Open-toe shoes

It is unrealistic to imagine the spring-summer wardrobe of a modern fashionista without graceful models of shoes with an open toe. They have not gone out of fashion for several seasons. A whole army of fans ready to wear them in any situation and under any outfit.

This shoe is interesting in that even with a discreet design, it always looks spectacular, attracts attention, makes the female image more elegant. The gait becomes smoother, and the legs visually lengthen. These shoes are suitable for everyday wear, and for walking around the city, and as an office option (unless of course you have a strict dress code at work). And if the open toe is combined with a high heel, then such shoes can be safely positioned as elegant.

As for shoes for everyday wear, then most often these are stable models with a small heel (about 5 cm). It can also be convenient options for wedges or tractor soles with wide heels. In addition, the nose may not be present for shoes with flat soles, ballet shoes, sandals, as well as for products with an open heel.

As for the latter, they have the property of maximally lengthening the leg, but at the same time, attention is focused on the ankle and calves. Therefore, a full-bodied model with an open heel will emphasize.

Such shoes look beautiful with a variety of decor: bows from sequins or textiles, various inserts, geometric stripes. Elegant looks stylish lacing, encircling the ankle, as well as metal rivets that surround the open nose. There are romantic patterns decorated with a satin ribbon.The most shocking option - with a contrasting high platform.

Speaking about the material from which women's shoes are made with an open cape, we note that everyday options are usually made of familiar leather and suede. Shoes made of perforated leather, nubuck and denim look interesting. Dressy models are made of brocade, velvet, satin. The top of this exquisite shoe is often decorated with beads and colored pebbles.

Open-toed shoes are presented in stores in the most diverse and unexpected colors. Often an open nose is highlighted with a contrasting color trim. White models always look elegant, especially on stilettos equipped with a thin strap with a metal buckle covering the ankle.

Creative fashionistas who love to shock others, will surely like red shoes from the famous Christian Louboutin.

Products with floral print are popular (heel and sole are solid at the same time). Shoes with imitation under the skin of reptiles in green-brown tones look original.

So, Evelina Khromchenko, a recognized guru in the fashion world, is convinced that shoes can tell about a woman much more than you can imagine. In her opinion, to demonstrate good taste, shoes with an open cape should be worn either on a bare foot (subject to an ideal pedicure) or with tights (stockings) of the same shade as shoes (the contrasting options that world-famous designers offer are good only on the catwalk).

In general, a recognized fashion expert believes that this shoe model is unacceptable as office clothing (except for the field of journalism and cinematography) - she expresses a subconscious sexual appeal in relation to surrounding men. Even made in a classic manner, such shoes never look innocent. If a woman wants to attract a man, she must be able to do this in a closed suit. According to Evelina, it’s more appropriate to wear sandals when the weather is right - they don’t carry this hypertrophied sweet femininity.

The most important question that owners of shoes with an open cape are puzzled is Is it possible to wear them with tights or stockings. I must say, the opinion of stylists on this issue is ambiguous. Some consider this unacceptable, while others quite allow it. The choice is yours, if you decide to wear tights under such shoes, then this should be a thin product (15-20 den) that imitates the “second skin”. More dense will look vulgar. As for black shoes (and this is the most common option), they can be combined with tights of the same color.

If you put on open shoes on a bare foot, then it’s good to get a beautiful tan, and also keep in mind that your pedicure must be impeccable. It can be a pastel color varnish, a bright catchy color or a fashionable floral print. Well-groomed nails always give a woman a stylish look.

As office shoes, shoes with an open cape (usually a model of a “boat” with heels) can be combined with blouses, tops or shirts. The option looks stylish when the T-shirt or top matches the tone of the shoes, the jacket - the skirt. A great everyday option for work is black shoes and a pencil skirt. Shoes for creating a business image are best to choose plain, but if your dress or skirt is brightly colored, shoes with floral or animal print are quite appropriate.

If we are considering an option for relaxation, then any shoe model with an open toe (with a heel or on a flat sole, wedge) is appropriate here. To create a romantic look, wear these shoes under a feminine dress, and these shoes look most harmonious with a long outfit or with a mini. A set of stylish stilettos and a short skirt will help you look attractive in the eyes of the surrounding men. In this case, open shoes with a cork wedge, equipped with a graceful ankle strap, will be quite appropriate.

Shoes with an open cape are perfectly acceptable to wear with jeans, trousers, shorts. However, it is necessary to observe the compatibility of materials: for example, classic flared trousers cannot be combined with groom shoes. As for jeans, they combine well with wide-heeled shoes. This ensemble is ideally complemented by a mischievous t-shirt and a bulk bag.

For a party with friends, extravagant shoes with spikes and rivets are suitable. Combine them with a long T-shirt or tunic, as the bottom choose narrow capris or mini shorts. Another option is a weightless chiffon dress.
