Red shoes are a bright accessory that every fashionista should have. Wearing red shoes requires a certain amount of courage and an inherent sense of style, because such a pair of shoes does not always harmonize with certain clothes. What is it worth wearing red shoes so as not to be considered tasteless and vulgar?

- Wearing bright red shoes to work with a strict dress code is considered inappropriate. Of course, in some cases there are exceptions - for example, for the campaign manager or for the fashion industry employee.
- A glut of red is tasteless. A red suit, a red blouse, a red bag and shoes are not the most successful image.
- Shoes can not be combined with summer light dresses and sundresses.
- Shoes do not look with bright, flashy prints, ruffles and lace.
- Tights and stockings in bright colors, with patterns, prints, arrows and other decorations, as well as fishnet tights are an inappropriate combination for red shoes. In addition, the shoes do not combine with golfs and leggings of any color and style.
- It is also not recommended to wear black and brown tights and stockings with red shoes. The best option is flesh-colored tights, suitable for skin tone.
- With very short skirts, red shoes look indecent, and with dresses and skirts made of shiny and latex fabrics - vulgar.
- In itself, a pair of red shoes is a striking element in the overall image, so additional accessories will be redundant.
- Red shoes should not be worn with other bright colors - poisonous green, orange, yellow, poisonous pink and similar shades.
- The combination of a red bag and red shoes is already unfashionable - modern trends offer more original and bold images.
- Red patent leather shoes have little to do with anything, so you should think carefully before buying it.
- With multi-colored leggings and ripped blue jeans, red shoes are strictly prohibited.
In addition, it is worth taking into account not only the style combination of shoes and clothes, but also the relevance - at some events wearing such bright shoes is unacceptable.
What to wear red shoes with?
There are classic combinations of red shoes with clothes and accessories of different styles:
- clothes of neutral tones: black, white, gray, beige;

Red pumps pair with classic-cut dresses and skirts with a yoke in neutral colors.
Red ballet flats and thick heeled shoes pair with skinny pants, jeans, and leggings.
Suede red shoes produce the effect of high cost and true style, so this pair of shoes is more suitable for an evening celebration.
Red high-heeled shoes look great with a high-waist skirt, a short "club" dress of dark yellow or golden color, and also not too short dark-colored shorts.
Platform shoes are an exclusively summer option, perfect for a fluffy skirt or medium-length white dress.
