes in our closet why not have 8 different types of foot-wears for various occasions that would not only save the money but also keep you ready for almost any event that you would have to attend.
Types of Foot-wear to have in the Closet
1. Ballet Flats:
These are a classic and a fashion statement. You can team them up with almost anything and everything. From your regular jeans to trousers to skirts, shorts, LBDs, Indian wear and also while hitting the bar or mall or movies. These are a must have and I won’t believe you if you say you don’t have these in your inventory.
Buy a neutral pair like Black, Brown or Tan which could go with anything, and also do try investing in bright colors like Red, Blue, Green, Pink etc.,
2. Pumps:
Pumps with practical heels are a must in every girl’s closet. You may not need them every day but hey you never know- You may need to look presentable for presentations in college, for interviews, for job fairs. Try buying them in black or nude so they could work with all formals. Try investing one which is less than 2 inches for your comfort. But if you are a Heels-or-nothing kind if a person go for 3-4 inches but nothing higher than that. They are for formal occasions not for runway walking.
3. Dressy Sandals:
Always have a pair of dressy sandals in your inventory. They are useful when you want to look chic and elegant. You can wear them while hitting malls, casual dates, when you want to add some feminine touch to your outfit or for showing off your new pedicure *winks*. They are a must. You can choose them from flats to kitten heels to block heels depending on your comfort.
4. Flip-Flops:
These are a must, whether you use them in your homes or hostels or while in shower or simply to show-off your cute flip-flops- ALWAYS keep one handy. These are nothing less than saviors and are equivalent to comfort.
5. Casual Shoes/Sneakers:
We cannot stress the advantages of having a pair of sneakers. Every girl owns one or maybe two or probably dozens already. They are very useful while on a hectic day or the days when you are running late. These are the king of shoes and the level of comfort they provide is understated.
6. Running Shoes:
Tut Tut . . Yes Girls! You CANNOT use your sneakers for jogging or running. Running requires a different set of shoes and they are absolute must while jogging or running as they are specifically made for that purpose. You need to invest on a separate shoes if you really do care about your feet and spine (Yes, you read it right!)
7. Wedges:
Wedges are probably every girl’s training-in-heels foot-wear. They are super-comfy and they do train you for your future’s Always-in-heels days. You can never go wrong with wedges and you can wear wedges with your jeans, shorts or dresses or whatever you want to wear them with.
8. Boots:
Boots are a fashion statement and can be worn with jeans, short dress or shorts. Make sure the boots you get are well made as they can last for years and can be used in rains, storms and even while trekking.
9. Leather Sandals:
On those very hot days when you cannot wear boots or ballets these sandals rush to your rescue. They are a huge comfort and can take your glam quotient up a notch. Do invest on a leather soled sandals.
Girls, Have these foot-wears and be ready to be the fashion diva and a trend setter in your college who prioritizes both comfort and glamour and is ready to experiment with different shoes for every season and yes- every day too *Winks*
