When an outfit looks off, the shoes might fix it. There are so many varieties of style, vibe, colour, pattern, fabric, coverage, complexity, heel height, and level of dressiness. Try a few different footwear options and see whether the outfit improves. 

Sometimes the style of the shoe is right, but the colour is off. Shoes might need to create a lower or higher contrast with your skin tone, bottoms, socks, or pantyhose to create the look you like. Be neutral instead of non-neutral, or vice versa.

The best shoes are comfortable and practical, and you might choose a pair despite its appearance. Ensuring that you have happy feet will usually trump wearing a different style that’s visually more pleasing and less comfortable. That’s so okay.
