I prefer muted metals though..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645493 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 20:24:35 +0000 Vix 1645493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Chris --</p> <p>I'm another cooler-toned metallics person (works with my skintone). I have silver through platinum and mauve. Rose-golds that skew more rose and less gold work but I haven't found one in style that works for me.</p> <p>Have fun looking -- metallics really are super-versatile as long as you like shiny. [I do!] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645485 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 19:44:51 +0000 Suz 1645485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all!! Bring on the metals!&nbsp;</p> <p>In all seriousness...I have dark ashy blonde hair turning silver in places so both silver and gold if soft work rather as "bookends" to my hair. Even a very gold toned gold bookends. Both silver and gold also work as near-nudes for my fairly pale skin. I don't currently own any rose gold, but I would love that as well. And pewter makes an incredibly versatile neutral; I wore pewter sandals as my everyday sandals for two years running and couldn't seem to find an outfit they did not complement.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will mix metals in an outfit without problem although I'm sometimes selective about the mixing.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645404 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 14:30:12 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1645404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have found that rose gold and pewter are both fantastic neutral footwear colors for me. &nbsp;I have ballet flats in both colors, plus a pewter Dansko mary jane from a few years ago. &nbsp;If the outfit skews warm I go with rose gold, cool then pewter. &nbsp;I wear mostly silver jewelry. &nbsp; </p> <p>I have been fascinated with metallic sneakers lately. &nbsp;I just added these KSwiss rose gold ones to my "collection". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645402 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 14:24:24 +0000 Chris987 1645402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone, so much great info to think about!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645393 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 14:06:34 +0000 Dee 1645393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always preferred silver, because I think it goes better with black and the cooler tones that make up most of my wardrobe. But I bought a pair of gold sandals last year and wore the heck out of them, so I may reconsider that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645332 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 11:11:47 +0000 Anonymous 1645332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer silver, as most of my jewelry is silver and silver goes with my complexion and with all of my clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645219 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 23:22:35 +0000 Angie 1645219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear <b>both</b> gold and silver footwear. I prefer gold as a metal though, and wear that more frequently to match belts, bags and <i>sometimes</i> the hardware in my outfit. I have both gold and silver watches and wedding rings - so swap them out too. But I DO prefer the gold, and it works better with my hair. (Both metals work well on my complexion). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645158 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 21:02:20 +0000 MomOfThree1980 1645158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually go with bronze or rose gold colored metallic shoes.&nbsp; Jewelry wise....rose gold or white gold only for me.&nbsp; Just personal preference for most of the female members in my family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645119 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 19:31:48 +0000 plonkee 1645119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear gold or rose gold at all, and usually wear silver-coloured jewellery and hardware. But I find silver shoes difficult to pull off unless they are very strappy with lots of skin showing. I think pewter is a bit better. I prefer a low contrast generally, which probably drives my preferences. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645069 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 17:57:42 +0000 jacquez 1645069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer pewter or bronze to silver or gold. I find them more neutral and more go-with-everything.</p> <p>Which reminds me that I haven't a good metallic shoe right now, having worn both my pairs to death over the past few years.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1645000 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 16:27:04 +0000 rebekahphoto 1645000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go with both, currently i have silver boots, brogues, booties and sandals &amp; I like the shimmer from the silver &amp; I wear mostly cool tones that complement the silver well</p> <p>I also have a gold sandals, which I find a bit more interesting than a tan--but they work similar for me it could be a netural/close to my hair color when I want lower contrast footwear. I also like the glam factor of the gold, it feels good for a little summer boho/greek inspired feel </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1644882 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 14:12:31 +0000 JAileen 1644882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm simplifying my wardrobe, so silver to bookend my silver hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1644878 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 14:10:54 +0000 Anonymous 1644878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mix happily and love metallics as neutrals. Gold goes best with my skin, but silver goes best with my hair and I wear both warm and cool colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1644867 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 13:40:43 +0000 shedev 1644867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silver to go with my cool toned wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1644852 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:45:54 +0000 El Cee 1644852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another metal mixer here. I have an assortment of metallic shoes and sandals (including one pair of sandals that mixes 3 metals). I treat them as light neutrals (like I would treat white, cream or taupe) and am not overly concerned with the warm/cool factor. (I often mix warm and cool tones in an outfit anyway.) I usually choose which pair of metallic shoes to wear based on the jewelry and handbag I will be using that day.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1644849 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:32:57 +0000 Aquamarine 1644849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, metallics are a more interesting version of a neutral shoe. Hence, I prefer golds/bronzes which more closely match skin tone than silver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1644848 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:31:24 +0000 Murph11 1644848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a metal-mixer, and would go equally with both. In recent years, I've been breaking myself of an almost all black shoe wardrobe, and silver booties and sandals have been added. And, I have one pair of slides that crisscross with silver, gold and bronze. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/choosing-metallic-shoes-sandals#post-1644844 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 12:23:56 +0000 Chris987 1644844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There has been a lot of great discussion about metallic shoes/sandals lately.&nbsp; I'd like to hear how people decide which color to choose for their wardrobes. For example I tend to think of gold as going with warmer colors and silver going with cooler colors, and bronze and rose gold can go with either. Then there is low vs. high contrast consideration.. </p> <p>How do you decide and what works for you?&nbsp;.</p>
