The specs of the shoe will matter as much as the colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1465509 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 03:07:55 +0000 rabbit 1465509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to add a little disclaimer, although I've seen 'nude' shoes look great on other people, I've yet to find a 'true to me' nude that doesn't just make my skin look uber pale or gray next to it. &nbsp; So for example, many warm cognac sandals look really awful on me. &nbsp; So I think a lot depends on 'which' beige sandal and how it works with your particular coloring -- since if it's not taking color cues from your clothes or hair (like a black sandal) it really just taking them from your skin.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1465465 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 01:23:12 +0000 Aquamarine 1465465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your thoughts. Yes, my summer outfits, even if they contain black items, show skin. Last year I had a casual pair of beige sandals and found them versatile. This year I need a dressy pair and am hoping they will look right with darker dresses. I am a classic IT with dark hair and thin legs. I have multiple pairs of black shoes and boots, but in the summer black just looks odd and heavy&nbsp;on my feet. I suppose if I could wear very strappy sandals it wouldn't matter, but it's a struggle keeping that type of sandal&nbsp;on so I need more foot coverage.</p> <p>Joy, I love metallics in the summer and have several metallic flats that I wear. I would love to find a sandal too.</p> <p>Anyway, rambling here but you have all assured me that beige will work over black. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1465074 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:20:51 +0000 Anonymous 1465074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want a limited number of summer sandals, I'd go with something that can act as a nude on you. It goes with anything. Have you considered a metallic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1465070 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:15:13 +0000 crutcher 1465070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go for the lighter shoe in summer...Beige shoes have gotton a lot &nbsp;of attention recently...you would be right on... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1465000 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 07:19:34 +0000 Dimity 1465000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoyed wearing the beige shoes I bought for this summer. They looked good with everything, never too heavy and were leg lengthening. I'd go with that because black does sometimes look heavy, especially on slim feet with lots of straps.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1464989 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 05:36:37 +0000 Deborah 1464989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given we are talking summer, can I assume that you outfits will show some skin?&nbsp; If so, then I think the lighter sandal can actually bookend with, for example, bare arms, skin at the neckline etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1464987 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 05:24:46 +0000 Adela 1464987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go with beige, taupe or tan, if you need something that really goes with (almost) anything. For sandals, even if they don't match your clothes or hair, they match with your skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1464921 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 01:24:11 +0000 Sal 1464921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both would work, I would go with your preference. &nbsp;I had a similar dilemma in my summer and decided on black in the end (flat sandals)..it just tied in with black shorts and tees nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1464919 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 01:21:24 +0000 Suz 1464919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beige or taupe&nbsp;will look fine with a darker outfit as long as you tie it in somehow. If it bookends your hair more or less, then you have automatic cohesion. With dark hair, that won't be the case, but any outfit that includes some lighter elements along with dark should be workable.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beige-or-black#post-1464912 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 01:07:12 +0000 Aquamarine 1464912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have need of a dressy sandal for a few events this summer, and cannot decide between a black pair or a beige pair. Our summers are s short so I do not want both. I am looking at some cage-style sandals (are they still in style?), mostly because my feet are narrow and difficult to fit so the more straps the better.</p> <p>i have dark hair and wear a fair amount of black in the summer, but a black sandal seems so heavy, especially a caged sandal. Beige is leg-lengthening (I am 5'4") but I am not convinced it would look ok with a darker outfit, given my hair color. Your thoughts? </p>
